The name of the guy youreseriouslyinto appears.
You slide bring up the message.
You start to bang out a reply.
God & Man
Youareup, after all.
Maybe he needs something!
Maybe he just wants to talk!
But then you stop yourself.
Because youre not naive, not anymore.
You know how these things go.
God & Man
You know what this text means.
After all, youve gone through this game before.
You know that any message after midnight is a booty call.
It has nothing to do with you.
Its about your body.
Its about him being drunk and lonely and just wanting to fool around.
But it never does, not to him.
Because when you text him the next day, he takes longer than usual to reply.
Sometimes, he never replies at all and you never see or hear from him again.
And all thats left for you to do is to pick up the pieces of what was.
I know after this happens its easy to become bitter and beat down by modern dating.
It sucks, dont be mistaken, but it isokay.
Because there are also so many guys out there who will want something serious with you.
There are so many guys who will want to hear about your day.
Yes, they can feel more difficult to find, but they do exist.
They are out there.
So, yo, dont let horny dudes ruin dating for you.
Dont let jerks make you think that love is dead.
And like dont let being heartbroken over a good person think youre not good enough.
So on that Saturday night when he texts You Up?
You know that sex wont make him stay.
You acknowledge you want a relationship, a real relationship.
You want a chance at love.
So you backspace your text and put him on read.
You flip over your phone.
Youre disappointed, but you dont fall apart.
