Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a sneaky link and a situationship?

A sneaky link is defined by secrecy: the point is that other people do not know about it, and it is usually mainly physical. A situationship is undefined rather than hidden; the two people may be openly spending time together but have never agreed what they are.

Does a sneaky link mean someone is cheating?

Not necessarily. Single people use the term for a casual arrangement they simply want to keep private. It does describe cheating when one of the people involved is in a committed relationship.
