    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.”
