What Does WLTM Mean in a Text?

The Growing Glossary of Dating Slang

If you're new to online dating, then I'm afraid there is whole new language with well over 250 terms for you to learn.

Particularly since the rise of the iKids, people have been far more open about their sexual preferences and desires, and this has generated a long glossary of new dating terms. Many sexual preferences are still abbreviated on dating sites, presumably with the idea that those who do not understand the term do not need to know it. That thinking does not help newcomers though. Here is the term you're looking for:

WLTM ("Would Like To Meet") is an abbreviation commonly used in the personal descriptions of people looking for partners on internet dating sites.

More Detail...

Of interest, dating sites are full of specialist abbreviations, which have their roots in a time when personal ads featured in local newspapers and users were charged by the word. (A term like WLTM would cost the user the fee for one word as opposed to four.)

An Academic Look at WLTM

WLTM is an initialism abbreviation. Technically, this means it is pronounced using its individual letters (i.e., Dublyu Ell Tee Em), but as this is harder to say than "Would love to meet," it is not often uttered using its letters. In other words, the abbreviation WLTM is for efficiency in writing and not efficiency in speech.
