The Dangers of Situationships

False hope
The thing about situationships is that they feel real. In fact, the behaviors are often indistinguishably similar to actual relationships. And it’s this similarity that can lull even the most bright and brilliant of us into a false sense of security. But more than that, they breed a lot of hope that one day your situationship will be official. You’ll be able to post one another on social media, you’ll be able to tell your friends they were wrong about him or her. And for some of us, that may eventually be the case. But many times, this is not the fate of those in situationships. More often than not, one or both parties gets tired of the arrangement and there is a breakup or a falling out for a relationship that was never officially defined in the first place.
