You Just Want To Be Friends… For Now
That was a great date! Wasn’t that a great date? I’m usually not this emotionally diuretic, it’s just…that was a great date! It’s been so long since I’ve met anyone I actually like who isn’t a complete and total mess. We should really go out again sometime! I’m sorry, what did you say? I was too busy thinking of what to name our children to listen to you. You think I’m “awesome?” Ugh. Okay, just to be clear, do you mean “awesome” like Sean Connery as James Bond or like Timothy Dalton as James Bond? Dalton, got it. Okay, well, I guess you can’t win ‘em all. Let’s definitely be friends! Wait, what was that last part you said? What does the “…for now” mean? Are you asking me to pine over you like Taylor Swift for the rest of our lives, relegating me to some sort of quasi-romantic limbo because you think someone better might come along? Are you also trying to keep me around in the event you give up on finding the man of your dreams should you realize you’re chasing an impossible fantasy and tell yourself “I’ll do?” You know, this isn’t some sitcom where you can jerk me around for several seasons. Clearly we didn’t have as serendipitous a connection as I thought, because nobody I’m meant to be with would ever suggest I simmer on the back burner. Hope you’re happy with whoever this other…wait…you’ve already told them you “just want to be friends…for now” because you met someone else? Well you certainly work fast. I’m outraged…and kind of turned on.
