Sexpectations. Situationships. Ghosting. Navigating modern courtships can be tricky, but casual dating can be incredibly fun and even rewarding. So far this month, we’ve talked about all types of dating rituals, including how to flirt, how to set sexual expectations, and how to reject someone (or be rejected) gracefully. Today, I’m turning my attention to “situationships” and how sometimes they can be beneficial.


Here’s what’s ahead in this email for paid subscribers:

  • The what and the why of situationships

  • How to have a good situationship 

  • More to read, watch, and listen

  • Invitations (and discount codes) for our upcoming workshops

  • May book club: Wired For Dating. Read along with us!
