... Listen, I know I said I don't want a relationship, but - I don't want you to think I'm just gonna turn around [AND DESERT YOU] and pretend you don't exist anymore. I'm not like that. But if one day you think you want more and I'm hurting you for it then we might as well call it quits. Okay? It's important that we're both honest about this.

[this is not unlike talks he's had before.]

We should be friends above all. I don't wanna lose that.
