Soft launch
含义: Subtly revealing a new relationship on social media without showing the person's face or naming them.
A soft launch is the art of hinting at a new relationship online without fully confirming it. This might include posting a photo of two coffee cups, a hand-holding shot that doesn't show the other person's face, or a vague caption. It builds curiosity and allows you to test the reaction before committing to a 'hard launch' — a full reveal with face and name.
