Let's be real, you're not confused. You're just trying to justify staying in something that already isn't enough. In this episode, Keshia Rice breaks down why "situationships" are just emotionally dressed-up dead ends and why you deserve more than someone who can't even define what you are.

In This Episode:

• What a situationship really is (and how it's different from casual dating)

• The sneaky psychological traps that keep women stuck in romantic purgatory

• Why staying "just in case" keeps you from the real thing

• How situationships destroy your self-trust, boundaries, and standards

• What it actually means to date with intention

Key Reminder: You're not hard to love. You're just surrounded by people who don't know how.
