not-dating

A close friend that you are essentially dating but will freak out when the word "dating" is referred to.

This term applies even if the two people both have feelings for each other, and both know it.

One or more of them is uncomfortable about using the word "dating".

Instead all of the synonyms are used instead. terms like: seeing you, going out, getting together, enjoy your company, hang out with, go out to dinner, walk the dog, together.

The other person will NEVER admit to you that you two are in fact dating. Not even after months or years.

Bob and Debbie have been not-dating for three years.

Every one they know thinks they are couple and a good match. But they are just not-dating.

Bob and Debbie usually not-date several weekends and evenings a month.
