I don't want to date anyone.
I want to fake-date someone.
Without the romantic subtext of the run-of-the-mill rom-com.
I want all the perks of dating
- a best friend
- someone to snuggle with
- getting to do cool things together
- cute nothing-y things that only couples have an excuse to do
Without all the sucky parts
- romantic complications
- awkwardness
- not feeling like you can ask what they actually think
Though most of those are hardly universal
I am an anomaly.
A piece with no puzzle of origin.
A stand alone movie, where a sequel was attempted but abandoned, but everyone loves it just the way it is.
It's probably best left just as it is anyway.
I want all of the parts of dating that involve the sweet nothings of the couple but without the permanency. You both know it could end and welcome it. I feel too boxed in by questionable endings and lock-in contracts. Even when that's not entirely what they are.
Because maybe, in the end, I just don't deserve a love.
