“It’s complicated." I hate the saying, phrase, or whatever it is. Why can’t two people who are both available decide that they like each other and date? Why does it have to be hurdle after hurdle of games and gimmicks? For humans to be the smarter of the mammals we sure do act pretty stupid sometimes. Boy meets girl, boy likes girl, boy gets to know girl, boy asks girl out. It should be that simple, should it not? Unfortunately, that cannot be the case, leave it society to alter a relationship into something so complex from friends with benefits to “talking." What ever happened to courting someone. Why do we no longer have long drawn out conversations over the phone. A relationship does not mean the individuals have see one another everyday or talk to one another non stop. I am not saying it should be so extreme, but there are couples that risk their lives to be together. Why can we not risk a few hours of gaming or mindless social media to spend time with the person you care about.

Keeping someone in limbo will only push them away and cause them to question your true intentions. This will always be a worry no matter what you say/do for/to them. And I think the hope is the worst part. The hope that whatever the hell this will become more, that it will be a relationship that you share pictures, you make sappy statuses and post. The hope is what keeps that person hanging on and honestly it sucks. So if there is a person out there that you’ve been stringing along, just stop. Either commit or quit. That person will be distraught from the latter, but will ultimately thank you. Because a life of constant suspense is not a life and it only holds you back.
