Urkelship

Urkelship is defined as a relationship between two entities that is accepted by one entity and rejected by the other entity.

This word originates from the American sitcom Family Matters. A character, Steve Urkel was relentless when asking Laura Winslow to go out on dates, be his boyfriend, etc.... He would get rejected every time yet he would keep trying.

Example #1: I call her everyday, but she never calls back. I am in an urkelship.

Example #2: I couldn't get into Canada again. They told me "Canada was closed." Canada and I are in an urkelship.
