"Tell me a story about one of your exes to make me feel better," I insist. He stares at me as if contemplating whether or not he can trust me. I sit cross legged on the couch with his clothes draped over my body. When I see his hesitation, I tilt my head. "Come on, I just poured out my heart to you about my ex."
"My last and only relationship ended because I was too mean," he responds after a few seconds.
"Too mean?" I respond in surprise.
"Yes," he answers as if just as surprised as I am. "I wasn't good at expressing my feelings so she was convinced I didn't really like her. She claimed I didn't compliment her enough or do cute things to surprise her like bring her flowers or plan spontaneous dates."
"Did you like her?" I ask him and he gives me a flat look.
"Obviously," he retorts.
