You + Me = We


When things are new with a relationship, you can look for signs that this is going to last.  Any phrase with a “we” in it puts rainbows in your eyes. 
“We can have a Channing Tatum movie marathon next time. Tonight let’s watch The Campaign.” 
“I heard about a new restaurant, we should check it out sometime.
“I told my mom I was busy tonight because we had plans already to hang out.”
When there are a lot of rainbows floating around it can be hard to see anything else.  Do you know what you should be looking for?  The actual activities/events/things that have been referenced in the rainbow phrases.  Do you have a Channing Tatum movie night?  Do you check out that new restaurant?  Or do you continue to see each other after 8pm with no real agenda besides “watching a movie.”   
Anyone can make a promise or pretend to plan ahead.  They may even mean it at the time.  A person with real interest will follow through.
If you hear a “we” phrase and it makes you puke a little in your mouth you should start practicing your breakup speech.
