Abstract
This paper is a linguistic survey of certain dating moves and marriage relationships. The purpose of the paper is to establish a medium to mediate breakups in the modern society through adequate use of communication. Hence, 21 dating terms and slang terms were purposively accessed from the net while 2excerpts of conversations were also selected from different partners in relationships. It employs Politeness Principle theory to analyse real life situation to show how the use of language can make or mar relationships. It peeps into the concept of ‘love language’ which everyone possesses and how this can make all the difference in saving a relationship. It is discovered that most dating terms actually connote different things from their original meanings. It is also established that people respond emotionally to expressions whether negative or positive and this goes on to determine how successful a relationship is. The paper then concludes that relationships do not become burdensome unless communication in relationships becomes impared. It is therefore suggested that couples pay closer attention to their love languages if they hope to fix their love life.
