It sends such a bad message because IRL people don't just "give in" or if they do it's not going to be genuine. If they change their mind about not requiting someone's feelings, it'll be because they changed their mind (learned something new about that person, the person changed, the first person's tastes changed, whatever) NOT because the second person pestered them into it.

Yet some guys actually behave like this - like if they just try hard enough, they can get the girl to love them!!! :(

If they change their mind about not requiting someone's feelings, it'll be because they changed their mind [...] NOT because the second person pestered them into it.

THIS, holy shit. And if we had a talk about this, and we agreed it wasn't gonna happen because I don't feel the same way and am not attracted to you, Guy, and you get together with my best friend and you two make a wonderful couple, and we all agree it's for the better, and we're great friends for several years before and afterwards...

Then no, I'm not gonna ~magically~ change my mind just because you two, especially you BF, start doing some strange subtle hinting that I should sleep with Guy that either flies over my head or seems completely non-nonsensical because WE SAID IT WAS OKAY I WASN'T INTERESTED AND I THOUGHT WE WERE OVER IT. Like talking about how great an open relationship is ("I'm happy it works for you!"), or how other people find Guy attractive ("Good for you?") or how BF kept subtly pushing for me to be less "choosy" about having sex (and then got pissed when I replied I wasn't waiting for Mr. Right but Mr. Right Now)...

Oh sorry, of course you couldn't say anything directly! I would've been able to say I wasn't interested! It's better you, especially BF, keep hinting I'm ~immature~ and so ~virginal~ and dodge the issue when I try to bring it up and keep making me think I'm overrreacting to things and--

Oh wait, you both ditched me during one of my depressive periods once it was clear I wasn't gonna magically realize what you meant and change my mind. I'm so sorry :( :( :(

What the actual fuck.

That is so shitty, anon. Wow.

I hope you find better friends!

It's kinda amazing how much I put up with, but as my therapist drilled into me hindsight is 20/20 when you're not right in the middle of it.

I have, thank you!

Glad to hear you have better friends and an (apparently) good therapist. I like happy endings! (Or in this case, happy times relative to the bad ones!)
