The only times I’ve ever held hands with a man
Has been because I’m skating and horrible at it
(I meant it every time though)
A boy hasn’t had a crush on me in ten years
(And I hated myself back then—
Is this the price of being loved?)
I can’t get a DTR
I can’t EVEN get past a third date
My teenage roommates turn to their twenty-six-year-old mother for dating advice
Obviously
Because look how well it’s working out for me
