friendationship

the state of a relationship wherein the two people are clearly "more than friends" but won't admit or don't know if they are a "couple" or not

I created this word about five years ago by merging the words "friend" and "relationship." There are so many relationships that seem undefinable, and this word suits them well.

Bill and Sara claim that they're not dating, but they spend every waking moment together; so I'm starting to wonder if they are in a friendationship.

Friendlationship

Friendlationship(n) is a combination of the words 'friends' and 'relationship', used to describe a somewhat-platonic relationship that contains all the aspects of an actual romantic relationship, without any physical/sexual benefits. Basically, all the sacrifice but none of the gain. Often occurs when both people involved harbor some desire for the other, but neither is willing to take a chance and potentially ruin their friendship.

Guy 1: So is Jake hanging out with us tonight?
Guy 2: No man, he's hanging out with Vanessa again.

Guy 1: Man he's so whipped. What an idiot.
Guy 2: He needs to get out of that fucking friendlationship.

Frienlationship

A friendship with someone who is thousands of miles away, but you talk to more than your actual boyfriend/girlfriend. you have talked so much you know this person better than your own family members. Both people in the frienlationship have agreed that you're perfect for each other and wish that you can somehow make a relationship out of what you already have laid groundwork for.

guy 1: Hey man, whats up with you and that chick from Pennsylvania? You're constantly on the phone with her.
guy 2: i don't know man, we've got ourselves tied up in a frienlationship. I'm thinking about breaking up with the old lady for her.

Frielationship

Friends with Benefits except with a more emotional meaning. When two people are very close friends and act like their in a relationship but do not label each other as "boyfriend and girlfriend".

friend: so are you guys official then?
you: no, we don't want to be in a relationship because we're scared of ruining the friendship. Its more than friends with benefits, we have more of an emotional investment for each other. Like a friendship/relationship.
friend: a Frielationship.

Frielationship

When a friendship is just to hard to resist each other, but a relationship is too much for one of the couple.
Then a frielationship allows this grey zone to exist, until further outcomes become clearer however the fun and the chilling is allowed to continue.
A frielationship is still not to be mis-used!

Grant has strong feelings for Monique.
Monique has feelings too, but is not sure what she wants in her life right now.

Grant is hopeless at keeping to the rules of a friendship and Monique isnt ready for a relationship.

Never fear!!!

A Frielationship is now here!!!!
