Your actions never matched your words.
You did everything that a boyfriend would do.
You introduced her to your friends and invited her to join the group on drunken weekends.

You texted her all day long and hung out with her whenever you had the chance.
You treated her like she was already your girlfriend but you refused to part from your single status.
You stayed a bachelor.
You refused to admit that there was something real between the two of you.
You refused to take a chance and let her fully into your heart.
You decided to hurt her because you were too afraid of getting hurt yourself.

If you agreed to date her, nothing would have changed.
At least, nothing betweenthe two of youwould have changed.
You were already acting like a couple.
Everyone in your life already knew about her.
If you graduated fromjust friendsto officially dating, nothing would be different.
The only thing that would have changed was the way that you behaved when shewasntaround.
You wouldnt be able to flirt with other girls behind her back anymore.
You would have to stop looking for new people to hook up with on weekends.
You would be stuck with her, your options would no longer be open.
And you would no longer be able to get away with leaving her hanging.
You wouldnt have a good excuse for bailing on plans with her or for spending the holidays without her.
You would have to stop being so damnselfish.
You would actually have to grow the fuck up.
You would actually have to treat her right.
But since you werent ready for that kind of responsibility, you left her wondering what she did wrong.
You lowered her self-worth, tortured her with false hope, muddled her idea of love.
You never actually dated her, because you wanted to feel guilt-free when you left her behind.
You still broke her heart.
You still hurt a girl who never deserved it.
