You're in that in-between space: more than friends, less than official. The texts are warm, the moments are real, but the label never comes. In Singapore, where dating apps have made situationships increasingly common, it's easy to feel stuck. Here's the thing: how you handle yourself matters more than how you handle them. And sometimes, the best move is to gift yourself something beautiful — flowers included.
What Is a Situationship?
A situationship is a romantic or emotional connection without clear labels, commitment, or defined expectations. You might spend significant time together, share intimate moments, and feel genuine affection — but you avoid the "what are we?" conversation. It exists somewhere between friendship and a committed relationship, and it's become increasingly prevalent among millennials and Gen Z in Singapore. Tinder reported a 49% increase in members adding "situationship" as a relationship intention on their profiles.
Signs you're in one: lack of clear communication about where things are heading, no official titles, inconsistent behaviour, limited future planning together, and that persistent uncertainty about where you stand.
How to Handle Yourself in a Situationship
1. Get Clear on Your Needs
Before you do anything else, ask yourself: Are my emotional needs being met? Is there mutual respect and safety? Have I communicated what I want? Situationships create anxiety because the brain struggles to process relational uncertainty. Knowing what you need — and whether this arrangement serves it — is the first step.
2. Communicate Honestly
Don't let fear prevent you from having the conversation. If you want clarity, ask for it. If you're okay with the ambiguity, own that too. Many situationships persist because both parties avoid the topic. Challenge yourself to communicate openly about your expectations — it can illuminate your own needs and serve as a check-in on how both of you are feeling.
3. Set Boundaries
Establish emotional boundaries and communicate them clearly. Reflect on attachment patterns that may keep you in undefined relationships. If the situationship consistently leaves you feeling uncertain, undervalued, or emotionally drained, it may be time to step away.
4. Know When to Leave
If you've communicated, set boundaries, and still feel stuck in anxiety more than contentment, consider walking away. Seeking clarity is brave. So is recognising when something isn't working.
Flowers for You, Not Them
Here's a perspective we stand by: don't use flowers to push a situationship toward commitment. Gifts can create awkwardness by highlighting the ambiguity rather than celebrating it. If you're seeking a more defined relationship, have a direct conversation instead of relying on gestures.
What we do recommend: flowers for yourself. When you're navigating relationship uncertainty, self-care matters. Studies show that receiving flowers triggers genuine happiness, reduces anxiety, and increases feelings of life satisfaction — and your brain doesn't care who bought them. The mood boost is the same whether someone sends them to you or you order them yourself.

Should I Give My Situationship Flowers?
We recommend against it. Flowers and gifts can create awkwardness by highlighting the ambiguity. If you want clarity or commitment, have a direct conversation instead. If the casual nature works for you, you can still enjoy Valentine's Day or other occasions — but consider getting flowers for yourself instead.
What Flowers Are Best for Self-Care When I'm in a Situationship?
Choose flowers that make you feel grounded, hopeful, or joyful. The Resilience arrangement ($52) offers minimal, calming energy. The Hopeful Flower Vase ($103) brings comfort and warmth. For a cheerful boost, try Bright Smile ($81) or the Daily Surprise ($66).
Can I Order Flowers for Myself with Same-Day Delivery in Singapore?
Yes. Windflower Florist offers free same-day delivery across Singapore when you order before the daily cut-off time. You can have flowers delivered to your home or office — no occasion required.
What If I Want to Move the Situationship Forward?
Communicate. Have the "what are we?" conversation. Don't rely on gifts or gestures to signal your intentions. If the other person isn't on the same page, you'll have clarity. If they are, you'll have a path forward. Either way, you deserve to know where you stand.
