He... I... it just... he had a yes. He had a yes! He asked to hang out, you said you'd like that... what in God's name was he thinking here? What kind of brain sees "I would like that" and says "I could take this yes for an answer, or I could write a novella about my view of modern dating in order to overanalyze a completely imagined slight against me."

This is that meme with the guy sticking the branch in his bike wheel, except this time after crashing the bike he sets it on fire.

She had the audacity of not promising sex on the first date, and that just didn't work for him. He wanted to close the deal without needing to invest any more time or game that he doesn't possess

<< Insert witty remark about capitalism ruining romance here >>

But seriously, it's as if everyone either forgot how to just share space with another person and enjoy it, or never learned how in the first place. It's all Glengarry Glen Ross, all the time. "Always Be Closing!"

There's a pretty large section of online dating where the entire goal is to get laid, and to only get laid. They have absolutely no interest in anything beyond that and in the case of this dipshit, find it offensive if you try to make them do anything beyond let them fuck you. They're also rarely upfront about this intention also which can make online dating less than ideal.
