Is your summer romance just a fling or is it turning into the real thing? Here’s how to tell which direction your situationship is heading in.
So, you’ve been hanging out with someone for a while but you’re not sure if it’s heading towards a relationship or if it’s just a summer fling? Here’s how to tell if your situationship might become something more.
Do they….
● … take ages to respond to your messages, leave you on read or are just really difficult to get hold of in general?
● … spend tons of time on their phone when you are together and become absorbed in online content instead of what you’re saying?
● … seldom commit to plans and then expect you to drop everything and be available for them whenever they have free time?
● … make you feel like they are only after one thing and only compliment you on what you look like rather than who you are as a person?
● … not really do much with you out in public and they say they aren’t ready to introduce you to their friends and family?
This indicates that it might be a fling. This is because they aren’t showing that they are interested in getting to know you on a deeper level. If you are happy with the arrangement, continue, but if you want something more, it might be time to part ways.
Do they…
● … send you messages that are thoughtful and show that they’ve been listening to you and take an interest in your life and wellbeing?
● … want to hold your hand or show signs of affection when out in public and not just when the two of you are alone or being intimate?
● … ever suggest going on a weekend away together or talk about trips you could take or events you could attend together in the future?
● … have a cute pet name for you? And do you have one for them? This shows that there is a mutual comfort and connection between you.
● … give you compliments about things *other* than your physical attributes, such as your amazing brain or the way you treat people?
Oooh la la – all signs point to this potentially being the real thing! That’s because they clearly want other people to know that you two have a connection. They are also revealing that they like aspects of who you are inside and not just what you look like.
