Today, I come to you with a bit of advice. So, all you girls with your lovey-dovey quotes about being the only star in his sky and other cliches, please read on.
For the record, I am not anti-cliche. In fact, I embrace cliches - romantic ones especially. However, there’s something I’ve noticed about girls in general that makes me wish there were someone out there to give them all a big splash in the face every once in a while to bring them back to reality.
So, getting to the point. Have you heard this song? It’s actually pretty catchy. That was me attempting to make my post relevant by tying it in to modern music. Moving on...
I’m not sure how common it is exactly, but I’ve definitely heard on more than one occasion, “I’m only gonna break your heart,” or some variation of that. You’d think that when a guy says that to a girl, the girl would be like, “Oh! Thanks for letting me know, I’ll try to stay away.” That’s not how it happens. However, I get the feeling a lot of girls somehow read this as a romantic comedy-esque, “Teach me how to love!” cry for help.
It’s not.
Please, please understand this. When a guy tells you he’s going to break your heart, he is not secretly asking you to “save” him. He is telling you that he is going to hurt you. Listen to him. It very well may be the only honest thing he ever says to you.
