Situationship

What is a situationship? The undefined relationship stage, explained.

A situationship is a romantic or sexual connection that's more than casual but hasn't been officially defined — you're seeing each other regularly, maybe exclusively, but nobody's said the words. It isn't automatically a red flag; some people genuinely prefer the ambiguity for a while. It gets complicated when one person wants clarity and the other's happy leaving it undefined indefinitely.
