Nicole’s Situationship Search on TikTok
TikTok user Nicole, who goes by @nicoleeorrr, recently took to the platform to discuss why finding a situationship has been more difficult than she expected. She said she was surprised by the struggle, considering she thought casual dating was “every man’s dream.” The video had received 330,600 views and 864 comments at the time of publication.
Her account centers on a specific, low-effort version of casual dating rather than a universal definition of a situationship. For Nicole, the arrangement could be completely casual and require very little time or effort. A man recently told her that he was not looking for anything casual, a response that seemed to surprise her.
She then outlined what she wanted, beginning with how often she would want to see the person. “I just want someone to hang out with once a week on the weekends,” she says.
Nicole also did not expect the person to text very often. In her view, frequent communication was not a priority because a situationship was not intended to be a serious relationship. She described her request as a modest one, saying in the video: “I am asking for the bare minimum,” she says in the video.

Her final requirement was that she genuinely enjoy spending time with the person. “I have to enjoy your presence and hanging out with you and we can watch movies and hang out but like, that’s it. I’m not asking for much,” she says.
TikTok Commenters Debate Whether Nicole’s Expectations Are Realistic
Casual dating looks different for everyone, and commenters had varying opinions about whether Nicole’s approach would work. Their responses focused on whether someone should state that they want a situationship directly or wait for the other person to initiate the arrangement.
One user rejected the idea that being direct about the arrangement would be enough. “That’s not how you get a situationship with men Imao. You have to pretend like you want a relationship and ‘reluctantly agree’ to a situationship,” one user commented.
Another commenter appeared to agree with the idea that men may prefer to initiate the arrangement themselves. “No they like when it’s their idea,” the user wrote.
A third commenter offered a more cynical take on how some men approach situationships, arguing that women may feel pressured to pretend they want a relationship before agreeing to something casual. “Men NEVER want the woman that wants the same thing as them. They have this weird thing abt[sic] consent. So you have to pretend to want a relationship so that they think the situationship is them getting relationship benefits w/out[sic] having to commit. They MUST feel like they have the upper hand or they dont[sic] want it,” the commenter wrote.
Despite the differing opinions, Nicole’s video appears to have resonated with viewers who recognize the challenges of navigating casual dating. Whether her approach works will depend on the people involved, their expectations, and how openly they communicate about what they want.
Why This Matters
The report covers one creator’s personal experience and the reaction from her audience; it is not a survey of dating preferences. The Daily Dot was unable to independently verify the claims made by TikTok creator @nicoleeorrr, which are based on her opinions shared in the video. The 330,600 views and 864 comments document the scale of the discussion, but they do not make the commenters’ generalizations representative of TikTok users, men, or women.
For Nicole, the unresolved challenge is finding a person who wants the same kind of arrangement after a man told her that he was not looking for anything casual. Her account highlights why stating a clear preference may not be enough: the desired meeting frequency, level of communication, and enjoyment of the time together all need to be shared. The source does not report whether Nicole has since found a suitable person, nor does it establish that the commenters’ suggestions would solve the mismatch.
The broader significance is therefore not a universal rule about who should request a situationship. It is that the label itself does not guarantee shared expectations. Based on Nicole’s experience and the comments, mutual preferences and open communication are the factors most likely to determine whether the arrangement works.
