Long-term relationship

On dating apps and in personals ads, LTR stands for "long-term relationship." For example, those who say they are "looking for an LTR" are hoping to find a committed SO rather than a short-term hook up.

People may also use LTR when discussing their past relationships or asking about yours. For example, a person you're messaging on a dating app may say they "just got out of an LTR" and want to take things slow. LTR is not to be confused with LDR, which means "long-distance relationship," though the two sometimes go hand in hand.

Example

How many LTRs have you been in?

Letter

Ltr is an abbreviation for "letter" that removes several letters (ltrs). People typically use ltr in online messages or texts to refer to a written message or a letter of the alphabet.

For example, your mom may text you, "Did you c that ltr from gma on the counter?" Or, your friend may message you, "What's a 6 ltr word for friend?" when doing a crossword.

Ltr is similar to the char abbreviation for "character," which may refer to letters, numbers, and other special characters. Since char is much more versatile, people will likely use it more often for alphabet letters than the "ltr" abbreviation.

Example

Thanks for sending me the invitation ltr! Glad you got it and hope you can make it
