Why you shouldnât ask âare you together?â, but âare you open to?â or donât ask it at all! And why you should always ask back: âWhy?â âWhat do you mean, together?â
Why do you actually ask someone if they are âin a relationshipâ? To congratulate them, ask if youâre invited to the wedding and wish many children? Of course they are in a relationship. Everybody is.
âDo you two team up?â âNot necessarily, why?â âBecause I have no partner for the night and was wondering whether youâre open.â What do people actually want to know when they see people attached to each other and ask âAre you togetherâ?
Is it reassuring their conservative monogamist gaze? Putting people into boxes? Not knowing that they might push others into uncomfortable stereotypes. Is it jealousy? Checking for possibilities? Why would you do that before even getting to know them? You could also ask for a hug, if youâre starving for affection.
I want to cuddle my friends without being pushed to go home with them. Why do you have to know whether I am in some sort of relationship? What do you mean relationship? Do you mean, if we fuck? Well, this is none of your business if you are not interested in participating. Iâm happy if youâre interested and happy to introduce you to my world, but please stop asking this shit.
Why you shouldnât kiss them every time you say goodbye and hello but kiss everybody when you say goodbye and hello or donât kiss when you greet at all
Sometimes I really hate this. The hello and the goodbye kiss. What is it good for? If you wanted to kiss me all the time and now had to do it before I went, please donât hesitate next time. If I'm so happy to see you and couldn't wait to kiss you, please don't stop me. But what is the purpose of marking me with a kiss when I leave a group? Especially when youâre the only one kissing me on the lips. Just donât do it except you were starving for one more kiss. I feel awful when being marked with a âWe are in a relationship, so we kiss each other for greetingâ-sign. I hate it. Instead think of what you really need in the hello/goodbye situation. It might also be a hug, a handshake or waving goodbye.
Why you should kiss them any time you want to instead
I think kisses are like sex. You should not have them if you donât really want them. And you should really have them if you really want them.
Why you should invite them to your parents and invite all other friends too
Because you would invite all other good friends, too. Why make an exception or some sort of ceremony for that one person? Just make it a nice little encounter with cool people.
Why you should move together and move out again as often as you wish
Really, there is nothing wrong with moving together with a friend. As there is nothing wrong with moving out again as long as you understand each other. Why not?
How to describe me in conversations
Please don't refer to me as anybody's girlfriend. I don't belong to nobody. I will try finding different ways to talk about you, too.
