I never give them, and I cannot take them. Literally not possible for me to handle. I got super hurt once by someone who “tested my interest” and I literally can’t handle it. I just dealt with this today, and I literally had to take the woman’s contacts out of my phone and everything. I have nothing against her, and maybe she’s just trying to “protect herself”, but I can’t handle it. I dealt with the “game” thing twice and it literally had me going to therapy. My heart got completely fucking broken due to me misreading mixed signals and having to move on from someone who couldn’t be honest with their interest in me and would rather manipulate me to “protect themselves” than communicate with me. I have absolutely no tolerance with that stuff, and it’s my biggest weakness in dating. I’d rather get ghosted than deal with mixed signals tbh.
