A lot of the answers are unexpected and shocking. To each its own, but for me, keeping in contact with an ex while dating someone is disrespectful. Its not even about trust. It could be my exes and i still wouldn't want them around because they are exes for a reason AND its just disrespectful to allow my past to interfere with my present/future. Like i said in #4, i intentionally end on a bad note just to let them know i dont want them in my future.

[Alyssa_11]

#1 How can you or why can’t you befriend an ex? I’m an all of nothing kind of girl.


#2 Are you currently dating, pursuing or fooling around with an ex?
Nope. Single Pringle. And thriving.


#3 How are you sure that feelings are not still lingering on their end?
I think they are 😜 I’d be if I were one of my exes. Not cause I’m that special but because the way I left each relationship was sly.


#4 Do you often end on a good note with exes?
Never ever ever. Always ends with a fight and a block button 😕. Like I said, all of nothing kind of girl.
#5 Have you ever befriended them with intentions to rekindle?
Yes I’ve done that in the past with one. Didn’t work in my favour cause I was still in love and he didn’t act right.


#6 Have you asked an ex (or accepted their offer) to be friends with benefits?
Virgin so no lol.


#7 So you're totally okay hanging out with them and their new partner?
Absolutely no. Id rather choke than see my ex with someone else. I’m the jealous type 😕. Love someone else but I want u to always be in love with me. Even if we’re over.


#8 Would you hang around an ex without your new partner?
No. My new partner comes before an ex ANY DAY. Even if my ex was my first love or whatever. I’m loyal to the core and my current boyfriend will always come first.


#9 Do you usually ask exes to take you back or do they ask to be taken back?
A bit of both. I’ve been in both situations.


#10 Would you leave or cheat on a current partner to get back with an ex?
Never. Like I said I’m loyal!


#11 Do you think its inappropriate for exes to invite or be invited to eachothers weddings?
Yeah. There’s no need for you to be in contact with your ex for whatever reason. Unless you have kids I guess.


#12 If your current/future partner matched everything you want in a person, but was not comfortable with you befriending an ex, who do you cut out of your life?
An ex of course.


#13 #WhatsTheScenario You befriended an ex. But when you get into a new relationship, the ex confesses they still love you. You turn them down. Could you possibly still remain friends after?
No. I’d cut them off because that would be disrespectful to my new relationship. Also the ex should’ve confessed their feelings before I got into a relationship. Some people just like to see how much control they have over you.

[DizzyDesii]

#1 i agree #3 lol what did u do #7 omg i agree haha #8 perfect mindset #11 yes only if they have kids but really not even then lmao. Drop the kid off for the event and keep moving 😂 #13 yep and so many continue to fall for it

[Alyssa_11]

Totally agree with the kid part 🤣🤣

I just ghosted them. That’s how I break up with them lol. I just say I don’t like u anymore *disappears*. Usually cause I’m really hurt and this is my way of hurting them back.

[DizzyDesii]

🤣🤣🤣 thats so mean. For me, i’ll suggest breaking up and they’ll say “No i think we’re doing great” then i’ll sabotage us until they finally allow me to escape 😂

[Alyssa_11]

Looool you’re quite nice about it

[WhatTheHeckkkk]

#1 How can you or why can’t you befriend an ex? It’s hard for me to just be friends with someone I once loved romantically.

#2 Are you currently dating, pursuing or fooling around with an ex? I am not currently dating or fooling around with an ex.
#3 How are you sure that feelings are not still lingering on their end? I know their feelings are lingering… Lol, he’s obsessed with me…
#4 Do you often end on a good note with exes? No, because it’s hard for me to remain friends or friendly.
#5 Have you ever befriended them with intentions to rekindle? With one of them, yes. We tried to remain friends but he was adamant about not getting back together. I had to cut off contact.
#6 Have you asked an ex (or accepted their offer) to be friends with benefits? Nope
#7 So you're totally okay hanging out with them and their new partner? NOPE
#8 Would you hang around an ex without your new partner? HELL NO!
#9 Do you usually ask exes to take you back or do they ask to be taken back? They usually ask
#10 Would you leave or cheat on a current partner to get back with an ex? HELL NO
#11 Do you think its inappropriate for exes to invite or be invited to eachothers weddings? I do think it is inappropriate unless there is children involved and/or they are family friends I suppose.
#12 If your current/future partner matched everything you want in a person, but was not comfortable with you befriending an ex, who do you cut out of your life? Nope.
#13 #WhatsTheScenario You befriended an ex. But when you get into a new relationship, the ex confesses they still love you. You turn them down. Could you possibly still remain friends after? This scenario actually happened to me. I rejecting being friends because he was interfering with my relationship and I didn’t want to regain feelings for my ex.

[DizzyDesii]

#1 i agree #3 do you tell him it isn't mutual? #5 lmao i know thats right #8 i agree #11 good reasoning #13 i dont blame you

[WhatTheHeckkkk]

#3 Yep!! Lol he still continued the obsession.. It’ll die down eventually.
You always have interesting posts, I enjoy doing them 😊

[DizzyDesii]

Aww thank you :)

[ChrisMaster69]

Here goes lol.

This survey does not refer to ex-crushes.

#1 How can you or why can’t you befriend an ex?

I am friends with Ex wife, also friends with a couple of ex’s. One ex has a restraining order for stalking.

#2 Are you currently dating, pursuing or fooling around with an ex?

No I am not, my ex wife and me had a couple of close calls with fooling around, but luckily never progressed it.

#3 How are you sure that feelings are not still lingering on their end?

Feelings were 100% there at the end, how to throw yourself under the bus and fuck your mental health lol

#4 Do you often end on a good note with exes?

For all but two

#5 Have you ever befriended them with intentions to rekindle?

no still friends but avoided getting things back on.

#6 Have you asked an ex (or accepted their offer) to be friends with benefits?

I sort of have this but this was someone I dated off and on since 16.

#7 So you're totally okay hanging out with them and their new partner?

my ex wife and ex girlfriend are very close friends, I had my ex wife stop over at Christmas, I will cross the ex wife and partner at some point, a few have been found wanting and became single, one nearly became an organ donor.

#8 Would you hang around an ex without your new partner?

Yeah I visit my ex wife and chat, even slept there a few times off n on, not a problem.

#9 Do you usually ask exes to take you back or do they ask to be taken back?

Never have, as we end mutual and remain friends it would fuck it up.

#10 Would you leave or cheat on a current partner to get back with an ex?

No I would not.

#11 Do you think its inappropriate for exes to invite or be invited to eachothers weddings?

She would be invited, however it’s likely to be on a beach. Very tempted to have her give me away, it works with my humour and irony lol. Weddings are doubtful at moment though.

#12 If your current/future partner matched everything you want in a person, but was not comfortable with you befriending an ex, who do you cut out of your life?

Hmm not sure, it would be awkward decision tbh

#13 #WhatsTheScenario You befriended an ex. But when you get into a new relationship, the ex confesses they still love you. You turn them down. Could you possibly still remain friends after?

Yeah this happened, we both basically confessed love etc but it would have been terrible to get back together.

i seem to collect ex’s lol and remain friends.

[DizzyDesii]

#2 could you ever imagine remarrying her? #7 wow like willing to donate an organ to you specifically? #11 have her give you away? Omg i’d bring my bucket of popcorn to see that hotmess wedding

[ChrisMaster69]

Nah would not remarry ex wife

#7 organ donor from being very dead…

Lol yeah would be bizaree lll

[Agape93]

#1 How can you or why can’t you befriend an ex?
I'll keep in touch with them long as it ended well or it wouldn't be detrimental to their future relationships. There's no reason to cut out good people just because you stopped dating.


#2 Are you currently dating, pursuing or fooling around with an ex?
With one of them, yeap.


#3 How are you sure that feelings are not still lingering on their end?
They are, but the circumstances around that are private.


#4 Do you often end on a good note with exes?
All but one have ended well.


#5 Have you ever befriended them with intentions to rekindle?
Once, yeap.


#6 Have you asked an ex (or accepted their offer) to be friends with benefits?
Yeap, that's the current arrangement we have.


#7 So you're totally okay hanging out with them and their new partner?
Yeap, she's an absolute sweetie.


#8 Would you hang around an ex without your new partner?
Yeap. I can spend time with whom I like, she can join if she wants but she doesn't need to be there.


#9 Do you usually ask exes to take you back or do they ask to be taken back?
Some have asked, but I've only gotten back with one person once.

#10 Would you leave or cheat on a current partner to get back with an ex?
Never.


#11 Do you think its inappropriate for exes to invite or be invited to eachothers weddings?
Depends on how those involved feel. I have no position on this one.


#12 If your current/future partner matched everything you want in a person, but was not comfortable with you befriending an ex, who do you cut out of your life?
The currebt/future partner. My loved ones are special to me, they are my friends and my family so to speak. They come first.


#13 #WhatsTheScenario You befriended an ex. But when you get into a new relationship, the ex confesses they still love you. You turn them down. Could you possibly still remain friends after?
Of course. Just because we aren't dating doesn't mean we stop loving each other or desiring to be around each other.

[DizzyDesii]

#1 If i stopped dating them, I likely didn't consider them “good enough” 🤣 They can go be a good person in someone elses book. #2 I think you stated you’re in an open relationship, so are both of them okay with the terms of the agreement lol? #12 Thats good that you know how to prioritize #13 I respect your mindset but I often stop loving someone before i breakup with them. So friends wouldn't even be an option. Would i still care for them? Well i dont wish death on them but thats about the only care I can give

[Agape93]

2. Correct. I state it upfront so if they have an issue, they can leave before things start. If they develop an issue, they can go. All three agree to it.
13. Very understandable lol I respect that

[talka20]

So yk i got no ex so whatever little bit i say is gonn be just by what comes in my mind

#1 How can you or why can’t you befriend an ex? I would like to but ik i would expect some things or be jealous at some things n it won't be good idea so eventually its gonn get to nothing again.

#2 Are you currently dating, pursuing or fooling around with an ex? Nope got no ex

#3 How are you sure that feelings are not still lingering on their end? I don't know got no ex

#4 Do you often end on a good note with exes? No ex

#5 Have you ever befriended them with intentions to rekindle? No ex

#6 Have you asked an ex (or accepted their offer) to be friends with benefits? No ex

#7 So you're totally okay hanging out with them and their new partner? No i dont think i would be

#8 Would you hang around an ex without your new partner? Not sure... but maybe if needed to meet for some here n there reason n not to just for seeing her purpose but purpose can be other n in that way if meet up happens, it happens

#9 Do you usually ask exes to take you back or do they ask to be taken back? No ex

#10 Would you leave or cheat on a current partner to get back with an ex? Oh nope

#11 Do you think its inappropriate for exes to invite or be invited to eachothers weddings? If they are still on good terms n wish best for each other then its fine... if its jealousy w new partener or feelings still then no

#12 If your current/future partner matched everything you want in a person, but was not comfortable with you befriending an ex, who do you cut out of your life? Cut off ex

#13 #WhatsTheScenario You befriended an ex. But when you get into a new relationship, the ex confesses they still love you. You turn them down. Could you possibly still remain friends after? Yes i guess but to some time to let her be on her own in better way and not being ignorant or rude... n if that way she dont understand n dont try to move on but try to get back by me breaking uo w current one then nope... then i can be rude n ignorant

[DizzyDesii]

Yea jealousy is expected

[talka20]

Yup ik myself i can get in that direction to some extent so at the end won't turn out great

[Loveisgirthy]

#1 How can you or why can’t you befriend an ex? I could, but just rather be able to not have to see or hear them again. Not because of affectionate feelings just like, residuals of moments I once saw as miracles that weren't anything at all in the grand schemes of things. I was trying to play the game but she had the rule book.

#2 Are you currently dating, pursuing or fooling around with an ex? No I don't think I'd ever care to be with an ex. They an ex. Like if we're both alone and world's ending I'd still find little reason to get back together or be physically in the same room together.

#3 How are you sure that feelings are not still lingering on their end?
They married and they're like perfect fitting peices presumably. Didn't stay in touch much but what I've seen it's weirdly a perfect match.

#4 Do you often end on a good note with exes? Not yet but I'd probably rather not honestly keep in touch or anything when moving forward. But I'd be open to answering questions as like an open review of the relationship of it's past, think that's healthy.

#5 Have you ever befriended them with intentions to rekindle? No, but I did fuck up pretty bad admittedly and ask her to marry me soon before her actual wedding with the other. All on text, wasn't serious and knew she wouldn't take it seriously but it was a backhanded joke as well as a fitting reflection on how I felt hurt that essentially all we'd done was a joke now. (Which was just talking) Love was a joke to me at the time. The basic feels I guess but I was losing it. I also had noone to talk to about it all that actually would relate. But it's my most regretted performance. Not anywhere near that character now.

#6 Have you asked an ex (or accepted their offer) to be friends with benefits?
I was almost friends with benefits a couple times but not with an ex.

#7 So you're totally okay hanging out with them and their new partner? Nope, I've had nightmares as well as nice dreams of the scenerio. It might go fine but I just rather not.

#8 Would you hang around an ex without your new partner? I would rather have that than be alone with them.

#9 Do you usually ask exes to take you back or do they ask to be taken back? I've kinda asked before. I was a whiney bitch about it I'll be honest but it's not a character I relate with now.

#10 Would you leave or cheat on a current partner to get back with an ex? Ew, I'd hate that#11 Do you think its inappropriate for exes to invite or be invited to eachothers weddings? Kind of, again rather not. Just say it's a small wedding.#12 If your current/future partner matched everything you want in a person, but was not comfortable with you befriending an ex, who do you cut out of your life? ... The ex is obvious to me. There would have to be a very strong disconnect with current partner for me to consider.#13 #WhatsTheScenario You befriended an ex. But when you get into a new relationship, the ex confesses they still love you. You turn them down. Could you possibly still remain friends after? I'd want to, to an extent but there's a pretty big chance of a no. I don't plan to screw things up so if I break up it's their faults and I hate being around that kind of fracture in a relationship so I'd be out as soon as I could.

[DizzyDesii]

#1 yea just leg em go #2 damn thats deep
Lmao #4 yea closure and sharing experiences helps #5 wow horrible joke. What if she said yes

[Loveisgirthy]

I know, I know I'd probably made the stupid in the moment decision and driven down to her at the time tbh. But like it's really clear to me why we wouldn't fit together. But I mean I'd followed through I think, I had painful desperation a out my ass, just would've ruined what I do feel now couldn't have been a better end for her or me. Well could've been better, I literally ghosted. But I couldn't even text "happy birthday" like I'd spin into my own rabbit holes. It was a lot and a lot I didn't understand. Yet we just talked. Again my own rabbit holes. A messy insane brain, but I've got some clarity now and am working with that and making some plans to move in the summer after a pretty dope convo with the fam tbh. Yeet haha

[Valso]

1 How can you or why can’t you befriend an ex?
I can't because if the relationship went anything like the last one, I'll keep wanting to kiss her... among other things.

2 Are you currently dating, pursuing or fooling around with an ex?
No, no and no.

3 How are you sure that feelings are not still lingering on their end?
Cuz women don't have feelings.
As for guys, I've only had 2 serious relationships and both ended not by our will, so feelings remain on both sides.

4 Do you often end on a good note with exes?
Only with guys. With women - never.

5 Have you ever befriended them with intentions to rekindle?
No.

6 Have you asked an ex (or accepted their offer) to be friends with benefits?
No. I would have with my last female ex, if she ever asked me for that. Despite my constantly changing feelings of love, hate and indifference about her.

7 So you're totally okay hanging out with them and their new partner?
Hell no!

8 Would you hang around an ex without your new partner?
As the Americans would put it: "I'll blow that bridge up, if I ever get to it".

9 Do you usually ask exes to take you back or do they ask to be taken back?
Neither, yet. But who knows, if the last guy some day decided it was time he took his life back into his own hands and asked me to take him back, I might.

10 Would you leave or cheat on a current partner to get back with an ex?
No. Especially if the ex is a female. They had their chance with me and blew it.

11 Do you think its inappropriate for exes to invite or be invited to eachothers weddings?
I don't know, I've never been in that situation before.

12 If your current/future partner matched everything you want in a person, but was not comfortable with you befriending an ex, who do you cut out of your life?
I've never been in that situation either but I'd definitely cut off the ex.

13 You befriended an ex. But when you get into a new relationship, the ex confesses they still love you. You turn them down. Could you possibly still remain friends after?
There's not an easy answer to that. It depends on which ex confesses that and whether or not I'm single at the time he/she confessed it. If it's the female who broke my heart and I'm still single, I won't settle down with just friends. But if I'm not single, then most probably "no".

[DizzyDesii]

#1 ikr lmao #3 delusional #7 ikr #8 never heard that saying

[Valso]

I rephrased it bc I don't remember the original.
What was delusional of the things I said?

[DizzyDesii]

You saying women dont have feelings yet we’re like the most openly Emotional beings on the planet

[Valso]

For the last 23 years I haven't seen a single solid evidence that women are capable of loving anyone else but themselves and money. I keep seeing this not only by looking back at my exes but nowadays too - with my friends' girlfriends and my best friend's wife who's clearly a gold digger for everyone else but for her husband.

[DizzyDesii]

You just hang around trashy women then. Just dont let one bad apple spoil the whole bunch

[Valso]

LOL, you just described all the women from my country!

[VarddaanKaushikk]

My Answers :-

#13 #WhatsTheScenario You befriended an ex. But when you get into a new relationship, the ex confesses they still love you. You turn them down. Could you possibly still remain friends after? Nope. Never works out.

[DizzyDesii]

#4 and your girls ok with that? #12 thats sweet

Yeah. My girlfriend knows how much I love her. She's cool with me staying in touch with that girl because she knows what we've been through and even after the most difficult times , I stayed and didn't give up on her. .

[NathanDavis]

#1 How can you or why can’t you befriend an ex?
------ I am friends with all my (four) exes, very close with the first two which I met forever ago when we were all younger, and less close but still friendly with the later two... and this is possible because they're still fucking amazing people that never changed... and we did not have any kind of toxic drama nor we broke up on ugly or fucked up terms, so all good...

#2 Are you currently dating, pursuing or fooling around with an ex?
------ never have dated, pursue or fool around with any of my exes, never would and never will... lol

#3 How are you sure that feelings are not still lingering on their end?
------ because I know all of them absolutely well, because I've seen them going into other relationships that were as great as ours, and because it's been 16, 12, 10 years and so on... and not once there's been a speck of anything weird going on "I just know"

#4 Do you often end on a good note with exes?
------ four out of four, it was a mutual decision and for the best

#5 Have you ever befriended them with intentions to rekindle?
------ never, no... since we ended things in good terms and by mutual decision, there's just not "do-overs" not from me nor from them

#6 Have you asked an ex (or accepted their offer) to be friends with benefits?
------ they never asked, I never asked... and I do not think I ever would

#7 So you're totally okay hanging out with them and their new partner?
------ with the first two, yes... we can hangout with out them or with them, I event went to their weddings... lol, with the later two I have met them and it wasn't awkward or anything, but we're just not as familiar with one another

#8 Would you hang around an ex without your new partner?
------ that's how we do it most of the times, we hangout as friends... without partners, because we're friends...

#9 Do you usually ask exes to take you back or do they ask to be taken back?
------ it has never happened, me or them... not something we asked or talked about

#10 Would you leave or cheat on a current partner to get back with an ex?
------ I would not cheat on anybody for no reason whatsoever

#11 Do you think its inappropriate for exes to invite or be invited to each others weddings?
------ no... I've done it and it wasn't a big deal, but like I said... by the time the two of them got married... we had been friends for a longer time than we were a couple, lol

#12 If your current/future partner matched everything you want in a person, but was not comfortable with you befriending an ex, who do you cut out of your life?
------ I do not cut my friends for no reason and for nobody... this is not about my exes, this is about ME... if you cannot trust ME, then you should not be with ME, period... lol
(note: all of my girlfriends have not had issues with me being friends with exes, and all of them had at least one ex-boyfriend as a current friend as well)

#13 #WhatsTheScenario You befriended an ex. But when you get into a new relationship, the ex confesses they still love you. You turn them down. Could you possibly still remain friends after?
------ hmmmmmmmmmm... the friendship would remain yes, from my part... but things would change a bit, and I would rather keep my distance, because if you still have feelings for me, and you still like me... staying close to me will not lessen any of that, and the fact that you still had feelings but still ended our relationship, would mean that something there was left unsaid and unresolved... and I don't think I can trust that

for every break-up I had, I made sure to give us all the time needed to be 1000% sure it would be mutual and for the best... and we would move on 1000%

[Harleigh90]

1. Because his an arsehole and there's a restraining order in place for 1 another Because his moved country and retired early. The other 2 I'm still friends with.
2. Nooooo
3. Because 1 is gay and the other does still but he knows I'm not interested.
4. 50/50
5. Unintentionally for 1 but recently found closure (greatful to the one who helped with that)
6. Yes. My last ex, it started and ended being friends with benefits we just dated briefly in-between.
7. My 1st ex is the only 1 I know who is in a relationship, he has a husband and a child totally fine we laugh about it now.
8. I don't have a new partner. But probably if we were at the same place, we're all adults so we'd be happy for eachother.
9. Last ex asked to try again, but after a chat we're both happy to move on.
10. No. Not at all. Definitely wouldn't want to go back.
11. No. Again you're all adults. If his ex was there it would be to support us, because we're all decent humans, that don't hold onto the past.
12. Then we obviously lack communication. If an ex had a toxic weight on our relationship then obviously the ex.
13. I'd shut him down. No feelings at all towards him. Obviously I care for him because we're friends, but if he came to me knowing I was in a relationship then that's uneven balance to friendship. Obviously doing it out of spite.

[DizzyDesii]

#3 wow that inspires my next question #11 inviting an ex (who would be my past) would be holding on to the past lmao

[Harleigh90]

Think it always depends on how things ended and recent too. If if isn't befriend then it means we can't move forward as friends. If he was genuinely happy for me then of course, we're be way past the dating stage and moved on. I was groomsmaid at their wedding and godmum to their daughter lol

[DizzyDesii]

Good Lawd

#1 i agree #3 but you just said dont look back lol #11 how is it not inappropriate?

[Dargil]

But you can have fond memories.

[DizzyDesii]

Memories dont mean i wanna be with them again. I have memories in my high school yearbook of going to HS but i wouldn't dare return to that shithole

[Dargil]

I liked her a lot but I do not any current contact. My WIFE wouldn't like that. And she owns a machete.

That might be bad for my health.

[DizzyDesii]

[Phoenix98]

#1 How can you or why can’t you befriend an ex?
Because I don't want to the only exception was my first girlfriend because she turned lesbian after and what I felt for her turned out to be more of a sibling kind of feeling she felt more like a sister then a romantic partner. So there wasn't any awkwardness or anything.

Nope

I'm not friends with any of my exes anyway so it wouldn't be an issue. And even if there was one that I was still friends with my future is more important to me then my past. There are very few exceptions to that.

#13 #WhatsTheScenario You befriended an ex. But when you get into a new relationship, the ex confesses they still love you. You turn them down. Could you possibly still remain friends after? Ehh probably not it would complicate things to much.

[kellytheman]

1. Sometimes because the break up could of been bad a crazy stuff was said that they can't take back.

4. Almost always I maybe had 1 or 2 bad break ups.
5. No not really we only maybe just become friends with benefits.
6. Yes but it was always the girl that instated that.7. Yeah sometimes the person that she is with become good friends.8. Yeah but I don't think about it just happens.9. I have been asked to take them back and I usually do maybe the 1st or 2nd time but if they break up with me 3 times I won't.10. No I am not a cheater.11. Only if they was bad break ups but I never been to a exes weddings.12. I the ex is a good friend I probably could not be with someone that I when had to choose between a friend and a partner but if I really had to choose I might have to cut ties with the ex.13. I think that friendship might have to sadly end.

[DizzyDesii]

#1 now thats an absolutely reasonable answer. If only more thought that way. #3 huge red flag lmao #6 is that the one you’re still friends with? #11 weddings or inviting them? #13 smart

[Кураж]

Inviting my exes to weddings is weird, I wouldn't go if they invited me either.
I'm not a fan of marriage itself, but I could potentially see myself getting married.

6.
Yup. Basically, we resume friends with benefits when single.
It's kinda.. messy, because she also reaches out to me when she is having relationship problems.
I told her that I definitely don't want to be part of that mess and that I will only resume speaking to her when she is single.

Last time I reminded her she broke up with the guy the next day and added me back.
Oopsie? Lol
But she is in a relationship now, I didn't talk to her since summer last year.

[JosyJosy]

2 Nope
3 He hasn't contacted me in years so I think he's good
4 50-50
5 Never

7 I ended on neutral terms with an ex, so with Him I'd be totally okay
8 No, that's disrespectful towards my partner
9 Ya the cheated begged. That karma feels good!
10 Fuck no
11 Indifferent. I don't like weddings in general
12 Absolutely
13 We'll probably grow apart. My first reaction was HA NO like wtf your timing sucks. I'm not going to take you back anyway, but confessing only when I'm already taken, come on now.

[DizzyDesii]

#8 fully agree #9 hahaha
