Indirect Dating

Indirect dating is a form of romantic connection that may appear to others as a friendship. The mutual attraction likely isn’t acknowledged, each party probably has a suspicion the other is attracted to them. There’s no direct affection shown as in Direct Dating, such as public display of affection, a physical intimacy, etc.

Bob and Mary have been indirect dating (definition: not actually dating) for like 6 months man, I’m pretty sure they’re into each other and are a little flirty but they’re def not banging.
