There are lots of reasons why dating doesn't work out: he's just too busy or he's just too available, he's too interested or he's too distant, he's too boring or he's too intense, he's too nice or he's too self-centered. Either way, it's him.

Why he won't call/stop calling and reach out/give me space?

In related news, an entire bag of gummy bears does not unlock that combination.

It's the specificity that makes it so profound.

I wish my dreams would just leave me alone.

Expectations are everything. Only in the world of first dates does "not horrible" count as a rave review.

Can someone be hot on paper?
