A romantic relationship based in the present time between two people who choose to enjoy and love each other, without looking back at past relationships and without allowing baggage to cloud the enjoyment of the here and now relationship. The here and now relationship excludes future marriage proposals, excludes long-term expectations and excludes mutual goal planning as a couple. The here and now relationship is accepting of each other, is committed but the couple chooses to keep focused on today, not the past and not the future. The here and now relationship has the freedom to evolve into a permanent relationship if the couple chooses and the opposite is true, it has a downside potential risk of one person wanting more and chooses to terminate that relationship.
1. The woman at the party asked me if we were thinking of marriage, I told her we have a “here and now relationship”
2. A couple who accept their obligations may prohibit them from developing a permanent relationship as in one person moves to east coast and the other stays on the west coast, they are happy to engage in a “here and now relationship” until the obligation surfaces.
3. My mate is uncertain if I am the one for him. We both love each other and enjoy being together. I am accepting of a “here and now relationship” but he is at risk of losing me if I decide I want more.

Get the May-October relationship mug.The non-exclusive relationship between two people where the concept of "no strings attached" is modified. Unlike the terms "friends with benefits" or "hook up buddies", Relationfriends involves the idea that two people consider themselves friends, but have all the benefits of a relationship.
Sexual activity is allowed, along with such things that are usually only found in a relationship (i.e. cuddling, going out on dates together, attending a social event together)
The second portion of "relationfriends" comes into play where it is more than acceptable for the two parties to engage in behavior that would be found in a plutonic (non sexual) friendship. It is proposed that this helps keep the balance in the friendship, so as to not get to attached through the use of seeing one another merely as friends occasionally.
Lastly, relationfriends should consider signing a notarized contract to secure the agreement and proper behavior of the ordeal. If one of the parties is found to be in breach of the contract (asking to be exclusive), the ordeal may be cancelled immediately by the other party for legal obligation if they so choose.
A common acronym to describe this binding agreement is: N.E.R.F. (Non-Exclusive RelationFriends)

Get the Relationfriends mug.When two people meet eyes over and over again every day for an extended period of time, but they never say anything to one or another or discuss their feelings and desires. They are taking part in a silent relationship.
'Hot and shallow-acting football player' is sitting diagonally from 'pretty and down-to-earth dancer' in Chemistry class. Each time he casually glances at her, she feels his eyes scanning her's and looks up to meet him. They hold their gaze for as long as they can bare, then look away dramatically before anyone else can notice their silent relationship.
Outsider: Why don't you just talk to Him?
Silent Participant: If He likes me, he'll talk to me first. The guy is supposed to do the initiating, right?
Outsider: Um, not always. He's probably scared of you. You are a beautiful girl you know?
Silent Participant: Well, I'll just wait and see what happens...
(Nothing ever happens)
Outsider: You should've spoken to him before when you had the chance, dummy!
Silent Participant: I know, but I was scared. Now I'm going to go listen to Adele's "Someone Like You" and cry myself to sleep. Goodnight.
