The full narrative journey from romantic ambiguity to defined relationship status — including all the texting limbo, almost-moments, mixed signals, and eventual clarity (or crash). Your DTR arc is the whole messy chapter: the getting to know each other phase, the 'what are we' anxiety, and whatever resolution finally arrives. Calling it an arc treats the situationship as a story with a beginning, middle, and end — which, let's be honest, it always is. The DTR arc might end in commitment, in heartbreak, or in the mutual decision that neither of you can be bothered to have the conversation.
Six months of situationship chaos and now a whole relationship — that was quite a DTR arc to witness.
