Bro it's an 8 page chapter and a 2 bubble dialouge, I'm not gonna copy the entire dialouge. We both know what it said, if not, reread it again.
My point doesn't change. you call it frustration and lack of patience, I call it selfishness and lack of communication. They aren't even mutally exclusive, but I took his words at face value while you give a more charitable take. To each their own.
Um, it does? That's just changing your tune upon the logical error you've made. To the obviousness of reader when you say I give a more "charitable take", its actually 'face value' while yours misleading at best, disingenuous at worst.
And that's why I hate polarization. You can be "not literally a rapist" but still be a bad partner. He definitely came off as selfish and cold from that page of dialouge (which you could re-read 5 times in the time it took to get this far in my comment. Feel free to).
And? We already covered this. The thing is, you only see it from Sensei's perspective, whom already agrees with the ex's consensus on some level. His tone functionally meaningless because the relationship is over. This the part where we move on and become different people. You see it "rude" or "uncaring" but can't look past to see the conclusion. It's just actual 'reality', and reality does not give two damns or a fuck. She can stand there mope over the past as she has been doing for more of her attempted relationships, or she can move on, improve herself, and find someone who will stand with her. That's homeboy's role, and he's been preparing to carry that weight for eight years.
sure, she's not faultless. But you don't say "you're boring" to someone you're trying to seriously connect with.
Because he wasn't trying to? Its dialogue presumably off the back of what was probably a series of failed dates with said ex. Of course he wasn't trying to connect. That's the point.
We have two different POVs from this ex's standpoint and from MC's. Maybe neither are wrong, but in general you shouldn't try to put down someone you are dating unless they are hurting you. "I'm horny and you don't put out" isn't hurting you.
Again, he didn't care anymore so that is entirely moot. Hindsight is 20/20 as they say.
The act of dating is to try and communicate and connect. You seem to be fixated on thinking "oh well he's free to find a better partner".
Where the fuck did you get that? Oh right cherrypick...
sigh OK, dude. W/e you say...
He is. I'm saying you can choose to not be an asshole to your date even if you're not compatible. I'd never say "you're boring" to a friend, I'd sure as hell never say it to someone I'm dating.
P.S. I'd be down for some munchies if my girl asked. IDK exactly how sexually active Sensei was but I get that not every night will be sexy night with every woman.
No one's going to bend six times over one's inflated sense internet-grade respect standards or some such. You need to be able to connect with people beyond the superficiality of w/e specifics of the date that you, or your date just decided on. Sensei is too afraid to do different things, and ex was impatient. Both persons in question failed to do this, as the author likely intended. It wasn't complex.
TLDR: If you act like a boring date, you'll get treated like a boring date. Simple as, and since Sensei already understands this much about herself, this is something that can't be ignored. I'll just assume we're more in agreement than anything else.
