A Grey Area
A situation where two people are flirting like crazy but won't admit it, like a dog chasing a cat but being too scared to bite.
She’s been giving me the eye all week. We’re in a grey area, and I’m not sure if I want to break it or keep it.
They’re in a grey area. They’re talking to each other like they’re on a date, but they’re still friends.
My coworker is in a grey area with me. I think she wants to kiss me, but she doesn’t want to lose her job.
