What Does Lockering Mean in a Text?
The Growing Glossary of Dating Slang
If you're new to online dating, then I'm afraid there is whole new language with well over 250 terms for you to learn.Particularly since the rise of the iKids, people have been far more open about their sexual preferences and desires, and this has generated a long glossary of new dating terms. Many sexual preferences are still abbreviated on dating sites, presumably with the idea that those who do not understand the term do not need to know it. That thinking does not help newcomers though. Here is the term you're looking for:
Lockering means "Using Academic Studies as an Excuse for Cooling a Relationship."
More Observations...
It is used in dating to refer to the practice of withdrawing from a romantic relationship by claiming that you wish to spend more time on your studies. For example:- Do you really want to spend more time studying, or are you lockering me because you don't love me anymore?
- Sal is lockering Paul because she wants to spend more time with the theater group and Paul just doesn't get it.
