Thinging

n. \ˈthiŋiŋ\ - In a relationship, the intersection between being a "thing" and just being a "fling". A not-so-serious level of dating, that is still more serious than a one-night-stand or a quick relationship. Usually, it occurs when good friends become something more.

"Is Kayla dating that guy now? I thought they were just friends..."
"No, they aren't dating, they are just thinging now."
