Fauxlationship

A relationship that isn't a "real" relationship (i.e. "We're going out. You are my --- and I am your ---"), but attempts to carry on as one, albeit half-heartedly, despite this fact.

Note: this is not the same as people who define their relationship as an "open relationship", as fauxlationships lack sturdy titles of any sort.

This is similar to FWB, except that the "couple" pretends to be more exclusive than they actually are. They may go on "fauxdates" with each other (like a romantic outing to McDonalds). They don't want to commit actual time and money to go on real DATE dates, but they want to occasionally pretend to do so (usually for the sake of one partner's feelings). They might entertain the idea of being in a real relationship with one another, but the idea never comes to fruition.

Fauxlationships almost always carry on for much longer than they need to, and frequently lead to messy "faux-breakups" (wherein it feels like a break up, but they shouldn't be so upset, because they were never actually dating in the first place).
She and I have a lot in common. We go to the same school, we like the same band, we have a class together. We hang out at each other's houses, and we occasionally have sex. I want to date her, but she doesn't LIKE like me, and doesn't want to get tied down. We'll rent movies sometimes, but she doesn't want to go out in public with me in case anybody thinks we're actually going out. I would complain about our fauxlationship, but at least it's sort of like having quality time with her.

fauxtivational speaker

1. A person who writes, posts, or otherwise speaks stupid cliches in order to assist someone with their personal short comings.
2. Someone who is as fake as they come, who tries to evoke motivation.
Bob: Hey my girl just broke up with me.

Mr Helpful: Don't worry bro there are plenty of fish in the sea. If you love someone set them free, if they come back they're yours to keep. You cant count all your eggs before they hatch. It will happen when you least expect it.

Bob: Thanks but I don't need another fauxtivational speaker man.

Fauxlationship

A temporary relationship to relieve emptiness caused by the lack of a real relationship. Also used to describe relationships with no commitment. Not a very responsible idea.
I don't trust her man, it looks like a fauxlationship to me.

fauxcation line

When a guy tells a girl that he's taking the summer off from working with some company, when he is actually unemployed.
Duder 1: "What did you tell that fine bitch at the club last night?"

Duder 2: "Oh dude I told her I was taking the summer off from MS."

Duder 1: "Wow dude, you gave her the old fauxcation line? Damn, you better hope she doesn't find out your ass in unemployed and broke son!"
