How soon is too soon to sleep together? Should you wait until the third date? Until you’re exclusive? Until you’re officially in a relationship?
Have you ever found yourself checking your phone repeatedly after sending a message?
Or felt your mood change completely because someone you’re dating took longer than usual to reply?
Going from friends with benefits to a committed relationship isn't usually something you actively seek—or plan for. But it can happen. Not always, and not always in a simple way.
While the two can look very similar from the outside, they don't always mean the same thing.
For many people, the answer is obvious.
"Yes, I'm in a situationship."
The harder question is:
Why am I still in it?
