why can't people just be rational and logical in their love lives? or at least honest. this is not a movie, this is real life dammit.

there are at least two relationship lies that I don't believe:

one: I'm just not ready for a serious relationship right now.

this either means "... with you." or "I want to fuck around some more" or both.

two: I don't really see myself falling in love with you, because there's not the "spark".

riiiight. because you can totally 100% predict the future. well, gee, if you aren't open to it, then wow, maybe it won't happen. this is just one of those things that annoys me because it shows the person saying it is a romantic. Like, ok, you can't fall in love with someone because they are too fat or too stupid or too ugly or too annoying, that's fine.

another "favorite" is "I don't want to ruin our friendship". this basically means "I don't find you sexually attractive."

how about you guys?

See I don't know, I think that the rewards of being in a relationship with someone who is right for you, but you aren't "ready", far outweigh the disadvantages. Obviously if someone just doesn't make you feel that way then it doesn't matter if you're ready or not.
