the traffic light moment.
There are, I don't know how many of my friends at the moment who are at (what i like to call) the traffic light moment in their relationships. Every so often, a person needs to reaccess where they are in their relationship, and, so as not to have cloudy judgement, I think they should see it as an intersection. They're at the cliched crossroads, and they have the power to change the lights. What light would they choose?
Red? As in 'stop', break up with the deushbag because he's making you miserable.
Green? As in 'go' ahead with the relationship because it's worth going to the next road.
orrr Orange? As in 'slow the fuck down and wait'.
Strangely enough, most of my friends choose orange. i don't think this means they're necessarily fence-sitters, I think they're just in classic realtionships. Either the guy wants too much, and ruins it by saying "I love you" too quickly because they THINK that's what girls want to hear. Pshh. Orrr, they can't commit, in which case the girl (3 of my friends in this case) should really say "Stop", but say "Orange" instead in some vain hope that mr non-commital will suddenly fall head over heels for them. Orange is a very dodgy color.

mr non-commital
I like that phrase. It has the ability to blame everything on the male in a relationship...just the way it should be, right?
ruins it by saying "I love you" too quickly because they THINK that's what girls want to hear
So if they say it too quickly because they mean it, is it alright?
It isn't natural to move on. I can see why orange is the normal answer.

In a relationship where the guy won't commit to the girl, but the girl wants to, the reason the relationship won't work is, with the guy, BUT that's not to say that the girl isn't super annoying, and is the reason the guy won't commit. Or he could just like being a bachelor. Who knows? I'm apparently female, but I don't even understand women, so a lot of help I am. *sigh*
If the man means it (saying I love you) early on in the relationship, I don't think it's necesarily a bad thing. I mean, obviously the girl likes the guy (otherwise they wouldn't be together), but sometimes men say 'I love you' simply because they think that's what every girl on the planet wants to hear. Sometimes it's a little daunting. Say, if I went on 2 dates with a guy, and was still making up my mind about him, I don't think I'd want to hear it. Sure, i'd be flattered, but i'd be more flattered if they knew who they were loving before they loved them. you know?
Orange is the easy answer, because it's usually the safest (despite what traffic patrol insists.)
Sometimes you have to hurt a little to get a green light on a different, and smoother road.
But that's just what I think.
