Comment on Anon asks out a friend
CheesyFox@lemmy.sdf.org 3 weeks agodunno, the guy talks almost like he’s asexual now, and was so for at least some time. As i get it, it would be weird to ask the girl out again and again if she rejected him the first time, and if anon still had romantic feelings, i think it would’ve been hella frustrating for him to continue after the rejection. I see where you’re coming from tho.

Tbf, if I took a few days to self care after being laughed at and rejected and was accused of being fake because of it, I’d probably stop being her friend as a result, but if I “swallowed my pride and stayed friends” I’d 100% at least think “well at least I’m not romantically interested anymore as a result of her callousness regarding my feelings.” I can handle rejection fine (laughing is not necessary though) but I don’t really want to associate with people who can’t allow me space to be sad for a few days every now and again.
But he very well could be still uhh… sexual I guess is the opposite of asexual? But maybe he lost interest that minute like I would have, or maybe he’s just demi- and doesn’t feel that sort of connection with her but a different kind instead, or maybe in the years since she’s said or done some questionable shit like still supporting JK Rowling and that turned him off lol, or maybe when she rejected him he accepted she didn’t have those feelings and moved on like an adult is supposed to do and she missed her window, or maybe this is a greentext and therefore is fake and gay, who knows lol.

i made my assumptions from the words “besides i want to be single at this point of my life”

That doesn’t mean they’re asexual necessarily, could be that, could just be working on themselves, could be freshly in the program, could be hooking up on the apps or in bars and not want to settle down, could have just broken up with another person and is not looking yet, and of course as always could be fake and gay lol.
