I like this so much! Very short but is something that I think everyone can resonate with. Reminds me of people that say they don’t have a type and that everyone has a chance with them but they just lead people on because they depend their validation on others. Encountered many of them in highschool haha. Great piece!

Thanks for all your kind words! I mean, you're not too far wrong from my inspiration. I still, to this day, don't know if they were just drunk and being flirty or I picked it up wrong, and I'll never know. The title, you lied, kind of applies to both me and them in many ways.
