Unsettling
Today’s strip is a bit of an in-joke between Lauren and I. When I get into “serious relationship talk” mode, I often think I’m saying one thing but the other person thinks I’m saying something totally different.
Case in point: when I was winding up to telling Lauren that I loved her for the first time, she actually thought I was breaking up with her. True story.
OOPS.
Panel 1: How to be really unsettling, lesson 9: Relationship Talks. Panel 2: Use "serious talk" language inappropriately. Matt: "Honey, we're at a certain stage in our relationship now..." Panel 3: Matt: "I'm comfortable with you. I can't imagine ever being with anyone else." Panel 4: Matt: "So I really, truly think we should... see an action movie tonight." Tooltip: It's much safer to do this _after_ you're engaged. TRUST ME.
