EN: leading someone on (romantically); a flirt who feigns interest
That person who gives you mixed signals. They're sweet, they text you 'good morning', they remember your coffee order, but have 'no label' commitment issues. They make you fall for them, then hit you with a 'friends lang tayo.' It's an emotional trap, bes!
Taglish compound from the Tagalog causative prefix 'pa-' + English 'fall' (as in 'fall in love').
A very common term in modern Filipino dating culture. Can be used as an adjective to describe the person ('Ang pa-fall mo!') or a verb ('Huwag mo akong pa-fall-in').
