What's the difference between situationship and friends with benefits?

[Anonymous]

What are the difference between the two? Can you be in one without the other?

A situationship is basically a "relationship" that most likely started as a friends with benefits, until "couple things" happened. One person caught feelings, the other person wanted it to stay as friends with benefits, and now both parties are seriously confused.

Friends with benefits is basically just casual sex.

Friends with benefits-2 friends having sex with no strings attached. Both of them have no romantic feelings towards each other
Situationship-2 friends having sex but one or both will have romantic feelings towards each other without the label of a "relationship". People will doubt you as girlfriend and boyfriend. You may even act like you got a boyfriend/girlfriend and may reject suitable partners
