  Which is a situationship.
context: What the hell is that term never heard of it >
  
  I heared it on reddit yesterday the first time in a german sub. >
  
  Huh I've never heard of it until this post >
  
  NOW YOU HEARED IT TWICE DEAL WITH IT!!! >
  
  😂 >
  
  Wrong social media for those >
  
  It's just the new "it's complicated."
  Just a term to describe a situation...ship >
  
  I find that often when people say "it's complicated", it's really not -- they just don't want to make the decision that they pretty obviously should make.
  (Of course sometimes it genuinely is complicated.) >
  
  I mean, it could also mean that one person is ready to be committed and the other isn't sure yet. >
  
  I wouldn't call that a complicated situation. In fact, you described that situation perfectly well in one sentence. >
  
  Who makes up these words? >
  
  Some rando and then it catches on or doesn’t. Millions of these neologisms happen everyday. Some stick >
  
  Situationship = all the perks and add ons of dating or a relationship but without the officially established or defined title 
  Or at least that’s what TikTok has told. Honestly I hate the term too and think it’s bullshit, but hey whatever people gotta do to find new ways to have issues in society I guess >
  
  So... a fuck buddy? >
  
  Thats how I label it >
  
  "Situationship" = nothing. >
  
  This is how I feel when people say "talking stage". Maybe I've just been out of the game too long, but what does that even mean? You don't have to be exclusive or even particularly committed, but are you dating or are you not? >
  
  "Talking stage" is just the modern term for "casually dating."
  Not exclusive, but not strangers. >
  
  Fair enough. It just strikes me as weird and doesn't make sense, since you're obviously 'talking' to your friends too, a distinction which the phrase 'casual dating' makes crystal clear. I wonder if it comes from the modern phenomenon of meeting a romantic partner online, who might live a long distance away, and talking to them for many weeks without actually meeting in person. >
  
  I think people say “situationship” to describe someone ELSES struggling relationship. I’ve never heard the term be used to describe one’s own relationship. >
  
  I think it’s just to avoid accountability and emotional maturity in regards to someone else’s feelings. The perks of a relationship and the emotional intimacy without a commitment so when they leave or ghost or get with someone else, they “never owed you anything”. >
  
  Dating is complicated though. The definition of a relationship between two people is up to them. If they have the level of communication necessary to set up their own boundaries, then it's nobody else's business how they conduct things. >
  
  See a girl you like and ask her out. If she says yes then see how it goes. How can this become complicated?? >
  
  Because people (assholes) like to lead people on and get all the benefits of being in a relationship without actually making any kind of commitment so that when they eventually ghost the person they don't have to feel bad because they weren't "really" together. >
  
  This is true and why men need to be as discriminating as women. >
  
  No. >
  
  Yes >
  
  More bad behavior will not fix this issue. >
  
  My saying that men should be as discriminating as women is in your mind “bad behavior”?? >
  
  Discrimination is never okay dude. Unless you mean something else that I'm not getting >
  
  Yes discriminating means being very choosy like saying “She has discriminating taste in furniture” >
  
  My bad then, used it in the wrong context >
  
  1 Stranger.
  2 Acquaintance.
  3 Casually dating.
  4 Exclusively dating.
  A5 Engaged.
  A6 Married.
  B5 Cohabitating. >
  
  I completely agree. I feel like it's what people who wish it was a relationship call it when the other person doesn't like them as much as the other does >
  
  But a casual relationship = situationship, no? >
  
  I think it's a totally unnecessary word used in relationships with poor communication about boundaries and expectations.
  Also it doesn't make sense semantically to me. >
  
  It makes perfect sense when two adults enjoy each others bodies and don't want to have to worry about STDs from multiple partners. >
  
  That's called a FWB.
