Tibio
+2
Literally "lukewarm," used for someone who is wishy-washy, noncommittal, or half-hearted. If someone is being tibio with you, they are not fully in but not fully out either, giving you just enough attention to keep you hanging. Very common in dating contexts across Mexico, Colombia, Chile, and Argentina.
