I was once yelled at by a friend of a girl for “ignoring her advances.” I kid you not, the “advances” consisted of her walking up to me at a party, saying “hey, aren’t you in my math class?” (To which I answered in the affirmative) and “well, um, I guess I’ll see you there Monday!”
How the fuck was I supposed to know that was an attempt at flirting?
The older gay guy at work? “You’re gorgeous. Ever consider dating a man?”
Society has reinforced that women should be passive, and even after much progress on that front in general, somehow this still applies in some people’s minds.
I would guess.
No biggie though, depends what you personality traits you yourself are looking for, if being proactive is one of them, then I guess you haven’t missed out 😅
And if you weren’t interested and the friend is yelling at you angrily, that’s mega questionable. Last I checked, no one is obligated to be interested romantically in anyone else…
Right?! This right here.
