After all, when someone rejects you right away, at least you know where you stand with them.
At least youre getting the bandaid ripped off immediately instead of suffering.
You know that you shouldnt spend any more time chasing after this person.
Lucas Newton
When you get stuck in an almost relationship, the rejection is drawn out and slow.
Your heart breaks little by little.
It breaks every time they leave you onread.Every time they flirt with someone else.
Every time they cancel plans.
Did you do something wrong?
Is there something youre lacking?
Should you be texting them more?
Or texting them less?
You start second guessing everything about yourself.
At least when youre rejected on the spot, you might tell yourself that you were a bad match.
When you get stuck in an almost relationship, youre in a constant state of confusion.
The highs are extremely high, but the lows are extremely low.
They speak in riddles.
Or they make promises they break.
Their actions rarely match their words so its hard to figure out where you stand with them.
You dont want to get impatient and walk away when this person needs a little more time.
You dont want to make them uncomfortable by rushing them along when they would rather move slowly.
But you also dont want to waste your time if theyre never going to be ready for a relationship.
Almost relationships are worse than rejection because they give you false hope.
They make you believe that youre going to end up living happily ever after with this person.
They make you think that its only a matter of time before you make your label official.
So you keep waiting and waiting and get disappointed again and again.
They keep promising you tomorrow but tomorrow never comes.
Theres always another excuse.
