I remember when this reddit post came out, it was as wild as that imaginary bear. Forgive my reminiscence, but I think I made a comment like “dude shut up I wanna see him do it” to someone saying that he shouldn’t, and it got several upvotes. A dozen, even. It was nice
“Hey, I was wondering if you could help me figure something out. I was really flattered by your invite the other day, but I’m not interested in dating right now. I enjoy your friendship and I don’t want to jeopardize it. Is there a way we can comfortably set boundaries without ruining that?”
