We've all been there. That awkward stance straddling the line between total strangers and #relationshipgoals, also known as "the talking phase." You're not technically dating, but by now you're knee deep in the feels and have even gone as far as to name your firstborn after his beloved grandmother. As much as you want to believe things are gonna work out, you know when he takes more than five minutes to text back, he's probably swiping right on Tinder. Boys have a tendency to frustrate the ever-living, ever-loving, compound, complex HECK out of me. However, when I'm feeling low, I reach out to the only two men a girl can truly rely on, Ben & Jerry, and crawl into bed for an uninterrupted marathon of "Parks & Rec." No one describes "the talking phase" quite like Leslie Knope...
When you send a risky text and he doesn't reply immediately.
When you're creeping on Insta and find pics of his ex who could easily pass for a Victoria's Secret angel and you look like a pre-pubescent boy.
