Spending an inordinate amount of time viewing page after page of an item, say shoes, on multiple websites.
I was Windows shopping for almost 3 hours this morning....I looked at almost 4000 pairs of shoes and didn't buy shit.

Creating an account on a shopping website solely to add items to your wish list, with no intention of actually buying anything.
Person 1: Did you make an account on forever21.com?
Person 2: Nah. I'd only use it for Windows shopping anyway.

When one visits a store or mall to admire goods rather than to purchase them. The 'shopper' seems to be looking so intently at the glass in storefront windows that he appears to want to buy the window itself, hence 'window shopping'.
"You seem to be really interested in that sweater. Do you plan on getting it?"
"No, I'm just window shopping."
"No, I'm just window shopping."

When a person goes to online websites like eBay or Amazon.com to look at things they have no intention of purchasing. The electronic form of window shopping.
Jane went on eBay to look at expensive diamond earrings that she would never be able to afford, so she was Windows shopping.

When a man or woman in a relationship flirts with someone else, with no intention of taking it any further than that. It's like looking at a brand new 50" HDTV without the intention of buying it, even though it's still nice to imagine having sex with it.
