The sort of love that is destructable and unsustainable, a love that is bound to shrink to nothingness no matter the strength because the pain is just too much to bear.
Girl #1: OMG! Look at Eddy & Ana! They are so cute together... They must be soulmates...
Girl #2: No, it's more like a skinny love when it comes to them.

when two people like each other a lot, but have no chance of being together. This is because there is nothing that can connect these two people, and they are too shy to talk about that topic/ to talk to each other at all.
Those two have been crushing on each other for a really long time. Nothing will ever happen because there's only skinny love between them.

The definition of Skinny love is either
1) A relationship that is weak, and probably won't last.
2) Two people who are in love but are too scared to admit it, even though they show it.
1) Karli: Do you think Kayla and Konner's relationship will last?
Megan: No, they have skinny love...it's won't last.
2) Layla: So how are you and Rachel?
Dillan: We still have Skinny Love, but I hope it'll escalate.

2 people in love who are too shy to say it.
Aww they're in love aren't they? How long will it stay skinny love before someone has the courage to say it?

a bit different to the typical definition of skinny love but still a similar construct.
When a relationship that was once filled with love and laughter ends due to no one's fault. The two involved still have immense love for one another, and care so deeply (usually one more than the other but not always). They still keep each other in their lives platonically, but when people see them out together no one would guess they broke up by the way they interact with one another and look at each other. They pretend they are over each other, and the romantic love is gone but they both know that's not true. The friendship always ends tho, in one of two ways. most commonly they go down their separate paths after trying so hard to keep their friendship, or the more unlikely, one of the two is brave enough to fight for their relationship, however, no one is usually brave enough and it ends.
friend: I want what you and Griffin have, the way you guys look at each other is everything
me: Actually Griffin and I broke up about a month ago
friend: WHAT?? what happened?? are you okay?? I saw you guys together yesterday! I saw the way you looked at each other. Theres no way.
me: no... I'm not okay, but we will be. we still love and care for each other.. it just wasn't working between us... so we broke up.. we are friends.. but its a kind of skinny love now.
friend: oh, be careful, I heard those never work well.
me: I know... but he's worth it.
When two people like each other but are to afraid to admit it but show it anyway
