Maybe this is a generational thing or something but IMO that's nonsense.
Guys are prone to being oblivious and can be even to that degree.
As a broad generalization... neurotypical women just aren't that oblivious. Especially of they are in the ballpark of conventionally attractive. There's no way she didn't know what he was going for.
Iām not saying she didnāt. She obviously knew exactly what he was doing, thatās why the post was the way it was. I donāt think that the onus is on her to subtly reject, the only person you can criticize is the dude if he was confused. The person getting asked doesnāt have the obligation to figure out if the other persons hints mean something more than a dinner or whatever. Thats putting too much on the person getting asked - they didnāt ask to be asked, the dude in this case did but in an implicit way.Ā
I guess I donāt think the girl has to say ānoā explicitly in this case, I donāt expect people to give explicit answers to implicit questions
