Can a situationship ever become a relationship?

You’ve been dating for months – you’ve met their friends, spent whole weekends together, even celebrated birthdays. But it’s still just ‘casual’... What do you do? Do you hold out in case things progress, or quit this relationship purgatory and accept that once a situationship, always a situationship?

This week, Millie and Clare are debating this exact scenario, asking: Can a slow-start situationship ever become a successful relationship? And, more importantly, should it?

Let us know what you think – and tell us your success (or horror) situationship stories in comments, reviews, or on our socials @CosmopolitanUK.

Thanks to this week’s expert, dating and relationship coach Vicki Pavitt.
