Search Results: girls don't believe me

so i’ll start from the beginning. this guy used to date one girl i knew. i met him because of that. but last year i ended a long relationship i had, and when she found out my ex was single, she flirted with him. it hurted me but i carried on with my life. anyways, a while ago, this guy she used to date started talking to me. at first i was kinda wondering why was he talking to me, but anyways, we talked like a lot. he told me a lot of things about his life, what he will study, etc. i was kinda liking him until one night like at 1 am he tells me that he liked talking to me and that i was interesting to him. i said the same about him. he told me he was going to sleep and wishes me a good night. he’s 18 years old by the way, and i’ll turn 18 next month. so, next day he didn't start the conversation. maybe it was because he read my texts before going to sleep. i waited a day and decided to answer to his instagram story that it was multiple photos of puppies, telling his followers that he was sad bc he couldn’t keep them. i answered with a good vibe text, like “they’re going to get adopted by a loving family” and more stuff showing support. so he read them but didn't answer. he has been online sometimes after that, it just doesn’t fit for me that he said a thing one day and then he does this. at first i was scared that his ex manipulated him when somehow she found out he was talking to me, but i don’t believe that honestly. i dont know if i should try again in a few weeks or what. pls could you give me some advice?

he's attractive, he's nice, he has changed for the better, his family is amazing, knowing him and his family made me happier and increased my friends.

However, he hates feminism. He believes in equal rights for men and women just like me, but wants me to no longer identify as feminist because he believes women's rights are important but they are not the same as feminism.

I told him I dont like third wave feminism and I'm only for women rights and equality and justice, still he wants me to understand that that doesn't make me a feminist.

Should I do as he pleases and stop identifying even though I believe I'm a feminist

Or keep believing what i believe
