One builds a future, the other just passes time. Which is your relationship?

SLOW BURN OR SITUATIONSHIP?

In today's era of dating apps and never-ending talking stages, modern romance often starts in a grey zone. You meet, you vibe, you hang out, maybe hook up - and then? Nothing is defined. It's this weird space where you're not quite strangers, but not exactly a couple either. Are you walking slowly on a path that's going somewhere or just stuck in a situationship with no future and label? Here's how to navigate what's going on.

What, Firstly, Is A Slow Burn?

A slow burn relationship takes its own time to unfold. It's less about getting swept up in the romance and grand declarations, and more about growing comfort, steady emotional intimacy, and consistent presence. You trade fireworks and butterflies for a solid foundation that often lasts longer.
