(Picture: Press handout)What does Valentine’s Day mean for couples who, well, aren’t yet properly couples? Who find themselves in the no man’s land between just dating and officialdom? It’s a situation — a situationship, for Urban Dictionary fans — that has become increasingly common in this hokey-cokey age of digital dating, and one which many couples-but-not-couples sometimes struggle to move past.
Come February 14, this comes to a head. Love is in the adverts, and the question of “what this is” becomes increasingly hard to gloss over. The elephant in the room wakes from his slumber and starts to make some noise. The best recourse here is to do something. Not necessarily a heart-to-heart; steady on. Instead, have some fun, eat some food, drink some drinks and mock the classical-turned-capitalist construct that is Valentine’s Day. These are the places to have a good time in, whatever the situationship and however it is — or isn’t — resolved.
