Isn't situationship just another term for friends-withbenefits? A look at why folks are using the vague term to both open up and hide their feelings

The hitch with the sitch

A situationship isn't a new concept. No Strings Attached (2011, below) had Natalie Portman and Ashton Kutcher playing characters that were determined to keep it casual.

It's the perfect third date. The conversation is flowing without any liquid courage, you're vibing.

And then the other person drops this bomb: "I told my friends about our situationship". Nothing like throwing in a new, confusing term to ruin the evening. No one's getting lucky tonight.

What's a situationship, anyway? Isn't it just friends-with-benefits in a crop top? Both have non-committal approach to relationships. Neither wants a forever. Both champion open communication and friendship. Both aim for a no-strings good time.

Could you be in a situationship?

If the person you're seeing seems content to keep things as casual or as serious as you want too. YES
