“Then don’t assume. If you’re not sure, ask me. But right now, I’ll be clear so you don’t have to ask. I don’t do casual, I don’t do open, I don’t just consider ‘hanging out’ when I’m sleeping with someone. That’s never worked for me, and I don’t like the idea of it now. Especially not with you. You’re going to need to tell me if that works for you. If it doesn’t, I’ll be disappointed, but I’ll understand, and we can remain friends.”
