Hard to know. 2 ways to look at it. 1 have to filter as if she’s your wife or daughter.she probably has bad experiences. 2 it’s also why it’s so difficult for men to speak to women that they might like (as in asking for a date etc)- or to speak in a way NOT asking for anything- because you never know how the other person will feel about it either way. It’s a confusing world for young men I’m sure.
