"acquaintance" is such a complicated word. the dictionary says "a person one knows slightly, but not as a close friend"
that definition does not even begin to explain what an acquaintance is.
and acquaintance can be the example given by the dictionary. it can also be a person that you will not accept friendship from. it can be someone that you know almost everything about, yet you deny friendship of the said person. it can be a friend who you don't see that much, or don't feel close to. to be an "acquaintance" means much more than to not be friends. acquaintance can not really be defined in a few words, its just that type of thing that takes a laid out explanation rather than a definition. an acquaintance can range from anywhere between love and hate, and that doesn't mean it can't be either of the two. it could even be both at the same time.
an acquaintance can be many things
and i could go on and on about it, but i feel like i should stop here

and let you ponder
Greg and Lilly aren't quite friends, yet they know so much about each other, and have so much in common. They aren't enemies either, even though they fight all the time, and often piss each other off. I guess you'd call them acquaintances.

When two people know each other through a mutual friend but do not have their own exclusive friendship.

Friendship may be facebook official, but one friend wishes that he had never accepted that friend request and is too honorable of a man to block the other.
Amy Kelly added Reggie Coval on facebook. Reggie could not understand this gesture due to the fact that they are only acquaintances. Luckily for Amy, Reggie is such a gentleman that he will not block her.

Acquaintance;
That one person you just say hi to in the hallways or in the bathroom. But that don’t mean you’re besties or you wanna have a sleep over with them. And if someone says you’re nothing more than an acquaintance than it means they want you to stay the fuck away from them bitch. Your pride may hurt but you gotta get over it and take what they said and leave the person alone.
“Bitch get the fuck away from me! Iont wanna be your friend can’t you get that through your thick ass head? We’re nothing more than Acquaintances point blank.”
