The begged question is extreme: Are you going to be totally apart or never leave each other? It feels like a Bachelor moment. What are couples deciding?

This may be a backward way to begin this article, but I have to say it: I’ve never actually been that great at casual dating . I tend to let my feelings.

On this season of “Married at First Sight,” year-old Deonna McNeill explains to her year relationship gap to her new husband, Gregory Okotie, by using a term you may not be familiar with. Less than a relationship, but more than a casual encounter or booty call, a situationship refers to a romantic relationship that is, and remains, undefined. Why is this becoming a trend now? A situationship is that space between a committed relationship and something that is more than a friendship.

On the one hand, removing the pressure of putting parameters on what the relationship is and isn’t can be freeing — as long as both parties are okay with leaving things open. On the flip side, not knowing where you stand can be detrimental, especially if one party wants more of a commitment. You’ve met someone new, and things seem to be going well. But even though you’re only a few dates in, wondering where this is all going is keeping you up at night.
