Situationship And Textationship: Know All About The New GenZ Dating Lingos

In the modern era of dating, new terms have emerged to describe the different types of relationships people engage in. Two of these terms are "situationship" and "textationship." While these may sound like trendy buzzwords, they actually refer to common types of romantic connections that people experience in today's world.

If you are a 90s kid or a millennial still figuring out where you stand in a relationship from a dating app, here is what I understood of the new dating lingos or labels coined by the GenZs– Situationship and Textationship.

Situationship

A 'situationship' is a relationship that is not clearly defined. It is a situation when two people enjoy all the benefits of a romantic relationship without committing to each other. If you have a lack of clarity which makes it hard for you to know where you stand in the relationship, leading to confusion, frustration, and disappointment, you are in a situationship. This often comes from the fear of commitment, the desire to have fun without obligations, or the lack of communication.

Textationship

While a 'textationship' is a relationship where two people communicate primarily through text messages. The people involved in a textationship communicate frequently through text messages, but they may not necessarily have met in person or are willing to meet anytime soon.

Both situationships and textationships can be appealing to people for different reasons. Situationships offer the freedom and flexibility to enjoy the benefits of a relationship without the commitment and expectations that come with it. Textationships can be convenient for people who lead busy lives or are unable to meet people in person due to location or introverted or other factors.

However, there are also pitfalls, risks and downsides to these types of relationships.

In situationships, partners may struggle with feelings of uncertainty and insecurity, which can lead to emotional turmoil. In textationships, partners may struggle with maintaining genuine connections without the benefits of in-person interactions.

In order to navigate these types of relationships, communication and honesty are key. It's important for both partners to be upfront about their intentions and expectations in the relationship. If one partner is looking for a committed relationship and the other is not, it's important to have that conversation early on and upfront to avoid hurt feelings down the road. In textationships, it's important to have regular phone or video calls to maintain a sense of genuine connection and intimacy.
