You dont want to break a heart on accident.
If your schedule is free, you figure you might as well spend some time with them.
You might as well go out.

But if hanging out with them was an inconvenience, it would be another story.
You wouldnt go out of your way to see them.
You only see them when it fits comfortably into your schedule.
Youknowthat your feelings arent as strong as theirs, so you feel guilty about letting them fawn over you.
And when they bring up the future, you want to slam the brakes.
You only answer their texts when they initiate the conversation.When they send you a message, you feel special.
You feel a little ego boost.
But when they arent around, you pretty much forget that they exist.
It never crosses your mind to send the first message.
You only interact with them when theyre the one tracking you down.
Otherwise, you’re able to go days (or even weeks) without speaking.
And you wont even realize until they point it out.
Youre doing all the talking in the conversations.They keep asking you questions to learn more about you.
But you never ask the same questions in return.
You use them as a soundboard to hear yourself talk.
Its a one-sided conversation every single time and not because theyre only giving you one word answers.
Its because you arent bothering to ask them how theyre feeling or whats been going on in their lives.
You like talking to them because they give you attention but you never give them the same attention back.
You arent remembering any important details because you arent really invested when theyre speaking.
Youre simply waiting for your turn to speak.
Everything that they say goes in one ear and out the other.
You dont know much about them because you dontcareto know much about them.
You dont mind knowing them on a superficial level because your feelings arent there.
