romantic ambiguity

This romantic ambiguity is often reflected in conversations with people who are single.

When asked to define their romantic status, they give answers like, "Well, it's sort of up in the air ..." and "It's really complicated!" and "How much time do you have?" and "I would define it as, hmm, dating? Ish? Dating-ish?"

Intentional Ambiguity 

A process that occurs within a relationship (especially a romantic one) in which someone intentionally commits conflicting actions to make the other person unsure of what the relationship actually is. The point of intentional ambiguity is to keep the other person in relationship purgatory, to lure them in with the possibility of a relationship without making any actual commitments. Intentional ambiguity is when a girl texts you every day for a week straight, then suddenly ghosts you only to text you again a week later asking you for something.
Chloe has been dating 5 different guys on and off for the past year, but hasn't committed to any of them, Chloe has mastered intentional ambiguity.

Textual Ambiguity 

This term refers to the misinterpretations, misread emotions, inaccurate texter to textee translations, and overall miscommunications that result from the limitations of conversations via texting.
"I was telling her how much fun I had last night, but she thought I was being sarcastic. She totally misread what I was texting. Must have been the textual ambiguity."

Script Example:

Her- "like omg I had so much fun with u last night :) Did u like the play?"
Him - "yeh it was great"
Her - "are you sure? I know u wanted to go to the game with your friends..."
Him - "no its ok, I had fun with u"
Her - "It doesn't seem like u had fun."
Him - "why do u say that?"
Her - "You just don't sound like u had fun."
Him -"what? how? I literally said the play was great and that I had fun with you"
Her - "yeah but I can tell u didn't mean it"
Him - "yes I did, what are u talkin about?"
Her - "See and now ur annoyed."
Him - "NO I'M NOT!"
Her - "Don't yell at me! Next time u can go to the stupid game and I'll go to the play alone."
Him - .... (dafuq?)
