Change By Necessity

"I hope that when I start dating someone she's ok with us hanging out."

This is not a statement one wants to hear from the person they like. And, yet, it was one I was hearing. We launched into a conversation about how, if he starts dating someone our relationship will necessarily change. Obviously we won't be hanging out as much, and things will just change.

He didn't seem overly enthused about my matter-of-fact response, but, really, what could he say? If he starts dating someone else, things will change. He is going to have to accept that.

Or date me.
