You didnt date her, but you shared your secrets with her.
You told her things no one else knew about you.
You treated her like she meant something.

Like you actually cared about her, like you wanted to keep her in your life.
You didnt date her, but you cuddled with her.
You slept with her.

You saw her at her most vulnerable and made her feel safe.
You didnt date her, but you gave her every reason to think that one day, youwoulddate her.
You made her believe it was only a matter of time until you two became a couple.

You didnt date her, but you still hurt her.
And you should still take responsibility for what youve done.
It doesnt matter whether you were her official boyfriend or if you refused to give your relationship a title.

You still led her on.
You still broke her heart.
So when you start dating a new girl, dont act like shes crazy or clingy or obsessive.
Technically, its true.
But at the same time, its not.
Because you let her get close to you.
You let her fall in love with you.
No, you didnt date her, but you became emotionally attached to each other.
You created a serious connection.
Thats why she deserves an explanation.
Because if you do that, shes going to question every moment she shared with you.
Shes going to look back and reinterpret all of your conversations, your looks, your body language.
Shes going to think shes a complete idiot for ever believing you cared about her.
Shes going to assume she made everything up.
But, the thing is, youtreatedher like your girlfriend.
Shes not psycho for feeling like you betrayed her.
She deserves to know.
