- I'm not quite sure why I haven't accepted your friend request yet; why I've left your message unopened. I hate that I have such a bad stereotype about girls: how guys are easy to shake off, easy just to get a casual kiss out of and then understand that you don't want anything else, but girls are clingy, needy, easily hurt, automatically expecting a relationship from a kiss. I know I shouldn't think that way and I know you're only single since August and you're probably as cool as you are cute. But I'm wary..

-We had sex on Sunday and we haven't talked since Sunday night. Is this because I'm waiting for you to say something, or you're waiting for me to say something? I don't regret it; it was fun, casual, I feel old enough to not feel guilty and slutty about a spontaneous decision like that any more. And I'm not crazy about you, it wouldn't be the end of the world if I didn't hear from you again. But I do like you and I would like to..... and we were on a good buzz. What's happened?

- WHAT was with last night?? When have you EVER wanted to go home first?? I can't help thinking it was because me and her were cuddled up on the sofa and you were on the other side of me with your hand on my leg and then suddenly telling me that you wanted to go - and you knew I wouldn't let you fucking walk home (how come you could afford pints but not a taxi for three miles?) And then in the taxi you started telling me how she's a liar and secretly seeing some other girl and lying about it - I don't care, I don't want a RELATIONSHIP with her, she was just cute enough to kiss. It's usually me wanting to go and you begging me to stay out, to have more fun, to stay somewhere else.

Stop. You don't own me. And just because I'm single now for the first time since you've known me doesn't change anything.
