Digital Romance

A relationship that primarily takes place online with little to no physical or in person contact.

Typically takes place solely over the phone and includes romantic texts, talking about being together, and soon saying I love you, as well as starting a relationship with someone, all without actually meeting the person behind the screen.
Hey, did you ever text back that guy who dm’ed you?
-Nah, I’m not looking for a digital romance, I want something real.

Romance and Friend-Dance

When you’re really attracted to your friend but not compatible to date, the middle ground between the one-night stand and the true love-making aka “ride-and-bride”is known as a “romance and friend-dance”.

(resubmission of accidental removal)
I don’t think it’s a good idea we date, so what do you say we just “romance and friend-dance” instead at my place?
