Point: I Want a Situationship / Counterpoint: I Think I’m in Love with Her

Point: I Want a Situationship 

Look, it’s been a couple months since Geoffreigh and I broke up, and while I’m not ready for anything serious, a girl gets lonely sometimes. What harm can a fun, fresh fling do? 

My plan is simple: My old lab partner invited me to her annual Thanksgiving bonanza at her apartment. I’m going to show up with a big platter of my grandmother’s pear pumpkin spice popovers and sweep her almost (we’re not looking for commitment here) off her feet with my delicious cooking and delectable family recipes. 

She’ll tell me to come by sometime and bake with her (wink wink, nudge nudge), and the rest will be history. Nothing could possibly go wrong. No strings, no problem, ya know? 

Counterpoint: I Think I’m in Love with Her

Problem. Biiiiig problem. It’s just–she’s so funny and nice! Being in a situationship is so much easier when they’re not a good person. Sharon literally fosters rescued monitor lizards, and she lets me pet them. Apparently it’s “good for their socialization.” They’re a little slippery, and they don’t really like my popovers, but she gets really happy when I ask if I can hold them. It’s almost better than the sex. Her being happy. Not the lizards. 

I guess I like the lizards too. 

Fuuuuuck. 

Fuck.
