I have a question related to this. If I (a man) meet someone at an EA meetup and I find myself interested in exploring the possibility of a romantic relationship, in an ideal world what would you like me to do?
Sometimes at social events I meet a woman that I feel attracted to. Generally speaking, if I feel that we have some rapport I’d tell her that I think she is pretty cool and ask her if she would be interested in going on a date. Sometimes it isn’t so clear cut as “want to go on a date with me?”, and we exchange contact info and chit-chat through some medium while I try to parse if she is open to a romantic relationship and while I try to parse to what extent I am interested in her.
I’m not sure what the appropriate actions I should take as a response to “women are getting hit on too much.” It doesn’t seem realistic to proclaim that if you meet a person you are interested in through EA you simply are not allowed to pursue any relationship with that person. Is this simply an issue of people getting hit on in a clunky/awkward/uncomfortable way? Is this an issue of a man asking a women out, the women declining, and the man being pushy about about instead of gracefully accepting the “no”?
I feel weird that I am using an anonymous account, but I think that even asking a question about this topic would have negative repercussions for me.
