    you’re assuming genders

    Show me a man named Chloe or a woman as clueless and pushy as the guy on the right

      Are you saying women can’t be as “clueless and pushy” as the person on the right? If anything, based on the dating memes of guys not being socially capable on dates, the fact that they are the one trying to keep up the conversation implies it might be more likely it’s a gal…

        Lol person on right is typical guy. There are millions of guys exactly like person on right. Part of the reason for left’s indifference is probably just how common guys like person on right are

      I’ve seen this play out between two men and two women. And for that same reason, I had a slip-up because to me it’s not a matter of gender at all. But there, fixed, the point still stands.

        The block button was made specifically for this

        Yes, true. Love block buttons. Glad they exist.

        The existence of block buttons does not excuse pushy behavior.

          It’s not even pushy nor clueless, though. From my pov, the guy gave it a couple of attempts and then said something to address the elephant in the room. If someone were pushy, they’d play clueless and keep at it instead of losing their patience like that. I don’t imagine he persisted after this.
