K bestie of greenbai over here. I’ve been in the loop since the moment they met, and Tate was upfront the entire time that he was very interested in someone else and wanted to see what was out there before leaping straight into another relationship. I respected his honestly. He was so honest that she would even tell him to be a little less honest at times because she had developed strong feelings for him and she didn’t want to know all the details of this other chick. Well he figured out quickly that this girl was not someone he wanted to continue to see (I know details of why but will spare her feelings) and it made him realize how rare his connection with “greenbai” was and was a catalyst to them becoming exclusive. I don’t think this is an uncommon scenario and I respect how Tate went about it.
