LTR
Not a fling
LTR is an abbreviation for "long-term relationship," used in dating profiles and personal ads to signal interest in something serious rather than casual encounters: Looking for LTR, not hookups.
The term distinguishes commitment-seekers from those after short-term arrangements.
LTR appears most frequently in online dating contexts where brevity matters.
