10 reasons why you shouldn’t date me

Here are 10 reasons why you shouldn’t date a girl like me:
1.I Steal the Blankets, Hog the Bed
You’ll wake up shivering, full of dread.
A night of warmth? Oh, don’t be bold—
My toes are freezing, yours are gold.

2.I Laugh at Memes at 3 AM
My humor? Odd. My jokes? A gem.
You’ll try to sleep, I’ll wheeze with glee,
Over a cat that looks like me.

3.I Dance Like an Inflatable Tube
In public places—I have no shame, dude.
A grocery aisle, a subway train,
Be ready for secondhand pain.

4.My Cooking Skills? A Tragic Case
Smoke alarms scream in my disgrace.
A candlelit dinner turns to despair—
“Would you like your pasta rare?”

5.I Talk to Dogs More Than to You
Priorities? You’ve got no clue.
If we see a pup, it’s on my list—
Sorry, love, you don’t exist.

7.My Fashion Sense? A Reckless Spree
Pajamas at noon? That’s just me.
Mismatched socks, a questionable hat—
“Are you colorblind?” Don’t ask that.

8.I Binge-Watch Shows and Spoil the Plot
“Oh, that guy dies.” “No way!” “Guess what?”
You’ll beg for mercy, plead and fight—
But I live for ruining the night.

9.My Texting Style? A Cryptic Code
One “K” today, tomorrow an ode.
Do I hate you? Am I fine?
Ah, the suspense—it’s borderline crime.

10.I Forget the Plans, I Mix Up Dates
Thought it was Tuesday? Turns out it’s late.
A dinner for two? Oops, now there’s three—
My bad, I invited me.

But wait—there’s more, let’s not be done,
Here’s 6 more flaws, just for fun.

11.I Sing Too Loud in the Car with Glee
If you hate off-key, don’t ride with me.
I’ll belt Adele, scream early 2000s,
Windows down, no room for doubters.

12.I Have The Attention Span of a Squirrel
Start a story? Never unfurl.
“Wait, what was I—oh, look, a bug!”
You’ll learn to love my mental shrug.

13.I Get Too Excited Over Small Things
A free sample? A bird that sings?
A leaf that falls in the perfect way?
Expect me to stop and make your day.

14.I Can Be Awkward, Weird, and Shy
Until I’m hyper—then, oh my.
I’ll trip, I’ll mumble, then overcompensate,
With an energy level you’ll grow to hate.

15.I Smoke When I’m Stressed, I Know It’s a Curse
A ghost of fire between my lips, rehearsed.
You’ll hate the smell, the fading taste,
The way I burn what I can’t erase.
“Just quit,” you’ll plead, but don’t you see?
Some habits go deeper than lungs and teeth.

But The Worst of All, The Final Part
16.I’ll hand you every piece of my heart.
Despite the mess, the quirks, the flaws,
I’ll fight for love without a pause.

So if you leave, I won’t protest,
You deserve easy, maybe the best.
But if you stay—through all this spree,
Maybe, just maybe, you’re weird like me

I Feel Too Much, I Love Too Deep
I’ll give my all, no in-between.
I overthink, I fall too fast,
I build a home I hope will last.
But love like mine can crush, can break—
A tidal wave, a storm to take.
If you want simple, safe, and free,
Then, darling, you shouldn’t date me.
