Figuring out relationships these days is like solving a puzzle with your eyes closed, especially when you’re in one of those confusing almost-relationships. 

Ya know, the ones that leave you wondering exactly where you’re headed with them. 

Don’t worry, though. We’ve got your back.

Here are some red flags that indicate the person you’re dealing with will never move past a situationship. 

They’re getting wifey treatment from you as it is

The person you’re dating without any title has no incentive to make it official if they’re already getting wifey treatment from you.

Having sex with them, buying gifts for them, offering them favors, and doing everything else that makes them feel like a boyfriend/husband isn’t something to continue doing if you haven’t already gotten an exclusive label from them.

They’re unfazed by your threats to break things off

If you’re interested in being in a committed relationship but they’re not, there’s a possibility you’ve threatened to break things off with them once or twice before.

If they seem totally unfazed by your threats to end things, they clearly don’t care enough about you in the first place. Someone who actually wants to be with you will fight for you.

They have all the excuses in the world

Why aren’t they ready to be in a relationship with you? They probably have all the excuses in the world!

At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter how busy someone is.

When you meet the person you want to be with, you figure out how to make time in your schedule to make it work. Excuses about being too busy for a relationship are pure bullsh**.

They don’t want you hooking up with other people, but they won’t commit to you either

Any person who hasn’t given you a title of exclusivity has no right to control if you date other people or not.

The most toxic thing a person can do is convince you to remain faithful and exclusive to them when they haven’t even offered you the security or stability of a real relationship.

They’re fine with seeing other people 

One of the biggest signs your situationship is going nowhere is when you discover they’re actively dating or seeing other people.

If they’re unfazed by the prospect of YOU seeing other people, that’s just as bad.

Even if you haven’t talked about being exclusive, it’s time to think about what’s important to you if you’re giving your time and feelings to someone who isn’t giving them back. 

You haven’t met their friends or family 

Are you wondering when your partner is going to introduce you to their friends or family?

If you’ve been together for a long time and still haven’t met the important people in their life, it’s a big warning sign. In a healthy relationship, you should both be part of each other’s social circles.

If they’re keeping you away from their loved ones, it might mean they don’t see a future with you beyond just dating casually.

They always make last-minute plans 

It’s a red flag if your partner always waits until the last minute to make plans. In a healthy relationship, you should both be making plans together regularly.

If they’re not making an effort to plan ahead, even after you’ve talked to them about it, it’s a sign that there’s no taking things to the next level with you. 

Everything is sexual around them 

No one says having intense sexual chemistry is a bad thing.

But ending up between the sheets more often is not healthy, especially when you try to discuss your future together in these intense moments, but they just fan it aside as unimportant.

That’s your cue! Dust yourself up and head for the exit.

They’re emotionally unavailable 

A problem shared is a problem half solved, especially if shared with someone you trust. And who else but your partner?

However, if your reality is the opposite and the person you’re seeing just never puts their ears down to hear your challenges and sympathize with you, it’s a clear sign. Get out immediately.
