Search Results: noticing the little things

I'll admit, I used to think that men's shorts that went several inches above the knee were kind of weird. I was used to seeing shorts that ended just around the knee, so seeing shorts that were so much shorter was a novel thing for me.

However, I soon began to realize I actually liked the look of shorter shorts much better than the longer shorts. And it kind of struck me... they're called "shorts" for a reason. They're supposed to be short. They're supposed to show off a lot of your leg, thighs and all.

It wasn't long before I bought a pair for myself... they were way more comfortable than my previous knee-length shorts!

However, people's reactions weren't exactly positive... I'd notice strangers gawking at my exposed thighs as if I was doing something terribly wrong, and people in general would make comments, asking if I bought the wrong size and such.

And my real question is... why? What's wrong with men showing a little bit more thigh? They're just LEGS people! We all have them! And when it's hot it feels nice to have your thighs out and exposed! No need to wear more clothing than necessary.

This girl that I've been talking to has been somewhat distancing herself from me for a little while. After I seemed to repair situation a few days ago, she flat out rejected me today. She's been busy the passed couple of times I asked her out, but it was all last minute type invites; and she had totally valid reasons to be busy (so it was an "I am legitimately busy" busy. She rejected me a 3rd time today, and so (because I assumed I had smoothed things over), I asked her if she had had any availabilities in the coming weeks; and she started blocking me on social medias.

Just so y'all have the timeline straight, here it is:
1. We go on a first date, date appears to go extremely well. She tells me she had a great time, gives me a tight hug and tells me I'm welcome back any time. She says flat out that she doesn't care about texting and digital communication and prefers to have her relationships in person.
2. I make a flirty comment on an IG post, and deletes the comment. She and her roommate start hiding their public stories from me.
3. During the rest of the month, she's moving, as she said she would during the date. Turns down two dates, but as I said; both were spur of the moment, one before Memorial day.
4. Couple more weeks pass, and I finally reach out to her, saying that I've noticed she's been distancing herself, and asked for an explanation. She tells me that she knew I had romantic interest, but was concerned that I just wanted to sleep with her and didn't want to give me the wrong vibe.
5. I ask her out today, a few days later. She opens my message quickly, asks me what I had in mind. I tell her that I'll look for something and she says "don't bother, I'm busy all this week." When I ask her about her availability next week, she defriends me off Snap, blocks me off FB.

I sent her roommate a message to apologize if I offended him or made him uncomfortable in any way. I didn't ask about the girl or anything, was that inappropriate?
