Like, why did she turn me down there? Like, what was the deal? There's a part of them that have to be that. And when you've never really had to understand men, when you choose the guy, all of a sudden you have to understand their behaviors a little bit more and make some good decisions. And sometimes that can be difficult for people. So I try to make it fun.

And not to say that I couldn't be, but on my one-on-ones, I definitely am. I'm understanding and empathetic. But in general, you kind of have to look in the mirror.

You know, like that right there is a basic level of like framework of accountability. Like you don't do six month situationships with a dude when you're looking for commitment as a whole doesn't work. The fact that you actually had control whether this goes to a situationship or not. It's not just on the man because he led you down a situationship. You kind of stayed.

A situationship is basically anything besides relationship. And if we're getting very general about that, that's a very general framework, right? Like it's anything besides relationship. You know, you hang out a lot, no commitment. You do friendly stuff together. It's, you know, maybe you sleep together or whatever. But there's all these other things where there's no commitment.
