Words people say when they're not ready

Sure, we'll see each other again.

I don't think I'm "ready" for a relationship.

This is just moving a little too fast for me right now.

Usually labels make things messy.

Aren’t you happy where we are?

This doesn’t have to be complicated.

I don’t want to ruin what we already have.

Of course I care about you.

Not really sure what I actually want yet.

Sometimes I just need space.

How about I just come over tonight?

I really like you, but…

Please don’t make this a bigger deal than it is.

Sorry. I didn't want to hurt you.
