This means Situationship: Undefined interpersonal relationship
The abbreviation “Situationship” is mainly used in dating apps like Tinder and Co. and social media like TikTok or Twitter and stands for an undefined relationship between two or more people.
The term is derived from the English word “relationship”, but the focus is not on the relationship but on the situation. Means: The relationship between people does not yet have a label, i.e. no clear designation.

What does “yeet” mean?
In a “Situationship” it has not yet been discussed what the intentions of the people involved are. It is neither a permanent partnership nor a non-binding sex relationship. The expression describes the time before the well-known and clarifying “What are we?” conversation.
For whom is a “Situationship” suitable?
People who seek stability in friendships or relationships should stay away from a situationship. In this dating trend, too, feelings can quickly arise that can be hurt.
If you don’t want to make any commitments, want to prioritize other areas of life and let yourself drift, the “Situationship” relationship form can be the right one for you. The decisive question is therefore rather, do I want something binding or something non-binding.
