Asymptote

[Sarah]

A line which approaches nearer to some curve than assignabledistance, but, though infinitely extended, would never meet it.Asymptotes may be straight lines or curves. A rectilinear asymptotemay be conceived as a tangent to the curve at an infinite distance.

[Sarah]

A line that approaches a function's graph more and more closely, but never touches it. Asymptote are the limits of a graph.

[Sarah]

A straight line that is the limiting value of a curve. It can have many different equations and is the most important factor in curve sketches and other similar mathematical sectors.

[Sarah]

-noun: a guy/girl that has a crush on someone and shows it but never does anything about it, just keeps his/her distance.

[Sarah]

A mathematical term. It describes a line or equation of a line that would approach a certain point never go all the way. Taught to algebra or pre-calc students.

It can also be a term that describes a person who wishes to be in a relationship with another person, gets close to that person as time goes on but never actually ask her/him out for some reason
Usually they quit after the person gets into a relationship but in some cases they extend to infinity
can become stalkers
in some cases the other person realize their affection, which is their goal, and result in happy ending

[Sarah]

An asymptote is a person who you get closer and closer to you but never touches you.
Derived from the term in analytic geometry.

[Tina]

Asymptote is basically [the friendzone]. Youre really [close] but you can never [touch].
