CategoriesTexting & Internet Slang

WLTM stands for Would like to meet, a dating and relationship abbreviation also used in general use.

Personal-ad phrase introducing the kind of person the advertiser hopes to meet, as in "WLTM tall, kind man, 40 to 50." Typical of UK newspaper lonely-hearts ads, where space was paid for by the word.

Example: Divorced dad, 45, GSOH, WLTM kind lady for country walks.

Usage notes

Abbreviations kept classified ads cheap when each word or line cost money. WLTM survives in some dating-site profiles, especially among older British users. Readers outside the UK may not recognize it.
