Guest Post: The Mutual Fade Out

There are many beautiful phenomena on this planet—gravity, sunsets, peanut butter and jelly, leaves changing color, finding a taxi when it’s raining, cold pizza—you get my drift.
High up on the list is my new favorite—The Mutual Fade Out. If you don’t know about ‘The Fade Out,’ well I happen to just have something about it right here. Learn something new. Understand that since no one posted any stories means I was 100% correct about my conclusion. I win.

So now that we’ve reviewed the ‘Fade Out’ let’s take a closer look at its hotter, more sophisticated cousin the ‘Mutual Fade Out.’

The ‘Mutual Fade Out’ is the perfect fairy tale ending when you live in fear of hurting someone’s feelings while at the same time you don’t have a soul. HOWEVER, the major distinction between the two is that your partner actually happens to feel just as indifferent as you about your so-called ‘dating situation.’

Therefore there is a lack of creepiness on either side. You won’t be receiving a ‘Holla! What have you been up to?” text at 3 in the morning or any ‘hey babe it’s been a long time, what’s up with that?’ voicemails. Basically you have disappeared from each other’s universes and no one’s complaining about it.

Oh sigh. It’s the best.
