Fishing describes the act of reaching out to multiple people on dating apps that you think you could have a chance with and waiting to see who will respond. Out of those that do, you then select who you want to reply to (now that you know youre in with a chance) and ignore those who dont float your boat.

What do you say when you catch a fish?

As far as keeping the fish on the line, or buttoned, you would say you are playing the fish any time you are using finesse to keep them from breaking your line or winching them when you are using a power technique with heavy hooks and line. Lipping is when you land them by grabbing their bottom lip.

Does fishing help anxiety?

When youre feeling stressed, overwhelmed, or overworked, a breath of fresh air can really turn your mood around. Stepping outside for just a few minutes will start to clear your thoughts, and fishing for a few hours is sure work even more wonders.
