Plutonic Relationship 

A romantic gray area where you’re more than friends but not officially dating. Named after Pluto’s “almost a planet” status — close enough to count, but never quite official.

First coined by author Deepti Jethani in 2025.
We hang out every weekend, text all day, and even met each other’s families, but he says we’re not dating. I guess we’re in a Plutonic Relationship.
