Pre-friend

The relationship between two individuals past acquaintanceship, but not quite at the level of friendship yet.

It can be used to describe a coworker or classmate with whom you wouldn't really spend a whole day alone with; but are familiar enough to wave at in a mall.

Brandon and John see each other every day, but they hardly spend time together one-on-one! Nato calls them "pre-friends".

Prefriend

Hybrid of "Pretend" and "Befriend"

When one is walking by them selves and lonely, To prefriend is to walk close enough to a group of people so that passers by assume you are with the group, but not so close as to make the group think you are following them.

Note: If one actually believes that they are with the group, they are not "Prefriending", they are just Delusional.

Usages:
To "Prefriend" to be with someone,
Or
One can be "Prefriending" to be with someone.

Person 1: "Hey look at Pete, I didn't know he was friends with the Jocks"
Person 2: "What?...Nah he's not, He's just "Prefriending" to be with them"
Person 1: "Pfft, What a loser"

Prefriend

An aspect of social networking, where a person friends someone they no positive social connection with, for the sake of boosting their friend count, and perceived social status.

Jonas prefriended me on Facebook last week. We each thing the other guy is an asshole, but I prefriended him back to push me over 500 friends.

Ultra-popular Kim: Heather, why did you friend Jill last week, she's such a loser?
Just-as-popular Heather: Because she worships me just like my other 1200 friends on Facebook, confirming my popularity and ensuring I'll win the vote for Homecoming Queen.

Heather grows up to become the skanky trophy wife of a used-car salesman. Jill grows up to be a lawyer and makes partner at a major law firm.

prefriender 

A person who is occupied by pretending and/or helping for the greater good of humanity.

1. I was doing the job of the prefrienders for a couple months because that's what my dream job is.

2. Do to the experience of being a prefriender some street droolys wanted to be my real friend and decided they would follow me, track my phone and pretty much know where I was constantly.

2. I truly love all prefrienders; I just need a little time to adjust to a new way of life and find a temporary solution to the real problem that no one is talking about.

3. I can't help but hope to be real friends with the real prefrienders some day.

4. Until then please be gentle prefrienders, I'll be in a fragile state until I can 'get back in the swing of things'.

5. All prefrienders are good people; even if they pretend to be scum of the earth.
