The typical situationship: it’s a canon event. They “forget” to reply for three hours, then post a story. They roast your music taste, call you dramatic, and somehow you’re still the one who ends up texting first. If you’ve been on the receiving end of romantic rage-bait lately, it’s time to take the power back. After all, two can play that game. And with these rage-bait questions for your situationship, it’s simpler than ever.
Now, I’m not saying you have to start an actual fight (OK, maybe a tiny one), but catching your situationship off-guard and seeing what happens is incredibly telling. Maybe they laugh, maybe they argue back, maybe they block you after. Or, perhaps, you end up learning more about them than you ever expected.
As for timing? That choice is up to you. Drop one at your next “casual meet-up,” mid-scroll on FaceTime, or send one over text right after they’ve left you on read for an hour. IMO, the less context, the better, and bonus points if you keep a completely straight face. Whether it’s a crush, a situationship, or a full-on significant other, here’s how to give it right back.
