Discussing Relationships Sentences, Vol. 5

(Sentences for friends discussing their love lives. Adjust phrasing where needed)

"Who is he to you that makes you want to risk everything for him?"

"If it's a date and not just a random hook-up, then I guess I approve."

"You're pretty new at this whole relationship thing, huh?"

"This may come as a shock, but I'm actually not very good at talking to girls."

"I'm not in love with her. I work with her."

"Things are a little tense between you two, huh?"

"I thought it was love. Turns out, it was lust."

"How many hearts have you broken in your life?"

"Once you kiss somebody, it's hard not to do it again, right?"

"Have you ever been kissed by a man?"

"It's recently come to my attention that men cannot be trusted."

"I can't tell what's worse: whether she doesn't know she's ripping my heart out, or whether she does know but she doesn't care."

"I told you! You just needed to meet a nice girl!"

"I try not to involve myself in other people's domestic strife."

"I've wanted to kiss her since I met her. She's very kissable."

"You know, I used to have a huge crush on you."

"Haven't you ever done something stupid for love?"

"Why are you assuming I don't date?"

"Have we established that you have a certain predilection for the company of unavailable women?"

"Most people, they go their whole life and they never really find someone they love. They say they do because everybody's the star of their own little romantic comedy, but they're full of shit."

"Did you have a childhood sweetheart?"

"He makes me happy. It's been a while since anybody did that."

"I don't know if she'll ever love me, but at least now she knows I love her."

"You've got lipstick and scratches on your neck."

"How long have you had a thing for older men?"

a confused tilt of her head, "stew…?"

a flutter of her lashes, before she presses a finger to her chin. no… no, hekima might have been onto something — containing all the elements to not feel lonely, and yet loneliness still persists.

however, the comparison is what gets laughter out of the insect hashira, "you're an interesting one, mukai-san."

"A-ah, I've been told that often." And not usually with the positive connotation to it. It's a relief to see Shinobu is higher spirits, too.
