Grabbing a cup of coffee in the middle of the workday to talk about your favorite TV shows, friend gossip, and weekend plans.

I might be able to hold myself back from texting you, but it doesn’t matter, because I’ll end up liking one of your statuses or commenting on a picture or watching one of your Snapchat stories. That small, seemingly meaningless gesture lets you know I’m thinking of you. It gives my feelings away.

You use humor as a shield. When he says something super sweet, you’ll roll your eyes instead of telling him how adorable he is. You’re more comfortable with sarcasm than sentimentalism.

“You have no idea how beautiful you are.”

Leo: He’s sending mixed signals, because he wants your attention, but he doesn’t want to date you. He just wants you to inflate his ego.

Confusion. If he cares about you, he won’t send mixed signals. He won’t give vague answers when you ask him where he’s going. He’ll be completely honest with you, because he knows you deserve the truth.

I want to know what it feels like to patiently wait for a text. To know that it’s going to come, even if it takes a full hour to get to me. To be freak-out-free, because I don’t have any doubt in my mind that he’s thinking of me, that he’ll talk to me the second that he gets the chance.

Don’t make her feel like a toy. Like she’s being used. Make it clear that you care about her and her orgasm.

You know how some people never stop talking about their boyfriends? You’re like that, except with work. You’re always ranting or bragging or whining about it.

You’re ready to get serious. You’re done with casual sex. You’re ready to move in with someone. Ready to wake up next to someone. Ready to start your life with someone.

“He was raping his sister and then he got her pregnant. They did DNA testing to confirm it was his when the baby was born.”

“Landed on moon. It’s hatching.”
