(both laughing)
- I really like you.
- Wait, you do?
- Yeah.
- Ooh, I'm gonna have to pull back a bit.
- Wait, what?
- You reciprocating my feelings
just freaks me out a little,
so I'm just gonna pull back a little bit
just to get a breather.
- Well, I mean, if you step back
then I'm gonna have to take a step back,
'cause I don't wanna get hurt here.
- Wait, now you're pulling back?
- Yeah.
- Ooh, well you pulling back
because I'm pulling back, it's definitely
going to ignite abandonment
and self-worth issues
and I have to chase you to
prove that I'm worthy of love.
- Okay, you're chasing me now?
- Yeah.
- Well that kind of activates my fear
of engulfment and my commitment issues
so actually I'm gonna need to pull back
even more.
- Even more?
- Even more.
- Ooh, okay.
Well now you seem emotionally unavailable
and that means I just
have to like chase, chase
chase until I can't chase anymore
because I'm gonna feel like
a worthless piece of shit.
So I think I'm just gonna
back off for good now.
- Well now that you're backing off
my fear has kind of
subsided, so, I'm back in.
- Okay.
- Okay.
- So do you want a committed relationship?
Hello? Michelle?
Michelle,
why are you just moving your eyes around?
Michelle...
Okay.
I'm gonna take that as a no,
and I guess we'll just
give up and go away.
- Well.
- Yeah?
What where you gonna say?
Michelle?
- Look, I really like you.
- I really like you.
- I just don't know if I'm
ready for something serious.
You know?
- No I don't know.
- Like, I don't know if I
should be in a relationship,
it might distract me from my career.
- No, it doesn't have
to, it shouldn't have to.
It should be great for your career.
- Well, now I feel like
you're asking too much of me
so I think I gotta go.
- Okay.
- You're not gonna chase me?
- What?
- You're not chasing me.
- Yeah, I wanna chase you.
Like, obviously I wanna chase you.
That's all I know how to do.
But, I've been on this merry-go-round
like all my teens and my 20s, I'm 30 now.
I'm tired of this kitty ride.
I wanna go into like a
different, more adult ride,
like a drive, like a road trip.
- A road trip?
- Yeah.
Aren't you tired of going
around and around and around
and just wasting time for
years on end with partners
who give you just enough to hang on to
but have no intention of showing
up as a serious life partner?
Don't you wanna know
what it's like to thrive
in a healthy relationship?
- I don't know.
I've only ever known
this circle, this dance
the eternal push and pull ingrained
into my subconscious from
years of my own unique traumas.
- Well, why don't we break that cycle
and give this a real shot?
- Oh, shit.
Oh my God, I totally forgot,
actually, I have another date.
- Wait, what?
- Anyway, you're really cool,
I'm rooting for you and
I hope we can be friends.
- Huh?
- Bye.
- There you have it.
