Today, we turn to one of the great movies of the late 20th century: 10 Things I Hate About You.
Bianca: There’s a difference between like and love. Because, I like my Sketchers, but I love my Prada backpack.
Chastity: But I love my Sketchers.
Bianca: That’s because you don’t have a Prada backpack.
It’s important to know the difference between “like” and “love.” Or in this case, “strong feelings”…
Well, at least he knew his priorities.
Sometimes, we all need some space.
Sometimes, taking that space makes you an insensitive jerk.
Wow! Turns out finishing a masters program makes one busy. But I’m happy to report the degree is complete, and I’ve bid goodbye to bonny Scotland and returned to the hustle and bustle of New York City. And that means back to business! We’ll be switching our posts to every Tuesday and Thursday, so that I can expend some of my TMXS energy on developing some new plans for the site. More to come on that soon.
But now, the reason why we’re all here. The quote of the day! So, are you ready?
In all honesty, some people take a long-ass time to get ready. She could be one of those people. But this guy still sounds like a tool. Nap time? Wake up, dude, and recognize all that fuss was for you! Next, she’ll take less time and he’ll tell her she’s letting herself go.

There are several elements to this submission that (for me, at least) make it one of our most confusing, ever.
Wait a minute… did he just accuse her of being a rapist? Is she a rapist? If the genders were reversed, would we perceive this scenario differently? Somehow, since she was the one who submitted this quote, I suspect she had no idea he wasn’t into their physical relationship. But seriously. What the hell is going on there? Why was he having sex with her? Guys, gals, folks in between: don’t have sex with people you don’t want to have sex with! Relationships are complicated enough.
Or what if she was, like, his dominatrix or something, and this was part of their role play….

Children clearly fall under the category of Very Big Deal. Nevermind your own, putting up with somebody else’s kids would be a lot to ask.
But there has to be a better way to say this.

Fatalistic, much? 
Listen, honey. It’s me or solitude for the rest of your life. Peace out.

Girl dates boy. Boy dumps girl. Boy gets beat up in a fight. Boy asks girl to come see him in the hospital. Girl takes an hour-long taxi ride by herself to come visit boy.

Boy either wore off the meds, or fails at expressing himself, completely.

It’s good for people to understand their priorities in relationships.

This has got to be one of the hands down worst ways of explaining to someone that she isn’t pretty enough to be your girlfriend. Also, this whole list thing is just pretty cringe-y in general. Might as well call this “10 Things I Wish I Loved About You.”

In every casual dating situation, there comes that moment when it’s time to take the next step and become exclusive.
…Or not.

May that little hardened lump of carbon bring him much happiness. This lady will never look at the Tiffany’s shop window in the same way again.

It’s always extra awkward to break up with someone around a major holiday or birthday, anniversary, etc. But when you add in the complication of a terrible disease? The rules of conduct just don’t exist.

You want to feel bad for her. And him. But not him. But her. But him. But fuck him! But how can you say fuck him? He has cancer! My brain! It’s melting! My compassion doesn’t know what to do with this situation! I’m going cross-eyed.
How about this. Don’t use people? Period. Live life to the fullest extent you can, and if your fullest life isn’t envisioned with that supportive person, let that person go. Or if you get a new chance at life, live it with integrity… but maybe figure it out before you accept all the birthday presents.
