A guy followed a woman i know home at night. She didn’t run. She didn’t yell. She laughed at his jokes. Complimented his shoes and even pretended she was flattered by the attention. She gave him her number just to make it home alive.
Blocked it the second her door locked behind her.
Men call this “leading someone on.”
Women call it survival. Men will never fully grasp the calculations women make in real time just to actually stay alive.
I never asked you to reciprocate what you asked for. Because if you asking then it’s a lot for you. Reciprocate the way you believe you can if you can’t the way you want to.
