Situationships can be considered an undefined or indeterminate sexual or romantic relationship. The people involved are more than friends but are not strictly committed to each other. With the advancement of the world, many people prefer to settle for situationships. This is because it comes with less baggage, including commitment and loyalty.

However, in situationships, one person may likely wish for it to grow into something serious. These are signs that the situationship may not turn into a relationship.

Not Being A Part Of Their Plans

Whether as a man or woman, if your other half in the situationship does not see long-term goals with you, then it’s a sign. If you only meet up at the movies or their house to play and have sex, you could as well shut the door to anything meaningful in most cases. When the situationship is ready to proceed or get serious, you will realize that they willingly want you integrated into every area of their lives.

No Milestones

When you do not see yourselves celebrating your friendships, having dinner dates with families, or saying “I love you” to each other. This is the time when you might want to review your situationship. But if it’s okay to continue if it suits your need(s).

When Boredom Hits High

Doing things that make you two happy without restrictions should be the order of the day. It’s time to exit when the situationship loses that spark or naughtiness.

No Talk About The Future

Like the first point, your situationship will seem stuck if you only talk about the present. There is nothing to show that they want to have a family or future with you. You two may have a smooth sail but avoid discussing where the relationship leads.

Nothing Shows That You Are Special

There is a lot of potential in every situationship. Even though it is a situationship, you should be treated with respect. But the moment your partner tries to avoid being with you in public, it’s a thumbs down.

InStyle emphasizes that situationships can be positive only when you and your partner are on the same page. The only way to make this happen is by communication and never assumption. Explain your fears and desires. If it locks in, then you are in luck!
