A person who you are interested in but need an excuse to
get close to particularly by means of the innocent "need" for higher grades through "studying." Someone who is looking for a study partner usually just wants some
alone time with a person.
A study partner is a person you are interested in and want to get to know better and maybe even date (sex is very common but not the ultimate
end goal).
"Is that
Evan? He looks like he would be a great study partner."
"Yeah,
Britney is my study partner. So
I guess you could say things are getting pretty serious."
