“When everyone thinks they know you, it’s hard not to be guarded.”

I’ll miss you in the morning. Waking up alone is hard to get used to.

You can’t be the reason they decide to stop.

When someone starts out as hot, and really funny, then reveals that 90% of what they say is a complaint about work or their mother, it’s the flirtation equivalent of flat soda. Both improve slightly with vodka, but it’s still pretty unfortunate.

Your need for perfection.

You’re not scared of settling down, you’re scared of settling for obligation.

Knowing how to curse someone out in a different language is maybe not the most necessary skill in the world, but it’s not the least.

They wouldn’t follow you, but you’d follow them.

“I actually keep a handwritten list.”

60% of the time you have headphones in but aren’t listening to any music. You’re only wearing them to signify that people shouldn’t talk to you right now.

Almost break-ups still sting like any other break-up would.

We will whine about paying for beer because we’re still mourning the fact that our shift drink glory days are over.

Being anything but insanely respectful if your date drinks too much.

He has a “big reveal” in his back pocket that he alludes to every time you hang out.

Affection is becoming your currency.

Always bring dessert instead of flowers.

The “look at my kid go” phenomenon never goes away.

You’ve started to forget what places other than your own city or town look like.
