An acronym for 'Elementary School Relationship' An ESL is a relationship like one you would have had in elementary school. The couple probably passed notes, didn't talk very much in person and it's based on crushes who have confirmed they like each other. Sometimes they hold hands, hug and maybe kiss, mostly on the cheek, head or hand. Otherwise there's not much physical contact. If someone is in an ESL it means they're in a relationship that isn't going anywhere OR They're in the very early stages of a relationship.
