Dear Boys,

Let's be frank: Nine times out of ten, you suck at communication. Granted, that is a stereotype, but in my experience, it has held pretty true. We, the girls you romantically pursue, literally have no idea of your feelings or what you want. Why? Because you don't tell us. This means we are inevitably lead on and hurt, time after time. And frankly, I'm sick of it.

I'm sick of chasing boys. I'm sick of not being told what I'm doing wrong, or if anything is even happening. Sure this is college, and the age of the hookup culture is upon us, but seriously, just be honest with us. We don't deserve to be lied to time after time, and we hate thinking we have a chance when we don't. If you tell us right off the bat what you want and how you feel about us, I can guarantee things won't be as messy and as complicated as they have been.

Truthfully, I'm sick of not feeling good enough, and this culture of being left on read constantly, then waltzing right back in like you haven't ignored me for four days is getting old. This isn't how you form meaningful relationships and friendships, let alone show a girl you like her. We get not knowing your feelings, trust us, we're girls. But if we have to learn how to be open with ourselves, especially when it comes to you, why can't you do the same? Don't double tap our latest gram pic, send us a text. Ask us out for coffee. We aren't mind readers. Give us something to work with!

Guys, get your shit together before we do it for you.

Sincerely,

The girls who are sick of not knowing how you feel
