A fresh and relatable perspective on love and relationships for Gen Z audiences, using their unique language and cultural touchstones to interpret the seven stages of love. It captures the essence of Gen Z’s approach to love, which often incorporates humor, self-awareness, and a blend of online and offline experiences.

If GenZ were to explain the “7 stages of love ” using their slang and vibe, it might go something like this:
1. Dilkashee (Attraction) “OMG, this is totally the ‘love at first swipe’ vibe. Like, you see them, and you’re already lowkey simping, thinking, ‘This could be a whole vibe, fr fr.'”
2. Ishq (Love) “Now you’re straightup obsessed, like, ‘This person is my whole Pinterest board.’ You’re catching major feels and can’t stop stalking their stories. It’s giving soulmate energy, no cap.”
3. Aqeedat (Reverence) “Bruh, you’re in the ‘they can do no wrong’ phase. Everything they say hits different, and you’re like, ‘This person is legit main character material, period.'”
4. Ibaadat (Worship) “Now it’s getting deep deep. You’re simping so hard it feels spiritual. Like, ‘I’d literally walk barefoot in the rain to bring them iced coffee.’ This is not a crush anymore; it’s a whole religion, bestie.”
5. Junoon (Obsession) “Yo, this is toxic lowkey. You’re in your ‘stalker mode activated’ arc, and it’s giving ‘unhinged.’ Like, ‘If they even breathe near someone else, it’s over for me.’ But you’re here for the drama, obvio.”
6. Maut (Death of Ego) “This hits like, ‘It’s not even about me anymore.’ You’re in your ‘Do whatever makes you happy’ era, and honestly, it’s kind of humbling. You’re down bad but also vibing with the selfless love thing.”
7. Fanaa (Union) “The ‘We’re one now’ vibe. Like, y’all are basically that couple everyone ships hard. It’s giving ‘soulmates coded in the stars,’ and you’re both in your ‘forever and always’ bag. Chef’s kiss, no drama, just vibes.”
And, of course, they’d sum it all up by saying, “Lowkey deep af, but also a whole mood.”
Hi fellow Pandas! I have a passion for storytelling and sharing unique perspectives through the written word. With a background in journalism, I have spent my career crafting engaging content that informs, entertains, and inspires. When I am not typing away at my keyboard, you can find me sleeping like a Panda.

Hey there, Pandas! My name is Diana (though some prefer to refer to me as Diane, Deanna, and even Liana sometimes), and I am a Community Post Moderator Lead for Bored Panda.
As my position title states, I am one of the people (employed Pandas for bamboo) over here who work with the community side of things on this website to ensure all is well, and while at that, I also help various creators and artists get recognition for the incredible work they do by connecting them to a large worldwide audience.
Other than that, outside of work, you can find me brewing a nice cup of coffee, making a pizza from scratch, or baking brownies. I also love traveling, concerts, and cats (heavy on that, because I am a cat mom).
