“You know those conversations you have with someone you don’t know? I mean my work doesn’t depend on my relationship with you, I don’t have to see you every day… I don’t have to see you ever again if I didn’t want to.”
“Cheers.”
“All I’m saying is, I don’t have to be anyone you want me to be, neither do you - so we’re actually honest?”

We are the liberal generation when it comes to relationships. No labels? No drama. Right?
