What? Relationships do not always just magically appear ex nihilo, with feelings developing on both sides at the same time, in the same way, and at the same rate. If that is how your relationships have worked, you are unbelievably lucky.

There is nothing wrong with wooing someone. There is nothing wrong with doing nice things for someone because you like them. There is nothing wrong with making plans in hopes that you might impress someone you like/love. Making efforts to begin a sexual/romantic/platonic relationship is not wrong in and of itself-- and it does not necessarily imply some sinister intentions to manipulate someone for your selfish benefit.
There is absolutely something wrong with doing nice things because you feel like relationships are a simple transaction of nice acts for sex or love, and that your (unsolicited) kindness entitles you to something from the other person.
... but these are not the same thing.

I am legitimately baffled by this comment.

(And all this outside of Teen Wolf-- because this comment is much, much broader than the criticism I've heard of Stiles.)

Relationships are mutual. It's not that baffling. If you are pursuing one and the person you are pursuing is telling you LOUD AND CLEAR that they are not interested, doggedly pursuing them is stalking.

This isn't about holding out your hand in friendship and having that other person realize you are there and pretty neat and accepting it. It's about thrusting out your hand in friendship and then refusing to believe it when that other person says, "please go away." 5, 10, 15 years? How long do they have to put up with you before you will finally leave them alone?
