Lovefriend 

Term used to describe a person with whom one has a romantic fling with for a short period of time, but who is not pursued for a deeper, more meaningful relationship. Not to be confused with "friends with benefits", which insinuates a purely physical relationship with inconsequential fornication.

After meeting each other at a language summer camp, S and C developed a lovefriend relationship: they acted like a typical couple, but went no further and parted their separate ways forever after the camp.

LOLfriender 

Someone who hangs onto large groups of friends, and tries to leech off some friendship. Often fails miserably. Most likely they will try to woo potential partners, and of course, fail miserably, much to the amusement of bystanders.

1: You know that new guy, Ricky?

2: Good call.

Lovefriend 

A gender-neutral term that refers to a romantic relationship between two people, akin to a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship. The word removes the emphasis on gender and replaces it with an emphasis on love. The term is versatile and can be used by various sexuality identities (eg. heterosexuals, homosexuals, pansexuals, etc.) and gender identities (non-binary, transgender, genderqueer, etc.). Originated from R.A. Sheik.

I would like to introduce you to my lovefriend.

I would like to eventually find a lovefriend, someone I can share my life with and love.

This is my lovefriend, we have been dating for a year and it's been amazing so far.

Long Lost Friend

This comes from a 2022 tweet and now copypasta “Timothee Chalamet, it seems l've grown quite fond of you, tho there are no sexual urges or desires, you come to me as a long lost friend whom I once picked apples with in papa's orchard.”

The phrase refers to a sense of deep, knowing connection despite not actually knowing the person. Because of this, some young LGBTQ+ people have started using the phrase “you come to me like a long lost friend” as a euphemism for recognizing someone may be queer. Similar, but maybe less dated, version of “Friend of Dorothy.”

Person 1: “You come to me like a long lost friend.”
Person 2: “Bitch— just say gay.”
