I'm tired of men mistaking decency for flirting

It’s exhausting especially with this guy in my new nursing class. He’s acted like I’m flirting since day one. He commented weirdly on my Blundstones twice, texts me about assessments I don’t even take (instead of the group chat). Last week, he guilted me into letting him tag along for lunch, kept prying about my life, thanked me 5 times, then put his hand on my shoulder in front of everyone. I’m just polite! Today, I avoided showing him how to use a peak flow meter and he laughed at my jokes even when he wasn’t part of the convo. Now I’m dreading him asking me out or getting salty, I might lie about having a partner.

For me, class isn’t a dating spot! Has anyone else dealt with guys misreading your kindness? How do you shut it down?

5. Mistaking his silence for not caring.

A good man doesn’t need to be perfect to be appreciated. ❤️ Happy Father’s Day to the fathers, stepfathers, grandfathers, and father figures who show up, stay consistent, and love through their actions. You are seen. You are valued. You are appreciated. #SoftlyUnbothered #HealthyRelati

Let’s clear some things up because the misconceptions are getting old 😮‍💨 We don’t hate men. We just like women. That’s it. That’s the whole thing. No deep trauma, no bad experience, no villain origin story. We simply looked up one day and realized women are everything. Simple math. No, a man

Are You Sad or Just Tired of Everything?

I’m starting to realize that I might have confused burnout with depression for a long time. The emptiness, the brain fog, the lack of motivation I thought something was wrong with me emotionally. But honestly? I was just tired. Tired of giving, tired of showing up, tired of pretending I was fine. I

The image displays text on a black background, highlighting a statistical discrepancy. It states that many women report dating psychopaths, sociopaths, or narcissists, while the actual prevalence of these traits in men is much lower. The text suggests women might mistake men's boundaries for toxicity.

Peace may feel unfamiliar at first 💚
