show-mance 

Based on the term "Romance". It is fundamentaly based on the act of using the opposite sex, without any sexual relations. Flirting is a great way to keep a show-mance without the actual act of fornification. Can be used to decribe the act of "show-mancing" or the actual person "the show-mance".

Dude, I'm going to show-mance that chick to buy me drinks all night.

Dude, I'll intro you to the show-mance tonight. She's a real douche.

Snowmance

The brief but intense relationship formed between strangers undertaking similar acts in the snow. This could encompass the respectful nod between two people Suicycling, talking to neighbours you have never spoken to as you shovel driveways, or asking the man beside you if he wants to grab a beer after pushing a stranded motorist's vehicle. Most snowmantic relationships are fleeting.

I got three hugs off separate strangers today. Snowmance is in the air.

showmance 

When actors engage in a romance for the run of a show.
Once the run is over so is the romance.
The term originated in the theater and moved to movies and scripted television and then reality television.
The term has now moved to the populace to discribe any contrived romance.

Dude 1: I didn't know Anthony and Cicely were dating.
Dude 2: It's just a showmance, Cicely is just dating Anthony just to make Edgar jealous.

Dude 1: I didn't know Anthony and Cicely were dating.
Dude 2: They're not. It's just a showmance, Anthony is gay.

slowmance 

(1) a romantic relationship that progresses slowly, either by design or naturally;
(2) a relationship in which both parties have already determined each other desirable, and see each other often, however the natural progression towards more serious discussion and physical expression is retarded;
(3) a slow romance

(1) It's been a month and Jack still hasn't spent the night with that girl he's dating -- it's a slowmance.
(2) So she eagerly invited me back to her place, but then kicked me out a little while later. That’s cool though, I’m okay with it being a slowmance.

Snowmance

A love affair or similar amorous relationship that is created, or amplified and intensified, when two people are brought together or confined together by copious amounts snow. The acceleration and strengthening of such a romantic relationship when two lovers are afforded the luxury of more time together as a result of being snowbound.

They began their snowmance when the Blizzard of 2010 granted them more time to spend together than their normal daily lives allowed.
