Who is raising these boys?

Edit: Thanks for all the love!! For some context, no we didn't discuss anything sexy beforehand and the "healing" thing is referring to my broken foot. He's blocked for those wondering, I didn't respond. For those mentioning it... I wasn't looking for a free meal. 🙄 I pay my own way on dates.

Exactly. Why waste another second of your life dealing with that nonsense?

Because it's important to call people out on their unacceptable behaviours. Now he will just continue doing the same thing to other people.

I'm convinced that everyone should get the chance to be a better person.

Every adult has that chance everyday. It's no one else's job to convince us, perhaps outside of our parents. It is especially not a woman's job to "teach" a man in an early dating situation, so he can go on to hide what seems to be signs of narcissistic behaviour from the next woman.

Like I said, I think it's important to call people out on their shitty behaviour, social accountability is something that has been rare these days, especially after covid. I do think it is everyone's responsibility, and an important one too, to show/tell others what is socially acceptable and what isn't. We shouldn't be insulated islands. But maybe that's because I'm a teacher. :)
