There are some things that go in the world of single people that probably happen frequently, and no one has coined a term for it. The couch creep is a term I came up with for something that has happened to me a few times, and I’m sure it’s happened to you too.
The couch creep occurs when two people are (obviously) on a couch hanging out. At first, they are sitting a socially acceptable distance a part. Then, next thing you know, the other party is right next to you, uncomfortably close to you, and they have literally crept over without your notice.
This has happened to me watching a movie with a guy friend, who appeared to have other ideas, and in a small group situation at dinner parties. In every occurrence it has been with men where I think it is a friendly situation, but they appear to think it is something different. I guess in different circumstances, this would not be considered a creep, but a welcome movement closer.
This can also apply to other situations. I constantly tell my coworker that he is chair creeping me when he moves away from his desk, and backs up towards me.
Food for thought….
Any other folks experience “Couch Creep”?

Potomac Harmony is Back! Following a gap year of competing, then virtual rehearsals during the pandemic, followed by the well-earned retirement of our long-term director, a year of a director search, Potomac Harmony hit the regional contest stage in Concord, North Carolina in March for the first time since 2018! It was exhilarating, reaffirming, and rewarding!
The chorus hit all of its goals, the biggest of which was to have fun and sing our best on contest stage — we did both! Because we earned a score over 400 points, our new Director, Allison Lynskey, was awarded the Novice Director award, photo above. Additionally, one of our charter members, Jackie Bottash, was nominated for and honored with the Leadership Excellence award. It was a celebratory weekend!
What’s next? So much! We now look forward to upcoming performances, growing our membership, and expanding our musical product with new arrangements and an education component each week. It’s an exciting time to be part of this ever-growing ensemble!
