Something I learnt about myself: do not try to force or guilt me into doing something I do not want to do. Especially if it’s something that goes against my personal beliefs.
A guy wants to video call me. I don’t want to. I’m not a huge fan of it though I actually like video calls if we are more than friends. He sent a minute long voice note chastising me for not wanting to video call. The sad part is, on a regular call, he has nothing of consequence to say, why would a video call make a difference? He wants us to go out (I’ve repeatedly said no, I am not dating) and he wants to go to a movie. I don’t like movies for the “getting to know someone” period because you learn little about them at the movies.
I eventually responded and said, I am sorry if my choice is not acceptable, but I don’t want to video call. He read the message and no response. It’s never my intent to hurt anyone and I hope I haven’t, but no…do not try to force me to do something that I don’t want or have to do.
