1: The act of throwing a party or other elaborate social event with the distinct intention to attract a specific individual, usually a current or past romantic interest
2: Making a public social media post (Instagram, Snapchat story, Facebook, etc.) that is intended to be seen or grab the attention of one particular person, typically a current or past romantic interest.
