A situationship can be confusing because it often has everything that makes dating exciting, except a clear direction. You talk regularly, spend time together and may even know things about each other that most friends do not. Yet, when it comes to defining what you actually are, the answer keeps getting blurry.

Not every undefined relationship needs a label immediately. But if you have been in the same place for a while, certain patterns can tell you whether this connection is actually developing or simply staying convenient.
