TEXTLATIONSHIP (Dating Term)

What Does Textlationship Mean in a Text?

Textlationship means "A Relationship Based Only On Digital Contact."

A textlationship is a romantic or platonic relationship that exists primarily or solely through text messaging, rather than in-person interactions or phone calls.

In a textlationship, people communicate frequently through messaging apps, social media, or texting platforms. A textlationship may begin with online dating or through social media, and the individuals involved may not have met in person yet.

Textlationships can be convenient and offer a sense of intimacy, but they can also have drawbacks, such as miscommunication or a lack of emotional depth due to the absence of in-person interactions. It is essential to establish clear expectations and communication boundaries in a textlationship to ensure that both parties feel respected and fulfilled.
