Your mutual should get it. Be out right about it. You constantly hitting on me and trying to get with me makes me wildly uncomfortable. You only seem to be my friend because you’re hoping to wear me down someday until I go out with you. I’ve expressed this before and I never will. I don’t want to keep sex pests around me. Something along those lines.

In what world would this make you the asshole😭 if you feel comfortable/safe enough to do it by all means go ahead and do so, and if your mutuals know/find out why he’s blocked and still take it out on you, then you know where you guys stand <33

Whenever I express how weird I feel about him messaging me my friends always just think its funny that he’s so persistent and joke that he’s “so in love” and I should give him a chance 😕

The best advice I can give as a slightly older woman is that you need to be comfortable making men uncomfortable. They will push you and make you uncomfortable and the only way they learn is to be shamed and pushed back in line. It’s scary to do as a woman but it’s a skill u need to know to protect yourself.

You’re so right thank you 😭 its just hard for me bc im a pretty non confrontational person in general and I’m always worried about how I come off to other ppl. But you’re right I do want to practice being more assertive

I think all girls are taught from an early age to make ourselves small. It’s soooo normal. Practice being big when you can. Blocking him is the right thing to do but blocking alone is avoiding confrontation. Tell him why and then tell your friends how this truly has been tormenting you. Real friends will have your back.

maybe it’s just because they’re not understanding how uncomfortable you are and it’s just easier to joke about it and put it aside than confront the problem and potentially have to rid themselves of a friend

I agree that this could be a possibility. Because he’s making you uncomfortable, next time they tell you to give him a chance definitely put your foot down. Either way it looks like they risk losing a friend, me personally I’d rather take the person getting hit on seriously and lose the guy who isn’t taking no for an answer. Worst case scenario you lose people who might not have your back in the future, but at least in that same future you can find people who will actually have your back
