When you've been engaging in sexual activity with another person for 2 to 5 months monogamously, but then the relationship abruptly ends. This is before you are officially dating and refer to said other person as a boyfriend or girlfriend. Toward the end of the experience, you begin to question whether you will end up with this person until you realize that a more likely outcome is that you will never see them again.
I'm still looking for love Nico. All I've had are a couple micro-relationships since I moved here, but nothing serious yet.

“sense of being incidentally related on a very small scale,” specifically of interpersonal connections which develop in bustling metropolitan areas, as a result of frequent exposure to any individual with whom you have no other overt association, including but not limited to mutual friends, professional overlap or residential proximity. A stranger who happens to appear in your sphere of experience on a regular basis and with whom it becomes necessary for you to interact.
yeah i've had a micro-relationship with the cute coffee guy who grinds the coffee at the corner store for years complete with break ups, sex (with our eyes) and make ups though we never say a word that isn't about coffee

because we have a micro-relationship the bus driver always gives me an extra few to find a seat before he puts the pedal to the metal.
