In a Relationship

Narrator:
How long have you guys been dating?

Matt:
Uh, what has it been now? Like, six days? Yeah... yeah, six days.

Narrator:
But you guys are dating, correct?

Matt:
Yeah! I mean, yeah definitely.

Willa:
I wouldn't say we're dating.

Narrator:
So what are you doing?

Willa:
Just... I don't know. Just hanging out.

Matt:
I'm sorry about my twin bed.

Willa:
It's okay. I just feel like a pedophile.

Matt:
What?

Willa:
It's fine. Just f*** me.

Narrator:
Matt and Willa met through their mutual friends, Abby and Owen.

Willa:
You know, I feel kinda bad for bailing on Matt. Faking sick is such a shitty thing to do, but he emailed me at 2:00 in the morning asking me if I wanted to go to a wine bar.

Abby:
[door knocks] He's probably on Ambien.

Willa:
Maybe he's coming to murder me. [opens door] Hi, I think you have the wrong apartment.

Delivery Guy:
It's 4B, right? It's already taken care of, so...

Willa:
Thank you. [to Abby] Did you get matza ball soup?

Abby:
No. Oh my God, he thinks you're sick!

Willa:
Aww!

Narrator:
Have you never had a girlfriend?

Matt:
No. I mean, I've had... yeah, I've had girlfriends. I had one in like, 7th grade that was like two weeks and her best friend broke up with me at the water fountain. Don't actually count that one. You mean like an actual adult relationship?

Narrator:
Yeah.

Matt:
No. The answer is no.

Willa:
It's the kind of thing that normally I'd think it was a little bit too much, but for some reason it just made me want to hang out with him again.

Narrator:
So where do you see this going?

Willa:
Like, honestly? I don't know.

Narrator:
You think you want to marry her?

Owen:
Uh, I think so. I just have to qualify this. If we were 10-years older I would marry her in a heartbeat. Even if we were 5-years older. I'm just not ready to settle down yet.

Willa:
I'm really sorry I've been so crazy.

Matt:
It's okay. I mean, you haven't!

Willa:
I want to make this work.

Matt:
Good, so do I.

Willa:
Good.

Narrator:
Owen told us it only took a few nights without Abby for him to start feeling like an idiot. And maybe that doesn't sound like much, but it was the longest they'd been apart in several years. Then he started thinking about how simple things were between them. How doing nothing with her was better than doing anything with anyone else.

Matt:
Why don't you just tell me stuff?

Willa:
I'm sorry!

Matt:
Just tell me, I don't wanna hang out.

Willa:
Okay!

Matt:
Whatever, I don't want to hang out with you sometimes.

Willa:
That's not true. You always want to hang out with me. Hey!

Matt:
Stop.

Willa:
Next time I'll tell you that I don't want to look at your face anymore. Okay? Next time I'll say, hey go f*** yourself! You're bothering me and you're an idiot.

Matt:
That's what I want to hear! I'd rather that.

Willa:
That's what I'll do. Okay, well stop acting like a p*ssy right now. Okay?

Matt:
Okay.

Willa:
No, It's great. I mean, I have so much fun with him. But I can feel us sort of getting to that point where the fun-ness of it all sort of ends and you either make the decision to continue on as one or you slowly back away from each other and tap dance out of the room.

Narrator:
Which do you think it will be?

Matt:
I like her, but Willa's like this cat that keeps asking you to pet it and then as soon as you pet it, she just slips out of your hands and runs away. It's exhausting.

Abby:
Willa, stop it! What are you doing?

Willa:
What?

Abby:
Who is Zander?

Willa:
He's a dude, dude.

Clara:
Is that even a real name?

Abby:
Serious!

Willa:
Leave me alone! Just let me live. F***!

Abby:
Just make it work with Matt. Okay, I know I said he was weird. He's weird. But he's nice! He's a good person and I think you should.

Willa:
I don't know what's wrong with me. He makes me f***ing crazy.

Abby:
You need to just accept his love, okay?

Willa:
Wow! Chill, girlfriend. His love?

Clara:
This is completely why I'm single. This. Whatever is happening.

Matt:
You can never be inside someone else's head, you know? I guess you don't want to be. That's not the point. They're supposed to tell you what they're feeling and you're supposed to trust them.

Narrator:
How long have you guys been dating?

Owen:
Jesus, um... five years now?

Narrator:
And you guys live together?

Abby:
Not technically, but I'm at his place like every single night. I mean, I don't have my own key or anything but yeah.

Owen:
It's so nice outside. I just feel like Sid and Nancy holed up in here.

Abby:
Sid and Nancy? Sid and Nancy did not have HBO Go.

Owen:
I feel like maybe we should do something first. Like, we could be doing things.

Abby:
Oh, really?

Willa:
Maybe just don't feel like you have to talk all the time.

Willa:
It's not the cliche thing of I like guys that are a**holes. I like nice guys. But the nice guys can also turn out to be like, pretty needy. And then you realize, oh you're kind of a p*ssy. Ultimately I couldn't give him what he wanted.

Willa:
I think it's pretty cute that you made me a mix.

Matt:
Are you making fun of me?

Willa:
Yeah. It's like, the last time someone made me a mix was in 8th grade. It's sweet, I like it.

Matt:
You actually do?

Willa:
Yeah, I like it.

Matt:
With Willa, I was so close to what I always wanted that I built it up to be this thing that wasn't actually there. You know, you want to make it work. But you can't make it work. That stuff has to happen naturally.

Abby:
One weird thing is I've been watching a lot of porn lately. I don't know what it is. First of all, I wish there was a way you could filter out all the guys that have ponytails, but...

Narrator:
So what's happening with you and Owen?

Abby:
Who knows what will happen. You know?

Abby:
I love Owen, but... I don't know. We've been together a while and I want to stay together, but I just feel like we need some new-ness.

Matt:
Does this friend of Abby's have a boyfriend?

Owen:
Dude, shut the f*** up. You haven't even met her yet. Just ask her yourself.

Willa:
When are your parents coming home? I want to meet them.

Matt:
Are you being serious?

Willa:
Have you never introduced them to a girl before?

Matt:
No, like... I just thought it was a little too soon. But, I mean, I would love it. So if you're down then that is just really good. Yeah, I think they're coming back next Thursday so we can do a little family dinner.

Willa:
Okay.

Matt:
And no, I've never introduced them to a girlfriend before.

Willa:
What's happening in here?

Matt:
This is a little mix CD.

Willa:
You gave me a mix CD already. Are you okay? Do you remember that?

Matt:
Not that one. This is another one. This is the extension of that one. I made a playlist of like 40-something songs and this is what I couldn't fit on the first one. Because you only fit like 20 or 21.

Willa:
Big Willa Style... nice. Mix #2, This Time It's Personal.

Matt:
This time it's personal!

Willa:
It's personal. Wow.

Owen:
Will you move in with me?

Willa:
Oh my God! Sh*t! I left my laundry in my dryer in the basement of my building and I don't want homeless men jizzing on all of my sh*t, so...

Matt:
Jeez, what kind of neighborhood do you think it is?

Willa:
It's going to get all moldy and stuff.

Matt:
Let's go get it!

Willa:
No, I need to just run and grab it. I just really gotta run. Okay, bye!

Matt:
Bye-bye. Um, I'll hit you up later.

Willa:
[outside on the phone with Clara] Clara. Hi, I'm gonna come over. Okay?
