Not really. You somehow perceive refusal to start a relationship right away as a harsh negative and rejection of the person. That’s not always the case. Have you not heard the “I need to get to know you better” rejection? Or rejections for fear of losing friendships and stepping into the unknown. Relationships are much more complicated than most people realize.
What talking point? About how he obviously wouldn’t be comfortable interacting in any way with a girl who rejected him? So simple human psychology is MuH InceL now. God, it’s idiots like you that make the word meaningless like chuds with woke word.
In the lib Twitter world you live in perhaps. In the adult world, no. I don’t know of any such case. But I know of cases where the person who tried to continue to “be friends” snapped and got depressed and made the situation worse.
Because guess what, idiot, he was friends with her before these feelings started.
