Flip-book relationship

The state in which one finds themselves when they begin to have so many one-night-stands or fuck buddies that that these individuals merge into one to resemble a relationship- devoid of real emotion. This is either an intentional way of life (and all power to you if it is) or adversely extremely detrimental to ones self-esteem and perhaps a barrier between you and someone who wants to be with you because, consciously or subconsciously, you define yourself as 'taken'.

So'n'so: Why can't I meet some nice?

Other so'n'so: Because you're in a flip-book relationship
