We’re in a young-love recession. Gen Zers are slow to trust and averse to risk, we have, it seems, a particular social nervousness about interpersonal exchanges and the symbiosis of love. So we resort to situationships (undefined relationships), a stratagem for closeness, with zero commitment. You can flirt; you can kiss; you can dance. You can have a crush so big it blots out the stars You can have transformative romantic encounters you can care deeply and get hurt badly you can, in fact, be absolutely wrecked by love All without ever being in a relationship. Thank God we’re only young once. . . Songs for this: Die With A Smile by Lady Gaga & Bruno Mars Busy Woman by Sabrina Carpenter
