If there's one experience that most women universally share, it's that it can be rough out there when it comes to dealing with men. This is doubly true when they're part of your dating pool, as anyone with a laundry list of Tinder horror stories can verify.
However, it's rare that the nightmare goes as far as it has with u/hinterloper, who shared the tale of her predicament with a male acquaintance on r/TwoXChromosomes.
After the pair met for an unsuccessful first date a year ago, she made it clear to him that she was not interested in him romantically. However, he kept texting her afterwards and she assumed that he wanted to be friends instead.
Fast forward through months of increasingly awkward hangouts and multiple assertions that they were actually dating, and other Redditors have concluded that her story is basically one huge red flag. Communication may be vital in any relationship, but unfortunately, there are a lot of people out there who just don't want to listen.
