Everyone says that it’s best to be honest at all times and I completely agree but are we so blinded by all the games that we play with ourselves and each other to allow this to even happen? We set all these ground rules before actually getting to know anyone. When should I say this? When is it okay to say that? Will I sound crazy if I say this? Am I saying too much? No, it’s too early to say this and that and blah blah blah. When exactly is the right time to say anything? If I like you I want to be able to say, hey I like you. But is it that we’re so afraid of rejection that we’d rather play the board game to feelings in our heads? 

Hm, but let’s face it. I can say all of this but I know I’ll go back to this same board game. It’s engraved in us — even more so after rejection.
