Exclusively Not Dating

The period of a relationship between "just friends" and "dating". In this phase both people haven't made the commitment for an official relationship, but each would be upset if the other got involved with someone else.

He took his relationship status off of Facebook. He must be exclusively not dating.

drunk dating

A reoccuring but unspoken relationship, generally a hook-up, that only occurs after both parties are well past tipsy.

I've been hooking up with this guy the past few weekends, but he doesn't seem to acknowledge it when he's sober. I guess we're drunk dating.

pre-dating

The awkward stage of a relationship where the two individuals are spending a lot of time together but have not actually admitted that they are dating.

It is not necessarily a desirable state to be in.

Can also be used to describe two friends of the opposite sex who spend all their time together but who are not actually dating but may as well be. Should not be confused with friends with benefits.

Sandra: So are you and John together?
Jane: No, we're pre-dating at best.
Sandra: Oh...bummer.

Dara: What's up with Laura and Ed?
Anita: Oh, they're pre-dating.
