The world of dating can feel like a real maze and far from simple. Most people who have ever ventured into the dating jungle know this.
Everything from nervous first dates to having to ask the dreaded question: “What are we really?”
It’s not always easy to know how the person you’re dating feels.
Have you ever doubted whether your partner is on the same path in the relationship as you? In “The Situation” you live in the uncertainty that dictates your marital status.
A typical sign that you are in a “situation” is that you cannot answer the question about what type of relationship you are in. The relationship cannot be defined and has not been formally communicated.
Why do we end up in “situations”?
Finding the perfect date is easier today thanks to dating apps. But with more choices comes the fear of losing love. The idea that the grass is always greener on the other side is becoming increasingly popular when the options suddenly seem endless.
Many people find themselves in temporary relationships where they don’t know where they stand or where to go, and they simply end up in some sort of limbo.
What does a dating expert say?
according to Logan Ureydirector of Relationship Sciences at Hinge, the key to avoiding ending up in an “attitude ship” is to be aware of what you’re looking for from the start.
“You don’t want to be with someone for six months and then find out you don’t have the same intentions about what the relationship should lead to,” she says.
Dating Expert Advice: How to Avoid “Situations”
Ask yourself what you want and need. Looking for something more serious? If not, Postures may work perfectly for you. If yes, here are some tips on how to move out of limbo.
Try to define the relationship
When asked what made defining a relationship difficult, the most popular response, from 56% of users on Hinge, was, “I didn’t know what they wanted from a relationship.” It is important to make sure that you are on the same page about where you are and where you are going.
No matter what a person says they are looking for, believe it!
You may hear the answer you want to hear yourself, or they may tell you that they are just looking for some fun right now. If you don’t get the answer you want to hear, don’t try to change their mind. Accept his answer and then choose how you want to pursue the relationship.
Decide if you want to stay in the relationship
If you want something more serious than what you give, it’s time to find that with someone else. Don’t waste time trying to change the person.
