The fact women going crazy over the shooter is just making dating harder. Now on a third date you’re absolutely getting asked “yeah but would you sacrifice your life and take out a high profile CEO for me or are you just looking for a situationship?”

    Is situationship the new word for fling?

    Guess I’m old now.

        I think its just “you live your life and I’ll live mine, and we’ll squeeze bits of relationship when it’s convenient for both of us”

          wouldn’t that just be ‘friends with benefits?’

            Fwb doesn’t have romantic elements. The “benefits” is sex, not any other relationship stuff. The friendship doesn’t even have to be a particularly good one.

        That is at least a bit more specific than a fling.

          It’s used pejoratively. On the surface it’s a relationship without labels. In practice one person catches feelings and their friends use this word to convince them to find someone who will actually commit to them.
