Dear guy I am “almost” exclusive with,
I love laughing with you about anything and everything. I love being able to make fun of you, and you dish it right back out at me. I love holding your hand and talking about whatever crosses our mind at that exact second. I love talking about how our days went and doing little things for each other, just to try to make the other smile. We have a ton of fun together. But, I hate the unsettling feeling of not knowing what the future holds.
I don’t like the idea of telling you things about me that might not even matter in a few weeks. I don’t like the idea of getting close to someone who isn’t sure if they want to stick around. I know we don’t know each other super well, but I get this feeling around you, as cliche as it sounds.
I know you’re afraid, so am I. We’ve both been through our fair share of rocky ventures in the dating world. But I promise, with us, it won’t be like that. I don’t want to do the typical dating thing that scares our generation away from the thought of having a significant other.
I don’t need fancy dinners or you to be attached at my hip. I’m totally fine eating mac-and-cheese on the kitchen floor and seeing each other whenever we have time. Actually, I totally prefer that. I don’t need you to buy me gifts and stress out about how you’re going to make me happy. Let’s buy each other ice cream or tickets to a baseball game. Focus on your schoolwork and your friends; I’ll focus on the same, and we will be happy.
I don’t want to be your girlfriend to get flowers and have someone to depend on. With you, I want to be interdependent. I want to help each other stand on our bad days and make the good days even better. I am the most low-key girl, and all I need to be happy is you. I don’t want you to be my whole life, and I don’t want to be yours.
But, falling for you and trying to navigate the unsaid is terrifying. I want to be your girlfriend, just so I know that this is for real. I want to know that I can trust you, and that you do want the same things that I want.
From,
The girl who really likes you.
