These Are The Types Of Words You Should Be Sent

You’ve been left on read again by someone you had a great date with last Saturday night. The person you thought loved you with the same fervor that you loved them dumped you via text for someone else after months of sharing days spent at museums, afternoons exchanging family life stories, and nights spent bearing your body and soul while excitedly playing Call Of Duty and watching Netflix. The person you’d been excitedly exchanging messages on Ok Cupid with texts you after a lukewarm date and opts out of a relationship with you because you didn’t meet their standards of beauty after all. Answers of K show up in a blue box at the bottom of heartfelt messages detailing what you love about someone you’d recently fallen for. Angry words of defensiveness and emojis with reddened, furious faces flick across your phone’s screen when you ask someone you’d been seeing weekly about why they always want to see you for a 10 PM hook-up instead of a 10 AM breakfast. Mockery of your love of the Jonas Brother’s newest album and your overall “basic” tastes come up after you suggest going to a concert for date night with a new romantic prospect.
