Shame dating

Two people who hang out and have sex, but never go out in public together. Either because they don’t want to be seen together, or the relationship is just about sex.
A glorified ‘fuck buddy’. The two may talk about taking things in the direction of actual dating, but never do.

Jordan: Hey aren’t you and Ryan going for dinner tonight? You’ve been hanging out for ages!

Alice: we’ve spoken about it, but I think he just wants me to go to his place wearing lingerie so he can tie me to his bed.

Jordan: Oh really? You guys are definitely shame dating.

Alice: Yep! 🤷🏻 ♂️
