Are you in a friendship that kind of feels like a relationship, but nothing is being defined

and you're confused and hoping that maybe there's something more,

but you're afraid to actually ask them if they like you back.

This is a classic situation ship.

And y'all are out here in communities having male and female friends where it's just ambiguous

and you don't know what to do and it's undefined. So today we are breaking

the chain of situationships. We need to do this. We are going to help you. Right, JJ? Yeah. Well,

that's the funny part is that's not a one-time thing. There's a pattern here. Yeah. Probably if you're in situation ship, you have a pattern

ship in your opinion? Yeah, I think it's pretty common. Yep. I think we've all been in one

at one time or another. It's kind of like conforming to the world. How do you conform to the world?

Well, you just breathe. You just be in the world. How do you get

to the situation chips? Honestly, you just hang out in young adult and single mom married

communities. And chances are you just develop feelings for one another. Yeah. You have a close friend.

Like I'm a girl. I have a close friend that's a guy, and maybe at first you're not thinking

anything about it, but over time you're like, wait, actually, this person's quite awesome.

And you start flirting with them a little bit.
