That part of when you're dating someone and you're basically behaving as if you're already in a relationship but no one has really said or agreed about anything. Can be polyamorous or monogamous.
"We were just, like, dating, and then we were being like, boyfriend-girlfriend about it like we were in a datelationship? But now we're in a relationship for reals."
Similar to a staycation, a datecation is when you stay home and just "chill and watch Netflix" or lounge around with your significant other and relax instead of going out.
Daniel and Taryn didn't feel like going to a restaurant for a traditional date because they were tired of going out. They just wanted to spend some time together and relax, so they went over to his house for a datecation.
When you go on a short trip with someone that doesn’t live near you and act like you’re in relationship and have lots of sex, but you go home to your separate cities and keep it casual
I went on a datecation with that guy and I’m good with him for a while. He’s good for a datecation, but I could never date him.
