In romances (or stories with romantic plot lines that I’m going to call romances here just to make my life easier) there seems to be a difference in how the leading men are depending on the gender of the author. In romances written by men, the male lead is often portrayed as heroic and saving the woman (often portrayed as a damsel in distress) from danger (ie in “The Three Musketeers” by Dumas). And in romance novels written by women, the leading man is played up as a douche that “changes” in the end (ie “Pride and Prejudice” by Austen). And this is still a thing in modern literature (ie “Twilight” and “Fifty Shades of Grey” by Meyer and James respectively).

Am I the only one who noticed this?

(Also, this is a re-do of another question that I’ve recently asked because I accidentally set the opinions to Girls Only, my bad! 😂)

You May Recall:
My “Alphabetically-Ordered” Take on These Movie Franchises

I asked a guy out we both seem to like each other , but he was a bit weird about it. At that point i forgot about it.

Then, a month later her asked me out shyly and i was interested though a bit caught off guard bc of his earlier behavior. I genuinely had plans, so i had to tell him that.

After several weeks of hanging out with friends as we often do , I got the feeling he was still interested based on his behavior and things he said. I tend to down play signs so as not to assume wrongly, so I was not sure.

I also, wanted to make a decision as to if id move on or not as we have known each other over a year. So one day after playing chess, I asked him out. Which to me seems 100% rational.

He responded exasperated, as if i he had asked me 100 times and I kept saying no.

OR as if he had said no 100 times and i had asked him 101 times.

It does not make sense, and I do not like him insinuating i am out of line for simply asking him if he wants to hang out. I am not in a rush, I do not mind waiting but waiting -in the case he is interested, is entirely different than just wasting time-in the case he is not interested.

Why should not i ask and why should not he tell me.. I feel like i am in the twilight zone. He was perfectly friendly moments before , how can he get angry so quickly.

Some guys suggested he is angry bc i am not letting him chase me. Well, i guess if he wants a chase that is his choice and no one is forcing him to go after someone who does not want to be chased. It does not explain him getting angry. I am not into games, am i expected to change who i am?

I only asked twice and only bc he was not clear HOWEVER, I have seen guys suggest ask until you get a hard no-so you can move on with no doubt. Sounds logical. I am not against this, though it seems this is not meant for Women. We are supposed to just guess or wait or roll over and play dead until the guy says sit?
