just because.

Dear you,

JUST BECAUSE I'm single, doesn't mean that I'd like to hook up with every guy I meet.

JUST BECAUSE I'm single, doesn't mean that I'm desperate in having a relationship.

JUST BECAUSE I'm single, doesn't give you the right to push me away from my friends.

I like the fact that I'm single. I like the fact that I don't have commitments towards a person. I like the fact that I don't get romantically attached to guys that easily. I like the fact that I can hang out with other guys without feeling guilty. I like the fact that I don't have to hang on to my phone 24/7. I like the fact that I don't feel sad all the time. I like the fact that I can honestly say that I'm not in love with anybody. I like the fact that I don't get heartbreaks every second of my day. I like the condition I am in, now. I like it. No matter how you don't believe me, try. Because I am honestly, sincerely, and without a doubt, content with my relationship status.

Yes, I flirt, I text, I call, I date. But falling in love is not an option for me.

So, please, do me a favor? Please understand that, even if I reply your texts and I pick up your calls and I agree on going on dates with you, there is nothing more to it. I like having a lot of friends. And that's all I see in you, a friend. I have no intention in turning us into something. Cuz that's how I see us, as friends. I'm sorry if you think I lead you on. It wasn't part of my intention. I never knew you'd think that way.

So stop being so possessive. I am not anyone's girlfriend, not anyone's fiance, and certainly not anyone's wife. So please let me live in peace. Stop calling me every minute of the day, or text me when you want to go out with somebody, or even get 'jealous' when I talk to some other guy. Because, frankly, YOU HAVE NO RIGHT AT ALL.

And trust me on this, honey. Even if I myself haven't found the right guy, there is a better girl for you out there. I'm not the kind of girl you'd want. I've got the word 'trouble' written all over my forehead. I have issues that yet to be resolved. And there are things...things that I can't tell. Not now. But in time, I will.

Dear, you'll find the right one, and it's not me. Try not to fall in love when you're lonely, but when you're ready. Okay? You're a friend. And I've told you since the start of our friendship, that I can't possibly romantically love someone I've considered a friend. That is why, with all my love, and wishing you all the best, I have to ask you to stop hoping :')
