its complicated

a phrase people use when they are unsure of their love life and fall under one or more of these categories:
- they aren't sure whether they want to be friends or in a relationship with the person
- they are clinging on to an ending/toxic relationship
- they are afraid of being called single

im not sure if he likes me or not so i just tell people "its complicated" when they ask me my relationship status

It's complicated

One of the options for "Relationship Status" on Facebook. Refers to a couple in an ambiguous state between "friends" and "in a relationship". May also be used to indicate dissatisfaction with an existing relationship.

If someone changes their status from "In a Relationship" to "It's Complicated", expect them to be "Single" and "Looking for Random Play" soon.

It's complicated

a couple that can't decide to be friends, friends with benefits, or to be in a full out relationship. Friends continue to ask each person what their situation is but no one can truly say in a relationship.

Robin and Lauren's relationship is complicated. If I had to put a title on it I would say,"It's complicated!" Come on guys, just be in a relationship all ready.
