Valentine’s Day is just around the corner and singles (including soon-to-be singles) will experience another avalanche of vawulenz and sifia pains! 

As unwarranted reels of overpriced roses, cheesy dinner dates, and unnecessarily public proposals will be gracing your timelines back to back.

But before you start dreaming about all the ways your situationship might surprise you, let me save you the heartbreak. 

Situationships are like half-cooked meat — it looks promising but never delivers. Here’s why you should save yourself the drama and cut ties before Cupid shows up with his overpriced arrow:

The Gift Pressure Will Break Your Pocket

Let’s be real: February 14 is not for faint-wallets, especially if you just barely survived January sapa. If your situationship is already dropping hints like, “Oh, I’ve never gotten flowers before,” or sending you links to expensive wristwatches, it’s a trap! 

Valentine’s expectations will skyrocket, and suddenly you’ll find yourself Googling “cheap romantic date ideas in Lagos.”

Save yourself the financial trauma; leave now and reclaim your dignity without bills.

They Might Be Planning to Ghost You

You’re planning dinner at a fancy restaurant, and they’re planning their escape. 

Situationship people are like NEPA light — they disappear when you need them the most. 

Instead of stressing over why their phone is conveniently “off” on Valentine’s Day, take the proactive route and end things early. It’s called self-care..

Avoid Becoming the Backup Plan

Valentine’s Day has tiers, and if you’re in a situationship, there’s a 99.9% chance you’re not the first choice. 

You might get a rushed lunch date because “something came up.” Translation: they’re saving their evening for the real MVP. 

Don’t be the side dish in someone’s romantic buffet. Cut the cord and get ahead of the game.

No Love, No Drama

If your situationship has been vibing for six months but still insists on saying, “Let’s see where this goes,” let me help you: it’s going nowhere. 

Valentine’s Day will only highlight how un-serious things are. Avoid the awkwardness of being the third wheel to their indecisiveness.

Prevention Is Better Than Cure

Situationships are like Nigerian politicians: full of promises but deliver nothing. 

Breaking up now saves you from awkward Valentine’s fights about “what are we?” And if they reply with, “I thought we were just having fun,” you’ll wish you left sooner.

Valentine’s Day is too precious (and expensive) to waste on half-hearted relationships. 

Break up with your situationship, treat yourself to something nice, and remind yourself that you deserve real love. Plus, being single and unbothered is also a great Valentine’s Day gift, sometimes…

  3. I’m amazed, I must say. Rarely do I encounter a blog that’s equally educative and engaging, and let
    me tell you, you have hit the nail on the head.

    The issue is something that too few folks are speaking intelligently about.
    I am very happy that I came across this in my hunt for something relating to this.

  6. Its like you read my mind! You appear to know so much about this,
    like you wrote the book in it or something. I think that you can do with some pics to drive the message home a little
    bit, but other than that, this is magnificent blog.
    A great read. I will definitely be back.

  15. I’m not sure exactly why but this website is loading very slow
    for me. Is anyone else having this problem or is it a problem on my end?
    I’ll check back later and see if the problem still exists.

  20. Yesterday, while I was at work, my sister stole my iphone and tested to
    see if it can survive a forty foot drop, just so she
    can be a youtube sensation. My iPad is now destroyed and she has
    83 views. I know this is completely off topic but I had to share it with someone!

  21. I’ve been surfing online more than 4 hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours. It’s pretty worth enough for me. In my view, if all site owners and bloggers made good content as you did, the internet will be much more useful than ever before.|

  28. I’m curious to find out what blog platform you’re utilizing?
    I’m experiencing some minor security issues with my latest site and I’d
    like to find something more safeguarded. Do you have any
    suggestions?

    Would you be interested in exchanging links or maybe
    guest writing a blog post or vice-versa? My site goes over
    a lot of the same subjects as yours and I believe we
    could greatly benefit from each other. If you are
