you know when you’re on a date with someone that you’ve been out with a few times before casually, and you are at his house watching movies or something and you start fooling around a bit and it’s really nice and then things start progressing quickly and getting a little intense and you are into it but keep thinking ‘i really don’t want to have sex tonight because if i do he will probably respect me less and assume that it’s the reason that i came over in the first place and then i might start worrying that sex is the only reason that he invited me over, not to mention the fact even if he doesn’t think that i’m easy i will respect myself significantly less and get awkward afterwords and probably start avoiding him in order to hide my awkwardness and i don’t want that to happen because so far i really like this guy but if i come right out and tell him that i don’t want to have sex he might think that i am being coy or misinterpret it to mean that i am looking for something really serious which i’m not necessarily but it might freak him right out and then i could never hear from him again…’ and while this whole thought process is going on you’re still making out but you are preoccupied with trying to figure out how to approach the situation diplomatically but without giving any wrong impressions and then he says, “i’m really glad you came over but i don’t think i want to have sex tonight.” and instead of realizing that maybe he was having the same thought process as you and that now you are off the hook and everything is perfect you think: a) he just stole my line and b) why the fuck not?!
this kind of thing happens to everyone right? it’s not just me?
this is why i’m still single.
