I'm always a little baffled when people feel like everything needs a label, honestly.

Well, friends with benefits are allegedly happy with the arrangement, meanwhile a situationship is where one person wants a relationship and is basically breadcrumbed along by someone who has no plans commit but still wants to hook up. I don't think it's a hard distinction to make, the phrase "situationship" allures to the fact that it is inherently out of their control and is only usually admitted by one of the pair.

I don't think FWBs usually go on dates though or have romantic feelings towards one another. That's the point.

The term 'situationship' is only used by naive people who have feelings for someone who has put them firmly in the FWB zone.

1st Example: On a first date are you now officially dating and do you call them your partner to friends/family/and to them? Of course not, that would be insane. How about after the second, third or fourth? It takes a few dates to see if you mesh well with someone to officially date them. 2nd Example: Probably FWB 3rd Example: See example one. 4th Example: This person is just dumb. If you are committed to someone, you're dating.
