The ftm guy I was dating played the "let's just be friends" card on me and I was (still am) far too stuck on him to either be okay with that OR cut things off with him. He's sending me adorable pictures of his dog and talking to me all the time and I love it but also every other day I lie on the floor and cry about wanting him this badly when he doesn't seem to want me.
Getting involved with other people fucking SUCKS man. I understand why people do it and I'm not going back to avoiding relationships like I did my whole life until a few months ago, but it does suck.
