Off My Chest
RULES:
I am looking for mods!
1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.
2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)
3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.
4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.
5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.
6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

Ask her if she's ever been friends with someone who became interested in her, that she wasn't interested in but who kept pestering her to go out with him/her. Spend some time commiserating about the experience, how awkward it made every interaction, how she constantly had to be on guard, how she was never sure when he might try again, and how she had to continually check for potential double-meanings or pitfalls. The guy has been told No multiple times but you're just not interested, yet he send to think if he just keeps badgering at you, you'll give in and date him.
Then tell her that that's what her constantly bringing up religion is like for you. And that "No means No" applies to more than just sex.
