Re: So, What do you hate...

That family show stock episode where one of the kids (a girl, usually) works up the nerve to ask their crush out and gets rejected, and they're really upset about it until their parent or older sibling gives them a heart-to-heart about how anyone who wouldn't want to date them is a jerk and an idiot for not seeing how wonderful they are.

It's okay to just not want to date someone even if they're "wonderful." It doesn't make the other person an idiot or a jerk.

This. Like exactly this.
It's not anyones fault if someone doesn't want to date you, and the whole 'blame the person for not feeling the same way' thing is not a good thing to be teaching children or whatever. All it does is lead to bitterness and anger, really.

Yeah, agreed. The whole "If they don't see how wonderful you are they're an idiot who doesn't deserve you" thing sucks, no matter where it's used.

Like, I get wanting to make a vulnerable person feel better, but some situations call for learning how to cope with hard truths, such as that sometimes people just don't feel for us what we want them to, and it's nobody's fault. It's not a failing on our part or their part. It just is.
