Dating Intentionally

This episode originally aired in October 2022! Situationships are messy, undefined, and often leave you feeling stuck. In this episode, I break down what a situationship really is, how to tell if you're in one, and why they rarely lead to the kind of relationship you want. I’ll share how to get out of a situationship, whether you're the one who wants more or the one who can’t commit, plus tips on avoiding them altogether. I also answer a listener’s question on recognizing red flags early and share my own experience with a situationship that dragged on for years.PARTNERSTry up to 27 free meals from Marley Spoon!Get Dipsea for 30 days FREE Check out Galatea and get 25% off your subscriptionCONNECT WITH ME:Ask a question for me to answer on the podSlide into my DMs on IG @dating.intentionally!MORE FREE ADVICE & CONTENTFree texting templates & dating FAQ guideGet more dating advice from me on YouTubeDating Intentionally on TikTokRead more on the blogDATING COURSESSwipe, Match, Date - Master The Dating AppsHow To Identify Your Needs 1-hr ClassSUPPORT THE PODRate on Apple Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode, I'm breaking down what emotional availability is, why it's important, how it relates to attachment style and signs your date isn't emotionally available.

Do they communicate openly and consistently? When I express my needs, do they listen and respond? Do they follow through on what they say? Do they make space for me in their life?
