Tancend
The relationship to describe a person who you identify as not quite a friend, but not an acquaintance either. Someone who falls between being an acquaintance (not knowing them very well at all) and a friend (knowing them well and desiring to spend quality time with them). Often used in the relationship where one is a 'friend of a friend'.

This woman I met through a mutual friend is really nice and we've gone out socially a few times, but she's more of a tancend than a friend.
