It's 2021 and thanks to dating apps, and busy lifestyles, many people are now finding themselves in 'situationships' instead of proper relationships. A situationship is basically an undefined romantic relationship. Unlike a friends with benefits situation, there can be feelings involved in a situationship, but the terms of the relationship and the end goal of the relationship are not defined. So what do we do if we want to move from a situationship to a real relationship? Dating and relationship specialist Dr Lurve joins Jana on the podcast to tell us how!
