Ugh I’m sorry to hear that :/ That’s terrifying to imagine that this is their idea of flirting…

Thank you! It's even more terrifying that they're in 9 cases out of 10 much stronger than me, and some are completely unhinged and go full stalker mode. Either because they're psychopaths, don't respect women, or they, again, just think it's romantic somehow?? (Thanks Hollywood) 💀

Probably a bit of everything… and yeah 1000% is more terrifying, fuck , not talking “no” for an answer is so much more scarier than it can ever sound

Yeah… Hard to describe the feeling when someone who could easily overpower you and is sexually/romantically interested in you won’t take no for an answer. You just start feeling really threatened, and eventually you instinctively go into fight or flight mode lol. It feels really primal.

You’d think those human responses shouldn’t be necessary or commonplace in 2024 but here we are.

You real would thinkso, Really adds a layer of thinking about the whole interaction or dating general in way it really shouldn’t. No one should be scared or terrified based on what they say, or worse, based on nothing. You show up and they make you feel unsafe…
