Have you ever been in a “situationship”? If not, would you ever wanna be in one?

Question

If yes, how did it go? Did it go well than a true relationship?

I was extremely naive in high school so I went through several of them. They didn't go well, I eventually lost my virginity that way but I didn't get any closure for years.

I was a bit of a hopeless romantic back then. Too much of a nice guy, after 2 heart breaks that changed

Ah, the mysterious world of "situationships," where everything's possible but nothing's certain! 😉 I've danced on the edge of what you might call a situationship before I got married. It was like being on a thrilling rollercoaster, minus the safety bar. So much fun, but oh, when you hit those bumps—ouch!

In my professional life, I've seen situationships go both ways. They can be a playground for exploring connections without the pressure of labels, or they can be an emotional limbo that leaves everyone guessing. Did it go better than a true relationship? Well, it's like comparing apples to rollercoasters. Both have their perks, but you're in for a very different ride.

If you're waving the flag of a situationship, just make sure you're both holding onto it. Communication is key, even if the only thing you're agreeing on is staying unlabelled. Remember, the heart wants what it wants, but it also appreciates a heads-up on the game plan. Keep it flirty, keep it fun, but keep it honest, too. You've got this! 😉

I was in two, really awkward to be in. You’re not just friends but you’re not actually together either. I guess if that’s all you have going for you it is better than nothing, but I really don’t recommend if it doesn’t lead to a true relationship

sawno · Answer

Yes, we were everything you'd expect from a relationship and already exclusive. But we wanted to make it official in person and the lockdown made that difficult. So while I formally asked her to be mine very late we were functionally in a relationship and knew that if either wanted to make it official sooner the other would say yes.

It transitioned into an official relationship once I could. I had bought her a special proposal gift and tied it into the moment with a unified romantic theme. I presented it all to her and then asked her properly.

RavVid · Answer

I don't think I would want that. It seems to me to be a form of open relationship. OK we chill, have sex, enjoy each others company but really don't know where we are.

Do I need to have this condom on if she is on oral "to regulate her periods"?

I prefer to be treating a girl as potentially a serious relationship from the get go and would hope for the same. If I or the girl was having sex with others after we met than I think our ability to have a trusting monogamous relationship would be compromised.

Chelsdope0 · Answer

Situationships can be enjoyable initially, but they often lead to someone getting hurt, typically the one who develops stronger feelings, which tends to be the woman. It was particularly painful for me because he misled me about not being ready for a committed relationship, and I believed him, offering him emotional support during his stressful job of being a firefighter… I was hoping he would eventually choose me… I was really just a placeholder… I later realized I was merely a temporary solution for him.

Our communication ceased… we stopped talking and within the same month, he entered a relationship and proposed just four months later. It was deeply hurtful because he claimed to care about me and wanted me to be happy…I desired to be with him.

It's a painful reality at times.

PeachyPie93 · Answer

I sort of was once, but it was long distance so luckily nothing happened. No I wouldn't want to be in one. It broke me a bit as a person, especially having someone tell you they love you everyday, they miss you, but will not commit, yet keep saying he is open to it once he deals with himself. I will never understand a guy who does that especially when they are sleeping with other people, why talk to me like you have love?

GuyAnswersGirls123 · Answer

It doesn't work for me. I'm like a, "I'm gonna marry you and love you forever" type and I meant it every time. I just got a stray cat in recent years and same way. I love through commitment. I didn't have sex with my cat because I only like human women that way, but same idea just with the sex on top.

kaozpiper · Answer

I'm in one currently (without sex, we are the waiting til marriage types). It's not great not being officially exclusive (though we're not seeing other people) while going on weekly "dates" but it is very fulfilling. We both are interested in the potential of dating, but we're taking it slow. Its definitely better than being just friends.

Hanrej · Answer

Yeah, had plenty of those. It's basically friends with benefits mixed with some romance that never quite make it to serious in the sense that you plan a future or ever become dependent on eachother. Usually people wirh bad past experience who don't dare take the leap or who realize they like eachother but don't see how they could work out their differences get stuck in situationships. It's pleasant but inferior to a working healthy relationship.

beebella · Answer

That's pretty much the only experience I have with "dating", tbh. 😣 Partially because of me, but also partially not because of me.

DannyUk2017 · Answer

No i never been, and i can't say i want to be.. Because i might "fall" for that "situationship person" and if we are not Compatible more than just Sex, then the whole Situationship will become a Living Hell/ A Toxic trait! Which i had enough!

mandyfire98 · Answer

It depends on everyone's definition of a "situationship"  I've definitely had friends with benefits over the years.

BCRanger10 · Answer

Everyone should delete this contemptible, stupid word from their vocabulary and scrub the mindset from their heads as well.

spartan55 · Answer

Never, and never would. I have a low opinion of the terms 'situationship', and the stupid 'talking phase' for several reasons.

AngelofDeath111 · Answer

I don't give guys free sex. I don't see the point since the guy will be using you at some point. Banging someone should be something that you're ready for.

PBandJ_Nerd · Answer

I don't think I'd want to be in one. For me it's either we're just still in platonic or we're in a romantic relationship.

Grond21 · Answer

I would never be in one. I'm saving myself for marriage and I would only date, which I'm doing currently, to figure out if this is a good person to be married to for my whole life.

itsclearlynicholas · Answer

Lady, I haven't even managed to score with any chick at my age of 30, lol, throughout my 20s I was blessed with good fortunes like lovely money, jobs, family and friends, however I didn't get to bang any chicks. Sigh 😞😔 why god why lol. So I embrace the devil and devil appreciation 😈

HighValue · Answer

No, never because I am not a low quality immoral person.

JacobJordan · Answer

No and absolutely fucking not. I would only be intimate with a woman I was exclusive with as in boyfriend girlfriend or husband wife

serious · Answer

No, I have never been in a situationship. I certainly hope that never happens too.
