There’s a guy who mentions wanting to take me on a date, so I gave him my availability, told him give me a day/time/place and there’s been minimal follow through on each occasion. With me, you only get about two chances of words not lining up with actions before I become disinterested. After his second lack of follow through, I told him I’m no longer interested. He deflected by saying “You’re asking for too much”. Guess who just DM’d me and won’t be getting a reply? There’s a past version of myself that would’ve spiraled, not spoken up about the thing that bothered me and sat in discomfort with hopes that a different result would come. I’m happy to be in a place where I speak up for myself ✨
