Late to the Party

Because think about it: Obviously the guy didn’t actually give any shits about you if he isn’t at all disappointed if you reject him.Only someone who didn’t care about you and saw you as just another girl to fuck is going to “be fine”.

Conversely, if a guy had any actual true feelings for you, he’s going to feel at least a little bad if you reject him; that’s how feelings work.

>Someone makes it about male entitlement and men not caring about women

>Third person goes the full monty and makes it about rape

“I’ll be fine whether she likes me or not” isn’t the same as “I don’t care whether she likes me or not”. It means your life, your well being isn’t dominated by whether someone else thinks you are great. It means, although you still probably care if someone likes you or not that you won’t feel like going into fetal position and crying or throwing a tantrum or even insulting and harrassing the person you wanted that recognition from but rather will be like “Well that’s not what I hoped for but I can accept that you don’t see me that way.”

Instead of starting a relationship based on "I want you to like me to make me happy", "I like you because my happiness is dependent on you", "I only like you because you make me happy", you start a relationship on: "I don't need you but I make the free choice to know you and include you in my life."

Not being dependent on someone for happiness and self worth isn't the same as not caring about them. In fact your free to care more deeply because your putting aside your own emotions and desires to see that person for who they are.
