If you like someone, don’t pretend you don’t.
And bang goes the intimate mystery.
Going to the movies with someone doesn’t mean you’re signing a marriage license.
This is true. But going to the movies does mean you will sit next to someone for two hours not talking to them, probably watching some other (much hotter) couple making out/f*cking, while you don't make out/f*ck.
Movie dates are possibly the worst dates.
We have all had relationships that failed. If you use those problems to justify your twisted actions in every future romantic encounter, you will waste many potentially successful relationships.
Actually reasonably sound advice.
No one deserves anything less than your utmost respect.
Not technically true. Those who grant utmost respect deserve utmost respect.
If you know that you are dragging someone along for selfish reasons, put yourself in his or her shoes and do the decent thing. Just be honest.
Again, not bad advice here. More hassle than it's worth.
