Dating is difficult enough without all the new dating trends and situations that are being created. These situations were created to help people understand the modern dating experience. While many of these terms help other people figure out what the nuances of different situations and how to deal with them, it can also make it very hard to navigate the dating world and figure out what to do. Having a term that people can use to understand will make it easier to figure out what to do when you are in this type of situation or how to prevent it. Many of these dating trends are created to reference popular people, stories or situations especially when they are awkward or uncomfortable which is where the term "Phil-Jonsing" comes from.
"Phil-Jonsing" refers to taking off your clothes prematurely when you are with someone that you are sexually interested in. To be more specific, imagine a situation when you take someone home or invite someone over and you step outside the room for one second and they are already naked. Maybe you intended to have sex with them or that you did not but the fact that they have been premature, makes you uncomfortable. You realize that you do not actually want to sleep with them and you make up an excuse about why they have to leave. You can say that you have to get up early in the morning or that you are not feeling well. You do not care if they believe you or not, you just want them to leave as quickly as possible. "Phil-Jonsing" can also happen when you see someone naked for the first time and realize that you are not actually attracted to them anymore and do not want to have sex with them.
"Phil-Jonsing" can also go the other way, when you are the person who has misread the situation and are left feeling embarrassed by your behavior. Perhaps you assumed that when they said to get more comfortable that they meant that you should get naked for them, or maybe you were just too eager. The feeling of embarrassment and awkwardness that happens causes you to make up an excuse to leave by saying that you have to work in the morning or that you are helping your friend move and have to get up early. It most likely means that you will probably never contact them again because you are so embarrassed about what happened. Both situations offer a lot of embarrassment, shame, and awkwardness.
Although, this type of situation has been common in dating in the past, it is becoming even more prevalent with the popularity of online dating sites and dating apps. This is because some people use these sites to find hookups while other are looking for exclusive relationships. Especially since not everyone is going to be comfortable with online hookups and having sex with someone that they have only met on the internet. Many people will also misread the situation and assume things about other people instead of asking them out right. They are worried that they might look shy or weird if they are constantly asking for clarification.
Not everyone will be honest about what they are expecting from dating sites because they do not want to decrease their chances of actually finding someone. They are worried that if they say that they are only looking for something casual that people will think negatively about them. This confusion means that this situation is pretty common. When someone invites someone back to their place, it does not always mean that there will be sex involved or anything serious is going to happen and that people are not going to want to change their minds once they get there.

He made his debut with the club in 2011 for the pre-season tour but made his competitive debut by substituting for another player during a game. He is well-known for playing for Manchester United and his sometimes unique antics on the field. On and off the field, people have a lot of respect for him but obviously, some of his behaviors have caused him to become a popular choice for a running joke that refers to a very uncomfortable situation and experience when dating.
This term "Phil-Jonsing" refers to when Phil Jones who took his shirt off in celebration of his team winning the team. However, this was moments before his opponent scored a late goal that won them the game during the 2011/2012 BFL season. His choice to take off his shirt prematurely was awkward and embarrassing for himself and his team. The act of celebrating before actually getting anything or finishing is why the term "Phil Jonsing" became popularized in reference to dating.
"Phil-Jonsing" might be a new dating term but this idea of celebrating before winning anything is actually a popular trend and there are many ways that this term connects to everyday situations. An older and more well-known phrase "jumping the gun" means to do something too soon without thinking carefully about it or fully understanding the situation. It refers to sports contests where a gun was fired to signal the beginning of the race and someone who starts off running before the gun is fired. "Jumping the gun" has been used to describe when someone does something that embarrasses them in front of other people because they were too eager or impatient to wait.
Another way to think about "Phil-Jonsing" is that it is premature. It could be that the other person wanted to have sex with you but when they saw that you were already naked, they decided that that was too forward or presumptuous of you and wanted to punish you for this behavior. Nobody wants to be in this kind of situation because it is hard to predict how people will react. Some may find the situation funny which will make you feel self-conscious while others might get offended by it. It is a spur of the moment decision that can make dating very uncomfortable.
This type of premature behavior can also be very harmful to your chances of having sex or finding hookups. Not everyone wants to have sex right away and sometimes signals can be crossed that can cause confusion about what the situation is or what is going to happen. In modern dating anything premature is a bad thing. It makes people feel awkward and nobody is going to want to have sex with someone who makes them feel that way. This can be a serious turn off for people and can harm your chances of actually having sex with this person.
"Phil-Jonsing" means when someone gets too excited and does something without thinking about the consequences or figuring out what could happen. Although a little spontaneity is good and necessary when it comes to dating, you need to learn how to read the room and figure out the appropriate behavior in this situation before you do anything. This includes determining when you should get naked and when you should not by reading the signs and signals that the other person is giving you.
If you want to avoid this situation, it is important to learn how to read your partner's body language. If someone is interested in having sex with you, they are going to give you certain signals. These physical behaviors and cues are going to show you that they are willing and ready to hook up. Likely, they will touch you a lot by stroking your leg or leaning in close when you are talking. They will glance at your mouth and at your body and slowly tease you with soft touches and whispers. They might even say that they want you to come home with them so that you can get to know each other better or ask you to come in for a "nightcap". They might even mention breakfast or how comfortable their bed is to you. These are all cues that they want to have sex with you.
However, in this situation, your response can also affect on if they want to have sex with you. If you are giving them uncertain or unclear signals then they are going to feel rejected and they will pull away from you. If you want to show that you are interested, make sure that you respond by being affectionate back. Also, you should say that you really enjoy spending time with them and that you are looking forward to the rest of the night. Respond to their questions with encouragement. This will show them that you want to have sex with them too and will make it less awkward when you get invited to their place.
Even when you get to their place, you should not take off your clothes right away unless they start doing it first. The other person is likely going to determine the pace of the night since it is their house. It is important to make sure that you are not being too eager unless they make the first move. Slowly move closer to each other and start off with kissing. There is nothing wrong with spending some time on foreplay. It helps to set the mood and also can help make the sex even better. Foreplay is also beneficial if you want to gage how the other person is feeling and how interested they are in you. If they are an active participant, then this is a good sign that they really like you.
However, one of you is going to have to take the initiative in this situation without being too aggressive and turning the other person off. It is best to default to the other person but if the other person is waiting for you to make the first move then this could cause problems. If it feels like they are waiting for you to make the first move, then you can take the initiative but then ask them if they are okay with what you just did. You want to be certain that they are enjoying themselves too. You should sound confident and in control of the situation when you ask so that they know that you care about their feelings and that is why you are taking it slow. When in doubt, it is better to ask for permission rather than forgiveness especially if you want to see them again.
To prevent "Phil-Jonsing," you need to make sure that the other person can clearly see what you are doing. It is a better idea to start undressing them first so that they can undress you at the same time. This way not only one person is naked and being a passive partner. Reciprocity is also important since you do not want all the focus to be on just one of person. This will make it difficult because that puts pressure on the other person to perform which can be intimidating for casual hookups.
If you have taken someone home that has "Phil-Jonsed" you then your reaction will change depending on what you were expecting to happen. If you do not like the fact that they just assumed that you would have sex with them, ask them to leave. But if you are just very uncomfortable or awkward since you did not expect it, you can either make a joke or make up an excuse why they need to leave. It is going to be awkward no matter what you do especially when they put their clothes back on so you can give them a little privacy to do it. It is okay to change your mind and decide not to have sex with someone but you should know that it is not going to be the easiest situation.
