Almost ex

Someone you never officially dated but had a relationship with.

Shit!!! My almost ex just walked into the bar.

Ex-Almost: Someone who called you baby and were cute with you around your friends — but then there’s the fact that nothing ever followed through. This is what enables us to feel so torn in admitting that no, you didn’t date, but you still kinda feel like you ought to call them your ex.

"Who's that?"
"My ex-almost, we hooked up every week for a month but nothing went past that"
