They aren't that strange. If you wanted to break up with someone but didn't want to be mean, what would you say? Probably some kind of nonsense similar to what she did..... You won't say "I just don't like you that much." Or "You're ugly." At least not right away. If you want to know how she really feels, keep pestering her, lol. Persistance is good sometimes, but can also lead to the truth.
Some people are brutally honest, though, and I respect them.

Dude, I'm doing some readings for a class tonight, and I'm writing up something else at the same time. Don't expect really rapid responses, especially when you're using the private message/group system that doesn't even contribute to PC.Dachs, come on. I like having debates about history.

I think I finally know what it's like to be lovestruck, and I have to say that it's not that great.
It's not that great if somebody makes it blatantly obvious that such does not apply to them.
