i'm tired of straight white men thinking there's a timeline in which i would date them, one that they can access should they hold open enough doors and pay for enough dinners and disregard that i keep telling them i'm not interested.
(i have a coworker who's asked me out, initially stressing that he's fine with being friends. his behavior since has made it clear he is not, in fact, okay with being friends. it's....draining.)
