Speaker #0Hey, thanks for letting me stay in your room tonight. Yeah, no, I was, um, sharing a room with him, but he's a little angry with me right now. Um, we kind of, uh, we kind of broke up. No, no, it's okay. It was my idea. Yeah, I know, my timing's not great. We all go on this trip together, stuck together for a couple weeks, and I decide to break up with him in the middle of it. I know, I'm just... not that good at planning, I guess. No, I don't want to talk about it. I want to go to bed, I think. You do not know me well enough to know when I want to talk about things. That's ridiculous. Okay, I'll give you that. We have been friends for longer than I can remember. It's just... It's embarrassing, okay? And you know me. I don't like being embarrassed, so... Maybe just... Leave it be for tonight, at least. Okay, I... I just realized that he wasn't the person I want to be with forever, you know? Like, maybe I've just been kind of... staying with him because he was the easy choice or the convenient choice. And once I realized that, I decided it wasn't okay to lead him on or keep being with him because that's not fair to him. And he's, he's a pretty good guy. You know, it's not right of me to do that. I really didn't think you'd have follow-ups. I guess this trip made me realize, yeah, he's just... he's not the person I want to be with on trips like this, you know? No, there's nothing wrong with him. Why are you asking me so many questions? Ugh. I... Okay. So, when this week started, we all hung out together. And... We've been spending every day together pretty consistently. We're all going to dinners and hanging out at the pool and... Doing all of these things and... I don't know how to explain it. It's... it's not about what he does or who he is. It's... It's about what he doesn't do and who he isn't. Man, I was gonna wait till after the trip to... Well, I don't know if I was ever gonna say anything. When we spent time together, all of us as a group, he wasn't the one who was making me laugh. He wasn't the one who was checking in on me and making sure I was okay. He wasn't the one who knew all of my favorite foods. He wasn't the one who knew what things I wouldn't like. How I always liked being in the shade near the pool, or that I wouldn't set foot in the pool. He wasn't the one who knows me and who cares so, so consistently. You are so... Yeah. I broke up with him because I realize I like somebody else. I like you. And being here every day and seeing you and feeling the way I feel when you talk with me. Versus the way I feel when he or anyone else talks to me. It made me realize that I'm not very good at emotions. I'm not very good at saying this type of stuff. And I probably shouldn't have broken up with him. So... Suddenly. But I just, I realized it, and then I couldn't, I couldn't stand being in that room with him and lying to myself, to him. I'm pretty blunt. And I didn't think that I could get through the next week without saying what I felt. I wanted to at least wait one night before maybe bringing this up to you or maybe just seeing if you were something I was focusing on in order to avoid being with somebody I'm clearly not supposed to be with, but I'm pretty sure. Sometimes it takes me a while to realize something. But once it does, I rarely, I rarely am wrong. And I'd never been super invested in that relationship. We both kind of knew it was pretty casual. But with you, I'm sure. So. Whatever you say next, tread lightly, because if you say you want to be with me, just don't say it unless you mean it, okay? I don't want to get my heart broken. I may seem tough on the outside, but it's really hard for me to be vulnerable like this. It's really hard for me to tell you this, so please, don't break my heart. If you're not into me, just tell me that and I will leave it be forever. But if you are, if there's any part of you that thinks that you might want to be with me, then I'll... Were you listening to me? Because it seems like you're taking this all a little lightly. What? Since when? Not always, that's not possible. We've been friends since before I can remember. The past couple years? Years? Why didn't you say anything? I know I can be dismissive, but not with you. You're way too important for that. Yeah, I seem upset because I think that maybe I would have realized it sooner if you had said something sooner. You kind of have the emotional brains for the both of us. Yeah, you make me realize things I never realized before. Whatever. Look, we, um... I don't know what we are yet. And I very, very, very much want to explore what we are together. But I think for the duration of this trip... We should play it pretty cool, right? Yeah, in hindsight, sharing a room with you was probably not the best idea. but it is pretty late, so I think we're kind of stuck with that for tonight. Yeah, but tomorrow I'll ask somebody else to share a room, okay? Okay, let's go to sleep. And we'll reevaluate this whole situation after the trip is done. Hey, wait, where are you going? Well, yeah, I know there's only one bed, but you shouldn't have to sleep on the couch. I'm the one who impulsively broke up with my boyfriend. You know, we... We're already... Gonna stay in the same room tonight, and it's not like... Like people can tell if someone slept on the couch or not. We could... I mean, the bed is... The bed is pretty big, you know, we could... We could stay in the bed together. Um... You know, if you... Yeah? Okay. Um, then come here. Yeah, right next to me. Is it, um, is it all right if we cuddle a little bit? Shut up. Just stop making fun of me. Shut up and get in closer. I want to cuddle you. Just like that. Perfect. All right. I'll see you in the morning.
