It convinces us to stick around for longer than we should just in case.
It gives us false hope.
It makes us think we might have a future when you know we don’t.

Hearing yourenot ready for a relationshiphurts because most of the time its bullshit.
Its something you say when you want sex.
Something you say when you want to stayjust friends.

Someone you want in your world for now, but not forever.
Youre probably going to use our feelings for you to your advantage.
Youre probably going to string us along.

Youre probably going to sleep with us.
Hearing yourenot ready for a relationshiphurts because it makes us believe that timing is the only issue.
It convinces us to stick around for longer than we shouldjust in case.
It gives us false hope.
It makes us think we might have a future when you know we dont.
Hearing yourenot ready for a relationshiphurts because itsconfusing.
You treat us like your girlfriend, but keep reminding us that you arent interested inmakingus your girlfriend.
So where does that leave us?
Should we hold onto the hope that you are going to change your mind eventually?
Should we assume you are justpretendingyou want to stay single because you are afraid of following your heart?
Or should we take your words as the truth and disregard your actions?
Someone who makes you feel like youareready for a real relationship.
It makes us feel like we were wasting our time.
Obviously this new girl gave you things we couldnt.
Hearing yourenot ready for a relationshiphurts because it means we are never going to get together.
It means you are going to break our hearts.
