A person who you are only planning to date for some specific purpose, I.e. to make someone else jealous, then you will ditch them when you no longer have a use for them. The term comes from people who purchase big, expensive televisions from Best Buy before their Superbowl parties, then return the televisions and get their money back.
John kept wanting to meet Luanne at the restaurant where his ex worked, making her wonder if he was just Best Buy dating her.

Get the network date mug.Indirect dating is a form of romantic connection that may appear to others as a friendship. The mutual attraction likely isn’t acknowledged, each party probably has a suspicion the other is attracted to them. There’s no direct affection shown as in Direct Dating, such as public display of affection, a physical intimacy, etc.
Bob and Mary have been indirect dating (definition: not actually dating) for like 6 months man, I’m pretty sure they’re into each other and are a little flirty but they’re def not banging.
