Yeah we're adults that's why you're supposed to give people time, attention, and energy. How do you know if you actually like the person or get to know the person goofy.
Y'all try to act too cool and nonchalant and that's why dating is trash now and folks using terms like love bombing. So just because I tell a chic I don't see a long term relationship I'm supposed to treat her like trash?! That's not how I operate out here. If I'm hungry and I go out to eat and want company they're going to come if I invite them. Chics might have called me a love bomber when they were mad but they can't ever say I lead them on or wasn't straight up with them.
