Am I in a situationship?

About this episode

Sometimes there’s a very thin line between friendship and love. You spend time with someone, you’ve got things in common, you make each other laugh.Things can easily get blurry. Imagine you’ve recently met someone and really hit it off; you’re at each other’s places all the time, maybe you’ve even kissed once or twice on a night out. Maybe it’s gone further than that.

A Define the Relationship conversation or DTR for short, is a useful, if sometimes awkward chat that many people have when in a blossoming relationship. Without having a DTR, it can be difficult to put a label on it. But one has emerged which might fit the bill. The notion of a “situationship” has become more and more widespread, with the hashtag having recorded over 350 million views on Tiktok for example.

What are the telltale signs? Why are more and more people winding up in situationships? How can I avoid a situationship? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!
