I don't think it's a good idea as long as our control issues and everything else are directly oppositional? Like I...don't actually want to be Chuck Bass. But also I can't do the romance thing right now and I don't know what the timeframe will be for actually being able to do all that stuff, and I'm not sure I can commit to doing the stuff he needs me to be doing. There were a lot of reasons I kept fucking up and hurting him, and I don't know if I want to get into them all. I'm tryin' not to think too hard about it; dude falls in love easy and may be datin' Rin by the time it's an issue I can give a second look into. Or like, almost anyone who is not me would be a better option at this point. Which I knew would be a thing when I said we should cool it, and - I love him and hope he finds someone who makes him happy. I told him not to worry about me if a thing came up.
[ he's just fairly certain he'd need to get his shit sorted before it could be him, off the meteor. and maybe karkat would need to work on his stuff, too, but dave has no idea how to broach that because he never has had. it'd be all around better if karkat dated someone who could help him with...everything, actually. ]

So, let's just talk about saying 'no' instead.
