14 Things We Never Want To Say First

Illustrated by the dare-to-share women from The Talk. Because as long as they start the conversation on TV, you can continue it in real life.

1. "I love you."

CBS

Because "I love you too" is way less pressure.

2. "I hate you."

CBS

If they say it first, you're just acting in self-defense.

3. "I think he / she is cheating on you."

CBS

Until you have hard evidence (get your mind out of the gutter), keep it to yourself.

4. "Can we go somewhere less expensive?"

CBS

*Prays that someone else thinks this menu is outrageous.*

5. "Is this about your weight?"

CBS

Don't plant the seed if you can't handle the ensuing breakdown!

6. "Do you want to be more than friends?"

CBS

Hold in your feelings until they break friend code first.

7. "I don't know what that word is."

CBS

You know the saying: “Fake it 'til you make... up a definition.”

8. "Something smells."

CBS

Smelt it / dealt it / you know the drill.

9. "Is that... all natural?"

CBS

Show and tell is fun, but scary to initiate.

10. "Err... did she get a little work done?"

CBS

It sounds like a great story! (As long as someone else asks to hear it first.)

11. "You're gay, right?"

CBS

Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

12. "Wanna swing?"

CBS

Well someone has to propose it.

13. "Are you pregnant or... no? Oh, you're not? Oh no."

CBS

Until you see that baby crowning, tread softly.

14. "This is just physical."

CBS

Glad you said it!
