If I thought someone was interesting I'd do some things with them but usually I was by...|||I'm not particularly against telling someone I love them, I just don't do it all the time.

We were roommates for a while and we got along splendidly. I find her extremely amusing/interesting/entertaining and she appreciates my flagrant disregard for what...|||As others have said, it's not an outright rejection of the system just because.
