Sometimes I wonder if the reason you joke about the way people think we’re a couple is because you couldn’t imagine ever dating a person as dull as me.

Or maybe you're just projecting your insecurities onto them.

Don't always believe what you think.

??‍♀️ Or maybe they’re ‘joking’ about it cuz they want to plant that seed in your mind? They want you to think about y’all dating? Maybe they want to see what you’d think of them dating?

If someone is afraid of being rejected, but still wants to kind of put themselves out there, then they’ll pass what they really feel/think as a joke. To create a sort of lightness about the subject. People do this when they’re hurt, angry, nervous, etc.

Like.. testing the waters. For all they know, you would be disgusted at the thought of dating them. Or you could laugh at them. Or not give a flying hoot.

They have the same basic insecurities as you. Some people hide it better.
