Honestly...?!

People need to start being more honest, or call it sincere. In social interactions there is no need for lying or to put it nicely, letting things slip your mind. I am aware that we all do it on the regular bases because it makes life easier and I guess as long as it’s inconsequential that’s actually fine. If we addressed everything head on we would be sorting more problems out than we would actually enjoy life. But when it comes to essential facts or serious issues why not just mention them or talk about it.

I know I can get on people’s nerves and I personally have made peace with that. So sometimes you need to tell me to shut the f**k up. It won’t kill me, and no worries, I’d tell you too, so no harm done. If you however let me babble on and you don’t even care what I have to say but you won’t tell me, suck it up! Don’t go blowing off steam somewhere else and then it gets back to me, never a good idea.

Also, if you talk to someone at a bar and that someone tells you that your cute and keeps continuously texting you for the next couple of days, would you interpret that as some sort of interest? Yeah that’s what I thought. So how would you feel if a week later, you ask that someone to go for a drink or so and then you get awkward message slowly revealing… oh there’s someone else… sorry. Is it that hard to let such an important fact slip into the first conversation to make sure you are both on the same page? I don’t think so. I actually feel bad after talking to a girl for a few minutes at a bar and not making sure she’s aware that this couldn’t go anywhere. Even if the chances of that going anywhere were zero, it’s just honest. So I guess that was just me being a little honest and putting together what I’ve heard from friends this week or just noticed myself. Let me know what you think.

  2. I'm a big fan of being clear about your intentions, especially in relationships between single people. While there's potential to "spoil the romance" by having a DTR (Defining the Relationship conversation), it makes things a lot easier later on.

  3. I think this is a great idea, but it's never going to work. People get offended way to easily.
