If you’re not sure how to DTR besides calling it ‘a thing’, you’re probs in a situation ship. Maybe you’re having sleepovers with this person thrice a week but you forget they exist when asked if you’re dating anyone. Or, maybe you’re sliding into each other’s DMs daily, but you haven’t actually hit the Follow button yet. Sound familiar? It takes six weeks, on average, for new couples to put any kind of label on their relationship, according to a survey by US-based sex-toy brand EdenFantasys. That is if you want to be official at all. Maybe The Safety Crush works just fine for you, #ThankYouVeryMuch. Here’s the full cast of characters you could be dealing with...
