That might also be a communication mismatch. I've seen this situation a few times: Woman says "let's do this [going shopping as friends] again" and then later they are surprised when the Man suggests "let's do this [going on a date as potential partners] again". The [] part is implied and never said, which is why the miscommunication happens.
- omniglottal 5y agoIt's pretty clear to see that such miscommunication rises from a person's responsibility to be honest. "Let's do this again!" implies intent. If that intent does not actually exist, focus should be on such a lie and, by extension, the liar. While such (mis)communication becomes cultural, that still doesn't make it effective. Defending it is about wise as justifying the previously predominant signalling of women playing "hard to get" with someone they actually wanted to "get" them, and saying "no" while meaning "yes", yet being surprised at the subsequent rise in rape culture.
