When a girl and a boy or girl and girl or boy and boy start liking each other and they start texting. (This usually only happens in middle or elementary school the two will text for hours and hours. Once they see each other in school the most they will ever do is make eye contact. That’s it. After a couple of days of texting they might plan to go out on a date. They will offen bring a friend or two with them or they will call it a “double date”.

text message relationship 

1) Being in a relationship where one or both parties prefer text messaging over talking on the phone or in person, unsurprisingly causing 99% of their problems, as at least one person in the relationship is too stupid to understand that text messages arrive/send out of order if at all.

2) A relationship that doesn't go very far; one so short or shallowly lived it can be replayed with little difficulty over text messaging. A final summation used to describe a waste of time.

Usually results in a text message breakup.

Word of the Day on October 28, 2026
A lighthearted reaction upon receiving disappointing news of some sort. Usually something that isn't a particularly a big deal, esp. when it primarily affects someone else - sort of a mild schadenfreude. Sometimes doubled or tripled, and possibly said in a sing-songy voice for added comedic effect to imitate a muted trumpet, which is how the meme originated.
