Things That Feel Like A Personal Call-Out If You’re Always In ‘Almost-Relationships’
People think that there's a clear difference between being "single" and "in a relationship," but they forget that there is a horrible gray area in between them: the almost-relationship, where you're seeing someone and have feelings, but there's never any commitment.
As someone who has had my fair share of "situationships," I must concede they are a different type of agonizing, and these tweets about them feel are so accurate, they hurt.
It Works For Everything Else In My Life!
The second I actually start to develop real feelings for a man, he suddenly isn't looking for a relationship and actually just wants something casual. Maybe I should tell COVID-19 that I want to be exclusive with it.
I've Thrown Every Bone I Can Manage
You know when you like someone so you find yourself making every possible compromise in order to keep them in your life only for them to still ask for more? Same.
Time To Stalk
If anything, I stalk a man to make sure he's faithful even more when he's not even committed to me yet, but he definitely should be. I mean, I've already become too emotionally invested to lose him to Kelly.
Ahaha, Silly Me!
If it walks like it wants to date you exclusively and talks like it wants to date you exclusively, you'd think that they'd really feel that way, but you would be incorrect.
This Is The Only Reason I'm Single!
The only reason there is not a man devoted to me and me alone is that I am trying to be a good citizen and avoid contracting/spreading a deadly virus! Not because every man I like decides he's not interested in dating me long-term!
You Can Thank Me When You Meet The Love Of Your Life
It's actually uncanny how many men I've dated for a while only for them to break up with me and instantly meet the woman they want to marry! I'm starting to think I'm cursed.
Hey Trojan, What's Up With That?
What's the point of wearing protection if my little heart still can get stepped on after the fact anyway? Chlamydia heals with just a little medication, but it takes weeks to overcome heartbreak!
Back At It Again!
It's the circle of dating life: you meet someone, you really click for a while, and then, after talking for a month or two, you both decide that you don't want to see each other long-term. Rinse and repeat.
We Were All Rooting For You, Sir!
It really goes like that: the second you tell people you've found a good match for yourself, he decides to disappear. Well, if he hurts your heart, you deserve to make his pockets hurt.
We Were A Nearly Perfect Pair
There's nothing like meeting a man, catching feelings, and then finding yourself in a weird situationship where he's not committed to you but also gaslights you into feeling you're crazy for demanding exclusivity, am I right, ladies?
It Just Seems Unfair
I'm a smart, hot, talented, interesting person with a lot to offer in relationships, and yet somehow I have no boyfriend while Becky who thinks doing yoga and working for a pyramid scheme is a personality has men lining up for her.
Me When I Think That He'll Commit Eventually
A man will tell me that he "really likes being with me, but is not ready to be in a relationship," and my stupid self will stick around waiting for him to commit (spoiler alert: he never will).
I Swear It's A Game To Them
Here's the annoying part: a man will make it perfectly clear that he has no intention of actually dating you, but he also won't want anyone else to date you either.
I Too Am A Foster Girlfriend
It really sometimes feels like I'm the girlfriend men pick up because they're bored and then immediately ditch me the second they decide they've found something better—and it's always a woman with lip fillers.
Feel Free To Laugh At Me
After years of mishaps and heartbreak in my romantic history, it's really starting to feel like my dating life is one long joke that the universe watches like a sitcom.
Reality Never Lives Up To Expectations
When I was a kid, I really thought that I would be married, or at least engaged, by the time I was 24. In reality, I still have no money, no dating prospects, and no serotonin in my brain.
Then Again, It's Partially My Fault
I could try to play off my tendency to end up in non-relationships with guys who won't commit, but I also have to admit my tragic tendency to want men who clearly are wrong for me.
...At This Point, I Do It To Myself
I've been down this road so many times that I can probably recognize all the red flags that a guy is not actually going to get into a relationship with me, but I actively choose to be colorblind and ignore them!
Because, Really, Not Being In Turmoil Is Boring
Do I hate the horrible agony of wanting someone who doesn't want the same things as me? Yes. Do I hate feeling nothing at all more? You can bet on it.
Besides, There Is Hope
It can feel like there's no such thing as a happy ending, but then, every once in a while, proof arises that some men are more than willing to go the extra mile. Maybe one day I'll be in that position too.
