“They’re nice in the beginning. All men. And then they change. Once they get comfortable, they start wanting guys’ night five nights a week, and they take calling for granted, and they don’t want to cook dinner for you anymore. They forget to compliment you, and they never really ask how you’re doing. They all change. Why should he be different from the others? Eventually, he’ll change too. He likes me now because I am the mysterious. But as soon as I’m the girlfriend, and he sees me without makeup and he knows that I wake up at least once a night to pee, the mystery will be over. He’ll take me for granted and freak out whenever the “m” word comes up. He’ll call whenever he feels like it, and he won’t care about how my day went. He’ll lose interest in my candid photos, and getting him to hang out with my friends will be asking him to spend time with imprisoned murderers on visitors’ day. And then … I will be madly in love with him. Obsessed. It’s human nature.”’ - Always the Bridesmaid by Whitney Lyles
