This is mostly for fiction, but technically speaking this exists in real life as well (it's just harder to notice, unless you're really observant). What is the correct term when you got two people, who aren't a couple, but are friends who are in love with each other, but don't know the other one is?
Unrequited love? Unrequited love - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Me and NCG.
But in this case the love is reciprocated, just that neither of the friends know.Quote:

I'd call it faulty sattelite love
Awkwardness
All day suckers.
"Missing out"
The ending for almost every sitcom, romantic comedy and Disney movie.
Take care all.
'idiots'
So lame. Sorry to ruin you fantasy, but if your goal is shorten the description of their relationship to one-to-three words, nope, there is no proper terminology. There just BFFs. Until one of them admits their feelings for the other, no matter how they feel toward each other, they can't be called anything else... unless they're siblings.
If you want, you can make up a word and submit it to be added to the dictionary with the definition you supplied in your post.
"smurfed"
Yeah, you have to a coin a phrase here. I've been poking around TVTropes, which loves this kind of thing and the best entry I can find is 'oblivious to love'.
I suggest you call it 'mutually oblivious'.
