Part of Speech: Adverb / Slang
Definition: A vague, noncommittal way to describe spending time with someone, especially in a low-stakes dating or flirty context. Combines perhaps and casually. Can refer to a low-effort hang—like grabbing coffee, going on a walk, or sitting on the same couch “just watching something”—where the vibe is intentionally undefined. It's not a date, but also… maybe?
Used when: You’re not trying to DTR (Define The Relationship). Could be friends, could be more. Definitely not a big deal—just perhapsual
