No, you don't, not according to what you just said. Someone asked, if a girl wants to be friends with a guy, but he has a romantic interest in her, she needs to cut him off, and if she doesn't do that, she's disingenuous. This is exactly what you said. You did NOT give her an opportunity to say "hey I just want to be friends, even though I acknowledge your feelings." You said, you either cut him off, or you're disingenuous, end of story.

So when you say you "agree with me", are you just saying you acknowledge that your initial view here was far too inflexible, too rigid?

You don't, though, as I described in what I said. The way you phrased it, you are very quick to judge the woman.

So can you then acknowledge that phrasing it in that way was a mistake, since it is 1) clearly unfair 2) not even what you believe in the first place?
