If you’re not sure how to DTR besides calling it ‘a thing’, you’re probs in a situation ship. Maybe you’re having sleepovers with this person thrice a week but you forget they exist when asked if you’re dating anyone. Or, maybe you’re sliding into each other’s DMs daily, but you haven’t actually hit the Follow button yet. Sound familiar?
