Am I in the wrong here? It’s not the first time I’ve gotten criticism like this (never this harsh/direct, though), and I never know how to respond

Holy hell. No… you’re good. As a girlie she’s wildly out of her mind. You respected her space. You were polite with the rejection. And she wanted you to beg for her attention. She’s toxic. The fact that this has happened more than once with you is pathetic. Sometimes, girls are the problem. The only thing I can even remotely think is maybe next time say “that’s a shame, I thought there was something, but I respect your choice.” Or something along those lines. Seriously tho you’re good.

As a woman, this is so unfair to you lol. She rejected you and you respected her answer. What were you supposed to do, argue with her about whether she’s attracted to you? And not assuming you can touch her on a first date isn’t 'feminine/gay,’ either.

if she was making moves and you weren’t reciprocating (standing/sitting right up against you, stuff like that) then yeah maybe she didn’t feel chemistry because she didn’t feel wanted. but other than that, it’s always fine to wait until it feels right to make moves and just focus on getting to know one another

Actually this sort of reads as someone who didn’t necessarily not like you, she was interested enough to show up, but she wanted to feel more overt interest from you, more desire, more pursuit. I do think it borders and is probably a tad bit narcissistic and attention seeking though…

There is nothing wrong with being feminine. Like I said, some girls like that. It’s better to be up front about it than to be a feminine dude trying to be masculine. Girls and guys see right through that. Contrary to popular belief in 2026, although you may try, you can’t hide who you are on the inside.

Eh I think you mean well but this sounds like an excuse and I think if we’re gonna ask men to be respectful we shouldn’t excuse when girls act a fool and are rude. Like imagine if OP got this over and over again and girls excused behavior like this then men like OP are gonna start changing their gentleman like behavior. We need more men like OP

I see what you’re saying, but I’m just not a very physical person, especially not on a first date. That’s just a personal boundary I have, but I recognize that can come off as a lack of interest, which is why I made sure to be clear that I had a good time and would love to see her again

if that were the case and she were a decent person then she wouldn’t have said “you’re giving feminine / gay vibes”. she means it in a deliberately derogatory sense, or else her social skills are so poor that she shouldn’t even be going on dates until she figures her shit out
