Dating: Are situationships worth the trouble?

The term"situationship" is a new trend in the dating world, describing a non-committal relationship with no clear expectations or future. While it can be liberating for some, it can also be challenging, especially when one person falls in love and wants more.

However, he soon fell deeply for her despite his initial laissez-faire attitude toward the relationship. Unfortunately, their situationship ended with her breaking his heart because she didn’t want anything serious to happen. Unrequited love aside, Thom couldn’t help but feel like he didn’t get enough closure when the relationship ended. “I felt that because she wasn’t my girlfriend, I couldn’t ask her why she didn’t want to be with me or convince her to give me a shot,” he explained.

“When entering a situationship, the best way to manage your input is to be honest with yourself and the person you’re with about what the relationship really is,” says Sarah Louise Ryan, an international matchmaker and dating and relationship expert. “Knowing what the relationship comes with the consciousness of knowing oneself and doing the work of self-development,” she further explains.

After a situationship ends, the person who got the shorter end of the stick often feels they could have done something to save the relationship. Sadly, this isn't always true.
