So I was searching on Reddit for a place to post these screencaps of this creepy guy I was talking to, and
came across this thread. I think it's nice to show to the people that don't quite understand why women ghost/give numbers when not interested/whatever instead of saying no. Some highlights:
Asking me out 12 more times, never leaving me alone about it, spreading rumors to our mutual friends about me, plotting to "get" me. And then having the nerve to get into a fight with a friend of his - my now-husband - when we started dating because "he called dibs."
I invited a friend to spend the night on the couch to avoid a long late-night drive. When he came into my bedroom at night, and was refused, he raped me.
I turned him down for a second date and he told me he should have raped me on the first one because I was a frigid (slur) who'd never get laid any other way, and also nobody would ever love me.
One guy, a cop, someone I actually was friends with as a child, tried to entrap me in crimes after I turned him down.
Oh my god this actually gave me shivers (your edit). It reminded me of a similar thing that happened to an old friend at a party. He pinned her down on a bed and started kissing her, the door was open and she was crying and tried yelling for help. Two guys walked past making encouraging sounds towards the guy pinning her down. Until one other guy was walking past and stopped and said, "Uh, okay, I think you should stop now." to the guy on top of her.
He stuck his fingers up my skirt and into me. On the dance floor. Because I said I wouldn't go home with him. He thought he could get away with it because he was on the uni volleyball team and was tall and handsome. Fucking no.
A hand round my throat and being dragged down a back alley. Nothing happened, thankfully.
This is only a very small sampling of what's in that thread. So yeah, not getting the no sucks, trust me, but when this is what women have to deal with, saying no is a very difficult thing to do.
