A friend of a friend, that you have met, and are on friendly terms with. You do not maintain a friendship with them, but know them. Both parties wish not to do damage to your relation with a close acquaintance, as that damage would reflect on individual relationships with your mutual friend. But due to any number of reasons, such as differences in interests or schedules, you cannot truly become friends with them. Not someone you would seek company of, nor particularly enjoy, but respect and appreciate the bond that they share with your friend.
I know Bob, he's a close acquaintance of mine. Met him at Fred's birthday party. They're both into some nerd stuff that I just can't get, so it's nice that Fred has Bob to bounce that crap off of.

The act of, after being (re)introduced to a person of former/new acquaintance, maintaining a tie via text, phone, etc in the event something more could come of the (re)introduction; such as friendship, sex, love, etc
Oh, I knew of Bob in high school, and I had a chance to get to know him a little at the 10 year high school reunion. I really like him. He was my best friends brother's best friend! Too bad we live in different states. Looks like I'm going to have to do some "acquaintance maintenance" to see what comes of this!
