The last sentence of these three: “My reasons for preferring to dissuade him [Mike] were entirely about myself. I hadn’t yet begun to scratch the surface of what I wanted out of dating or romance or anything in that department. And it seemed like a uniquely hazardous thing to uninformedly test by experiment, both for myself and for anyone else involved. ”
A concise explanation of my feelings towards courtship and such things.
Hopefully Alicorn got her ego tickled a bit :) Personally, I prefer this one:
“I accept your apology,” I said. I’d gotten into the habit of saying that instead of “it’s okay” when I was fourteen, having noticed that I often wanted to accept apologies for things that were not really okay.
I wish I figured that one out by myself at any age.
