15 Signs You’re In A Sorta-Kinda-Maybe “Relationship”
I’m pretty sure we’ve all been in this kind of “relationship” before. You know, the sort-of-kind-of-awkward-not-official-but-kindof-working-on-it-I’m-so-confused type of relationship. It’s sort of like the limbo you exist in before you either take the plunge and become Facebook offish OR if things go wayyyy left and the non-relationship-ish-relationship just spontaneously combusts.
But if you aren’t quite sure whether the “relationship” you’re in is actually this kind of relationship, here’s 15 signs to help you figure it out.
1. You avoid introducing each other with actual titles like “boyfriend” (ew!) and “girlfriend” (ehk!).
2. Your friends in real relationships show their affection openly…
3. …while you have other ways of showing it.
4. You wait to schedule all plans until you hear from them. But you don’t let yourself wait around forever… right?
5. You still check out other girls/guys, but you feel guilty about it.
6. You tell them that you don’t care if they see other people…
7. …but as cool as you try to play it, jealousy always takes over.
8. You text in ambiguous code all day long.
9. You’re afraid of gestures that seem too romantic…
10. …especially holding hands! You can sleep together, but holding hands is TOO SERIOUS.
11. You’ve found every which way to get comfortable in bed…
12. …but you’re still not comfortable sleeping over.
13. Privately, you allow yourself to be as affectionate as you want to be…
14. …but in public, it’s a completely different story.
