Oh no, my miserable life that’s devoid of any connection and anyone altogether otherwise *at least contains a friend.

What the fuck man, is this a real concern average people have that I’m way too fucking alienated to understand

    emotionally ambiguous attraction

    It’s kind of unfair to assume the person who said they aren’t romantically interested is being “ambiguously attracted.”

    • The people arguing from that perspective aren’t talking about relationships where someone’s been rejected or even necessarily would be rejected if they tried. That’s kind of my point. People are talking about very disparate things and calling them the same name.

      No, like, i don’t think they’re talking about the person being asked as being the one being emotionally ambiguous- they’re talking about the person doing the asking. It’s emotionally ambiguous to ask someone out and then have them say they just want to be friends.

      It’s possible to be friends from then on but it’s difficult and definitely ambiguous.
