Not quite in a relationship and not quite single? We get it. You've met someone and just when you're still getting used to writing 2015 as the year, all of a sudden it's Valentine's Day. What do you do when you just want to be friends? Or when you want a lot more? Or you just met and have no idea where it's going? Instead of heading to the best candy store or adult store, choose one of these gifts for that "it's complicated" person in your life, whether it's a friend with benefits or someone you just met online and are not sure what to get them.
