prelationship 

The stage between casual flirting and a full blow relationship. Both people are obviously interested in each other.

Yeah, I saw her again at the party last night. I think our prelationship is really flourishing.

Little did I know, she was already in a happy prelationship.

prelationship 

usually for two people who each just got out of a serious relationship with other people, but find themselves liking each other fairly intensely not soon after. this is, however, not a 'rebound relationship' and is recognized by both parties.

it is, most literally put, two people liking each other, going on dates and generally enjoying each other's company romantically before putting any sort of classic label on it.

ben and lorraine just broke up, and so did brian and judy. judy and ben run into each other and start really liking each other. neither of them are quite ready to just the usual hoops (updating facebook status', etc) but are both mutually 'involved' with each other, and share a lot of mutual respect. therefore, they are in a 'prelationship'.

relationship test

1) n. A secret task or condition you place on a person who you've just started dating to evaluate whether or not that person is relationship material.

2) n. A detrimental, often self-destructive lie of great significance told to expose the true character of one's partner. This is often done (ironically) in efforts to overcome one's own fear of commitment or to sabotage the relationship. (See mind fuck.)

3) n. The date during which one introduces one's partner to one's family for purposes of evaluating the long term viability of the relationship.

When Matt goes on a first date with a chick, he opens her car door first and then walks around back. If she doesn't reach over and unlock his door, she fails the relationship test 'cause she's probably a selfish cunt.

Whenever Claire needs to figure out if she wants to continue seeing some guy, she breaks out the, "I'm biologically male" relationship test. Then she sits back and watches the sparks fly.

Brønsted Relationship 

Describes the correlation between degree of attraction and relationship kinetics. When used to describe a precise period within a relationship it indicates the "friends with benefits" zone; when log (attraction) is proportional to log (rate of relationship progression). Unfortunately no Bronsted Relationship lasts forever, hence the "ø." Eventually the linear correlation breaks down when the mechanism of attraction changes as the relationship matures. Also at very high degrees of attraction, the rate may become saturated and become a zero order process. As in both parties are focusing on zero considerations apart from physical intimacy.

Human 1: "Dude; Jack and Rose are all over each other!"
Human 2: "Yea it's still a Brønsted Relationship."
Human 1: "Well it's a bummer cause Jack never comes over to watch football or make creme brulee anymore."
Human 2: "Don't worry, in a few months they'll be over it."

I'm not ready for a relationship 

Translation: You are annoying and our interactions need to end immediately.

Uttered when a person realizes a dating partner is not worth it/crazy. A form of "it's not you, it's me." A lie to quickly end things without hurting the other person's feelings. Often has the opposite effect as the other party may engage in manipulative techniques to avoid a break up. Smooth as butter when it works.

Scenario 1
Person A: Hey I know we've been seeing each other for a while but after a lot of thinking, I'm not ready for a relationship.

Person 2: Oh I see. Well I guess I'll see you around. Thanks for letting me know.

Scenario 2
Person A: Hey I know we've been seeing each other for a while but after a lot of thinking, I'm not ready for a relationship.

Person B: What do you mean? *Insert 3 hours of bs*

Person A: I'm sorry I can't talk about this anymore. *Blocks person B*

quasiplatonic relationship 

A term for people who are in a relationship that exceeds society's boundaries for friendships, but do not experience romantic attraction for the other. Also known as a queerplatonic relationship or QPR. Often replaces queerplatonic relationship as people in QPRs are not necessarily queer and the term queerplatonic relationship may cause confusion.
Partners in QPRs are often known as a zucchini, a term that began as an inside joke in the asexual and aromantic community.

Person 1: I'm really confused. I like you a lot, more than a friend should, but it's not in a romantic way.

Person 2: I feel the same way. I heard about a thing called a quasiplatonic relationship, and I think that would make sense for us. Would you like to be my QP partner?
Person 1: Yes please
