If you are also confused like us on what exactly it is and what it means, then we are here to save you time. Floodlighting is a new, messy dating term where an individual unleashes a torrent of emotions on a first date. It simply means oversharing past relationship drama, or if we simply put it, giving trauma to the other person.

What Is Floodlighting?

Floodlighting is throwing a wet blanket on singles seeking genuine connections. The term involves sharing a lot of personal details all at once to test the waters, speed up intimacy, or even to check if the other person is a potential partner for you. For some, this emotional intimacy is a genuine attempt at vulnerability, while for others, it's a calculated move that might work. This term is often said to be used by emotional manipulators who involve oversharing personal details to evoke empathy and create a false sense of trust.

As per the reports by Glamour, it is said that if you are dealing with a floodlighter, there are a few red flags to watch out for, like how they might dive into deeply personal stories right away or overshare intimate details while barely letting you know.

While some people find it a great way to connect or bond, we feel it is highly unnecessary and senseless, as intimate connections and traumatic experience talks are very deep and happen over a time frame when you become comfortable with a person.
