Pseudo-relationship - a complicated relationship that involves two persons being more than friends but not actually dating. Relationships with no commitment: being afraid; unprepared or just plain complicated? Doing things most couples do but no strings attached.

People tend to opt for this decision because of the affections that they yearn and get without the need of being too serious and having too much responsibility. Enjoying each other's company; being comfortable and plainly having fun. This kind of relationship can go with verbal agreement or just letting the gestures do the talking. Term always used and reasoned out would be "go with the flow".

Situations may vary on people's status. It could be that both people involved are single, have flings of some sort. It could also be being with someone from your past but won't settle for a commitment or just wanting to have another affair for those who are already in a relationship.

Being single and literally having no strings attached are both considered to be safe and are stable. For them there is nothing much to worry because they are not committed and no one else would get hurt with what they're doing. They could be as carefree as they want, go anywhere they want as long as they are fine being with one another. Feelings are mutual and at the same time you have someone as your inspiration; plus, you have a reason to smile even while working.

Another situation would be being with their past lover. The reason for this set up could be that both of them cannot find someone else to commit with or they are just used to being together but don't want the commitment anymore. Just doing the same things they do when they were still committed but they are not expecting anything from each other nor will the exact responsibility would exist.

There's also this situation of a person being single yet having such relationship with someone who is already taken or vice versa. It could be because the person is unsatisfied with his/her present relationship and finds what he/she needs from someone else or he/she is apparently just playing around with relationships. Another would be that they are in such a relationship while waiting for the other to initiate the break-up so they wouldn't be branded as cheaters or engaging in another affair.

Pseudo-relationships and normal relationships have lots of things in common. Time management, spending some cash, enjoying spur of the moments, cherishing the affections from one another - all sweet and practical.

Now here's the bitter end to it. One may feel secured but till when? One may really fall in love but does the other feel the same way? One wants to demand but is there such right to claim for it? Being too attached, unprepared and getting hurt from such relationship is quite a handful to handle. This could even cause a person to lose one's self especially if that person is unable to accept that these things are just how they should be.

Some consider this pseudo-relationship as a stepping stone to finding their match and learning to handle relationships. So here's a fact that one should keep in mind in this relationship: there is no such thing as "us". One may dream and continue going with the flow but must learn to stop and wake up to reality.
