Boy Meets Girl

Boy meets girl. Boy tells girl he's falling in love with her. Boy introduces girl to his family. Boy takes girl on a family vacation for 4th of July weekend. Boy tells girl that he loves her. She loves him back. Boy and girl move in together. They adopt a bunny. Boy and girl talk of weddings and children and a future together. Boy asks girl to marry him. A week later, boy says he's not sure. Boy says he may never be ready to grow up and be responsible. Girl cries and runs away. Girl comes back, and eventually, boy tells girl that he's sorry and that they can make it work. Boy insists on spending Christmas with girl and her family. After the New Year, boy is suddenly distant and unavailable. Girl falls asleep alone 80% of the time. Girl demands more. Boy stands by his unwillingness to grow up, to be a partner to girl. Girl cries. Boy says that he's sorry and that she deserves better. For the first time in her life, girl believes it and moves on, hardly giving boy a second thought.
