Friend Dating 

When to people are dating and the male doesn't make very many flirty moves during the date (ie: holding hands, excessive compliments) because he is unaware of the females intentions. It's like dating but in a nonserious way. It's a terrible limbo, stuck between the dating and friend zone. People stuck here are trapped and have no clear guidance on how to act around the female, everyday they hope for the sweet release of "oh i just like you as a friend" or "lets make this more serious." But it never comes.....

Male: I like you. It's cool we've been going out so much.
Female: I didn't know that. I thought we were Friend Dating. You never flirt with me.
Male: I just tried to kiss you and told you I liked you... are you serious?

Casual Friend Dating 

You're going through the motions of dating but you're not, and it's kind of a tease, but you're okay with it. It's not friends with benefits though.

Random Stranger: "So are you guys dating yet?"
Friends 1 & 2: "No, we're not."
Friend 3: "Casual Friend Dating."

Friendating 

When two people are basically dating, but they still call themselves "friends" because they haven't made out. Friendating activities include; going places together, talking to or texting each other daily, getting each other gifts, being there to comfort each other, etc. - basically anything friends would do except there are romantic feelings behind all of it that have yet to be physically expressed. Friendating is done exclusively between two people who dial back on time spent with traditional friends to make more time to be with the person they are friendating.

Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello have been friendating so long that they might as well make it official and be a real couple.
