From tardy - night link - ups to unspoken goodbyes .
Despite dating apps making people more accessible than ever, thedating scenefeels harder to navigate than it’s ever been. The ride-or-die type seems practically extinct, and in their place? Situationships, casual flings, sneaky links — you name it.
But let’s be honest: we all know someone who’s had a secret ‘thing’ going on. A low-key, off-the-radar connection kept far away from public view. And if you don’t know someone like that…there’s a good chance you were that someone.
And there’s a good chance you had to keep that relationship asecret, no matter how exciting, chaotic, oremotionally complicatedit got.
Your sneaky link — the one who showed up in late-night texts and disappeared before sunrise — might’ve felt like a blessing or a complete disaster. But either way, they probably left you with a story worth telling.
With that said, I’m calling on the you,BuzzFeed Community, to spill the tea about your secret relationships.
Was there a reason you needed to keep it a secret? I want to know if it was forbidden for a reason, or if you just weren’t ready to make things public.
Did anyone actually know? Maybe you told your bestie while keeping it under wraps from literally everyone else.
How sneaky did it have to get? Fake names in your phone? Late-night meetups? Secret signals?
If you’ve ever had a secret relationship (or still do), drop your story below, and you might be featured in an upcoming BuzzFeed article. If you (understandably) want to stay anonymous, use the form below to spill the tea. We’re waiting…
From late-night link-ups to unspoken goodbyes.
