popsicle

An online dating term for when your instinct is to play it the opposite of cool, but you end up trying too hard to play "hard to get" and you freeze the other person out. In other words, you act so chill that the object of your affection deems you uninterested and moves on. For example, "I’m really into Sam, but I popsicled too hard. He got a brain freeze and stopped texting back."
