Mauve is a feeling of intense "like" that is more than merely crushing on someone, but less than actually "loving them". Someone often mauves someone they really care about but havn't known long enough to be comfortable saying "I love you" to.
I mauve you

Those two are deeply in mauve

mauve is a synonym for cool, except that it is much, much cooler than cool. In fact, it is the coolest possible synonym for cool. Ever.

Really, the only word to describe mauve IS mauve.
Damn. that girl is MAUVE!

To be a cry baby or to whine all the time. Boring and shallow

Mauve is when you are in a very comfortable atmosphere. You're experiencing nice deep breaths. You're with chill people. Or maybe even by yourself, chill nostalgic music, or maybe just the hum of the night.. very safe, satisfied, and comfortable, kind of like if you've taken a Xanax, but without the Xanax. And, of course, the mood lighting is just right. A candle, floor lights, and back lights of pink, amber, and orange, which gives off this mauve color in the air— you just melt right into it.
The ambience at this get together is so mauve.

Q: How’s your mood today?

A: Feeling very mauve.
