Reddit comment of note:

…All this video does is point out all of the subtext in modern relationships. If you’re honest right up front, you’ll either freak the person out, or not. If they freak, they don’t know what they want (or they do, and it’s not you, oh well) and it wasn’t worth your time. If they’re into it, ding ding ding you can keep being honest and develop a mature, actual relationship. Congratulations.

    Ugh…just got a sick feeling in the bottom of my stomach after watching.

      Wow, I had the exact same reaction. But, it is a false one. It reminds me of the piece about all of the cliches you see at a yoga festival. Just because we can tell a story where everyone seems to fall into the same tired patterns does not mean that is what is really happening. You know that. Each person, each moment, is one of a kind. We only forget that if we are living for the stories we can tell, or letting our ego imagine we are master of the universe because we can put names on things, been there, done that, seen it before. No, you haven't.
