    Bro can’t take a hint. Do yourself a favor and don’t insist on talking to someone who isn’t as excited to talk to you as you are with them.

      Alternatively, be an adult and tell someone when you’re not interested. Some of us don’t get cues like this. I’d argue most men aren’t able to pick up on basic cues given how many stories there are out there of dudes not being aware they were being flirted with in the most obvious situations.

        People don’t owe you explanations of their choices. If literal silence is not enough of a hint, why keep pushing? That’s on them. They are making the choice to keep going. Why is the other person responsible for that choice?

        They are choosing to listen to their own neediness rather than facing what’s right there. And that is a short, uninterested response.

          Because not everyone is able to get those hints. I literally just said this.

          If you’re being a dick to everyone while showing zero interest, you do not get to whine about how you are treated. It is as simple as that. You are treated by how you behave and this behavior is shitty so it’s treated shitty. No. There isn’t an excuse that will allow someone to get away with this behavior fully and without crticisim, no matter how hard you try. People are responsible for that actions.
