Curve (or curving) is a term used in dating to refer to the practice of ending a relationship in a way that leaves the other party unsure of your intentions. Unlike a ghost, a curver will occasionally respond to messages, but will not commit to a date or to any other plans. The curver usually lacks the courage to end the relationship and hopes that the other party will take the hint and accept the inevitable.
