I don’t think I’ve ever seen a story more illustrative about how women try to let men down gently and men are completely oblivious to it, become obsessive about it, and the world calls it “romance.” https://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/uk-news/student-hand-writes-100-letters-18794615
He has posted over ONE HUNDRED letters on the street he thinks she lives on and gone to the newspaper... and people are calling him wishing him good luck.
I assure you their connection was not as instant as he believes. Her laughs were probably forced and answers short

Homegirl has probably spotted him at a distance more than once and hid.
Women can leave their air pods in, not make eye contact the entire time, give one word answers or even just “mmm-hmm,” be restless and figity as shit waiting to make a break for it... a man will still ask for a number.
Give him a wrong number, he may try to track you down.

That’s my guess, too, because you know he’s tried to find her on socials using first name + the school/location.

I’ve mentioned before the con ed man that came for an emergency gas leak - he had my direct number for the appt. Told me he meets everyone he dates through his service calls, then I had to navigate gently letting down this man who knows where I live.

The other greatest illustration of obsession as romance is the dude writing “Hey There Delilah” about a real person... who was in a relationship with someone else.

The bigger issue here is that everything western society has fed to us for generations @ “courtship” creates space for this shit. For men to ignore hints, pursue until they get the desired response. That the chase is part of it. We gotta unravel all that.

And that’s the issue. Bc women are “supposed” to play hard to get (I can’t believe ppl still believe that in 2020).
It’s also not lost on me that the 2 main modes of male interest often seem to be stalker behavior or “wyd” everyday for infinity.

... I say that because somebody’s gonna read this and say “but women say they want effort.” Yeah, when there’s a *mutual interest.* That part is key. The effort and gestures alone do not obligate a woman to give you her time if she’s not interested.
Yes, women are capable of creating fantasies about men they don’t know and crossing boundaries... and everyone calls them “crazy” when they do it (see “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend” on Netflix).
When MEN do it, women should give them a chance! It’s sweet! Who knows what’ll happen!

I’ve tweeted this before in a convo about street harrassment, but there’s an adage:
Men’s biggest fear is that a woman will embarass him. Women’s biggest fear is that a man will kill them.
