friends with benefits
We have a lot of terms for this depending on how close you are in the relationship.
For a relationship that is purely platonic, but you are really close to this person and you feel a special bond, you can say one of the following usually "QP/ queerplatonic / zucchini / soulmate / best friend / you have a special bond."
For a relationship that is a friendship, but sometimes you get flirty or sometimes you may cuddle, you can use any of the words I already stated, or you can specifically say that you are " in a flirtmance / cuddle buddies." It depends on the situation.
For a relationship that is friendly but you are sexual or intimate with this person, you would call it "friends with benefits."
友情によっていろんな言い方があります。
純粋な友情の場合は"QP/ queerplatonic / zucchini / soulmate / best friend / you have a special bond."を使います。
友人だがふざけていちゃつく仲は " in a flirtmance / cuddle buddies."と言いますが場面によって変わってきます。
性的な関係を持つ場合は"friends with benefits."です。
Someone who is a friend but not exactly a lover but with some mutually romantic intentions is a difficult category to name! It is not a 'full on' relationship but it has crossed the 'friend' boundary. People may just say that "They have a bit of a thing going," or that they "..mess about a bit."
"To have a thing" = to have a liaison, an amour, a flirtation, even an affair or a relationship. It's the same as "there's something going on between them."
"To mess about/around" =to engage in sexual activity; "fool around".
Though the term is vague, it usually implies something more than kissing.
"We were messing around in his car when a security guard knocked on the window."
A 'friend with benefits' is a friend you have sex with but with no commitments - so if you don't exactly have sex together, it seems the benefits are reduced?
恋人ではありませんが、お互いにロマンチックな関係の友人をカテゴリー化するのは難しいですね。
「完全な」恋人関係ではありませんが、友達の境界線は超えています。
人々は、以下のように言うかもしれません。
They have a bit of a thing going,
彼はちょっと何か進行中。
..mess about a bit.
少し性的な関係がある
【解説】
To have a thing
=関わり、恋愛、浮気、不倫がある。
「here's something going on between them.(何かが起こっている)」と言うことと同様です。
To mess about/around
=性的な活動を行う、性的関係をもつ
"fool around"と同じような意味です。
用語が曖昧ですが、キス以上の何かを示します。
We were messing around in his car when a security guard knocked on the window.
車の中でイチャイチャしていたら警備員が窓をノックした。
「friend with benefits」とは、正式な恋人同士ではないけれどセックスをする友達です。
もし、セックスをしないのであれば、「benefits(特典)」とは言わないでしょう。
