He Hit Me First. Content Warning.
I had a C-PTSD episode in the middle of the night. Writing it down is one of many things that helps me process sometimes, and it occurred to me that it may or may not be helpful for some to read. I’m hoping it might.

Situationship Boundaries Help Prevent Confusion In Casual Romantic Connections
Modern dating has been characterized by the rise of situations where relationships are formed between friendship and committed relationships which are termed as situationships. The dynamics may be emotional closeness, similar experiences, even physical intimacy, but do not have definite labels or expectations. Although this may be a liberating aspect, it also brings in ambiguity. In the absence of defined roles, a person can find it difficult to determine the kind of relationship and end up being confused about the intentions, limits, and emotional commitment in the long run.

Dating Psychology Explains Why Mixed Signals Create Emotional Attachment Quickly
Mixed signals in dating include a scenario where the actions and words of the individual lack consistency making it hard to determine what the individual intends. As an illustration, an individual can be interested by sending messages or showing affection and then leave or grow distant without any reason. This contradiction makes the other party confused on where he or she has to be. The problem of mixed signals is becoming more prevalent in the contemporary dating world in which communication over the Internet is so easily manipulated, stalled, or downplayed that no one holds a clear responsibility of being accountable or emotionally responsible.

It was something different
I have spent a lot of my time on this site, writing about my feelings. More so then not, they have been about the loneliness while surrounded by others who have what I want. Or they have been about the fleeting feelings of a temporary crush that lasted a whole two dates. Thats what my last 3 years have felt like. A lot of hopeful rejection and rewriting it as redirection.

Situationship Dynamics Often Blur Boundaries Between Friendship And Romance
The use of the word situationship has also been introduced to modern dating culture that describes the relationships between friendship and romance. Such connections are not always clearly defined and are therefore hard to classify. Situationships, unlike normal relationships are founded on emotional intimacy, experience and occasionally physical intimacy, but they are not committed. This uncertainty may be initially liberating, providing freedom and less stress. It also leaves uncertainty, though, since neither individual has the fullest idea of the expectations or overall direction of the relationship that they are both moving towards.

Gen Z Dating Psychology Favors Flexibility Over Traditional Relationship Labels
The generation Z is transforming the nature of relationships into a less strict definition focusing on the personal and fluid relationships. Gen Z is more embraced with ambiguity as a widely used place of exploration rather than the previous generations which focused on the clear milestones in exclusivity, engagement, and marriage. Such a change indicates a larger cultural trend towards individuality and self-expression. Instead of having to fall into predetermined relationship categories such as boyfriend or girlfriend, most people are choosing to design relationships themselves to be more flexible and more real in terms of how the relationships evolve over time.

So… here I am. About a month ago, I decided I’d download Tinder and start meeting people. My plan was simple: talk to guys from all over the world, open up my perspective, have conversations with better and better-looking men—and who knows, maybe I’d even land a handsome sugar daddy or something. Or a young athlete. I mean, the world is big. And yeah, sugar daddies can be hot—but as the saying goes, 'I have adult money.'

Why Situationships Are Becoming Popular Among Gen Z Dating Culture
Situationships are romantic or emotional relationships, which are not defined or labeled in a traditional way. They are in a grey area where people can be intimate and companionship exists without them stating how they are bonded together as compared to committed relationships. To Gen Z, this idea is a move towards the break of the strict dating framework. Instead of branding a connection on the first date, most people choose to learn more about compatibility and emotional chemistry. This method enables the relationships to be natural, that is, people are free to learn their feelings without the stress of being expected by the society to have certain feelings or roles that they are expected to follow.

Psychology Principles Helping Singles Build Authentic And Meaningful Romantic Connections
One of the most valuable psychological principles to have in the establishment of meaningful romantic relationships is self-awareness. It deals with knowing your values, triggers, attachment pattern, and needs. Single people who take time to understand themselves are more deliberate about the type of person they are interested in. This understanding eliminates the chances of getting into relationships due to loneliness or due to pressure. Rather, people go into dating with a goal, and it becomes possible to see compatibility and avoid relationships that do not correspond to their future emotional health and personal development.
