We all know how the story goes - you meet a guy, you start hanging out with him after long nights out and maybe even during daylight hours, you exchange texts a few days a week and things seem to be pretty casual. Nothing too serious, right?

But then, you text him first asking to hang out. All of a sudden his world is turned upside down. He doesn't know how to react. What did that message mean? Is she in love with me? Oh, god she's in love with me. I need to get out of this and fast (this is just how I assume a man's thought process goes). Then instead of him replying back "Sure" or "Sorry, I'm busy with homework tonight," he sends you this detailed message that probably sounds something along the lines of the following.

"I'm not at a place in my life to have a relationship right now and sometimes when you text me asking to hang out it makes me feel like we're dating. Sorry if I led you on but I'm not looking to date you, and I feel like that's where you thought this was going."

I'm sorry sir, but where in my text did it say I wanted to date you? The message I sent was "Hey want to hang out tonight?" Not "Hey want to get married and have my babies?". But O.K.

In my opinion, our generation has this insanely odd double standard with dating. Why is it when a guy texts a girl to hang out it comes off as a "booty call" or "hook up" but when a girl texts a guy it comes off as clingy or an act of desperation? It might come off as a huge shock but some of us girls are actually able to be friends with a guy without falling head over heels for them! Crazy, right?

Maybe it's your own insecurities or huge ego that make you think this way, or maybe its a pride thing. Does it make you feel better about yourself to assume things because you are afraid of the truth? Or are you all just really that dumb and think the slightest bit of attention from a woman means they want you to buy a ring and propose tomorrow?

I truly am sorry if this hurts to hear but I never wanted to date you and I never will. Stop assuming that being bored on a Sunday night meant that I was looking for something more than what I actually was. People crave human interaction, it's pure psychology and nothing more.

So stop assuming that I want to date you because odds are, I don't.
