Glowminded

Okay bestie, let’s talk about the word everyone on TikTok is screaming right now: Delulu. You’ve probably seen it plastered over every cute pink aesthetic video with sparkles and Lana Del Rey playing in the background. But what exactly is it—and why are all the girlies suddenly embracing their “delusional” era when it comes to dating?

✨ What does “Delulu” even mean?

In Gen Z dictionary, delulu = “delusional,” but in the cutest way possible. It’s basically when you let yourself believe the absolute best case scenario is already yours. Think:

He double-tapped your Insta story? → He’s clearly planning your future together. You sat next to him in class once? → Soulmates confirmed. He liked a TikTok about relationships? → Definitely about you.

Is it a little crazy? Sure. Is it insanely fun? Absolutely.

💋 Why being “Delulu” is lowkey powerful

Here’s the secret no one talks about: delusion creates confidence.

When you let yourself believe you’re THAT girl—the main character, the one he’s obsessed with—you start acting like it. And guess what? That energy is magnetic. Even if he isn’t Mr. Right, you’ll attract people who are.

Basically: delulu isn’t a flaw, it’s manifestation with glitter.

💌 How to use the “Delulu” trend for dating glow-ups

Romanticize everything. Waiting for his text? Pretend you’re in a Netflix rom-com montage. Set main character vibes. Walk into the room like your crush is already obsessed with you. Manifest, but make it hot. Write his last name next to yours on your Notes app. Bonus points if you doodle hearts. Stay playful. The point isn’t to take love too seriously—it’s to have fun and feel powerful.

👑 The Bottom Line

Being a little delulu doesn’t mean you’ve lost touch with reality—it means you’re letting yourself dream, play, and feel like the ultimate main character. And honestly? That’s way hotter than being a realist.

So go ahead, babe. Put on lip gloss, blast your “delulu era” playlist, and manifest that text back. He’s already obsessed with you… at least in your universe. 😉
