How would you feel if a man confessed to liking you, only to follow it up by saying that he knows you don't feel the same way about him?

You don't believe me when I say that I don't "hit on" women, do you?

My assumption is that you're accusing me of having a sense of entitlement over women, like they somehow "owe" me something, and that I don't care about their boundaries; perhaps I'm mistaken? They can deny it all they want, but I truly believe that's the impression I give off to most of the people who frequent this sub: they see me as a TRPer in all but name who likes to give this whole "I'm a feminist" schtick, yet fails to live up to his own standards. They also see me as an incredibly irritating drama queen who likes to stir the pot for no good reason, and a so-called "nice guy" who keeps denying it to himself despite a presumed "mountain" of evidence pointing to me being a misogynistic d-bag - I'd reject either of these labels, but it's not my place to judge.

I don't ask these questions because that's how I act offline and I want someone to tell me that everything's all hunky-dory; I do so because I need to be reassured that I'm behaving appropriately before I do anything, ever. I also want to know if my avoidance of something (e.g. getting caught checking women out for a second or two) is reasonable or justified.
