[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Man gets a new job and has a coworker who is so beautiful, he asks her out immediately. She declines because she has a boyfriend. He continues to ask for 2 years. She eventually says yes, and they marry within 6 months. They are celebrating their 35th anniversary this year.[/quote]

These stories are never cute. [/quote]

These stories illustrate the fine line of courtship and honestly how the extreme positions on both sides are harmful. A perfect illustration of the badness of extremes.

I am positive the woman in the story above would be offended to have two judgmental women tell her that she shouldn't be happy about her own story. Women are different, men are different. Some women enjoy being pursued, some men enjoy pursuit and the opposite on both ends.

Relentlessly pursuing someone who is showing no interest and doing so in a way that invades their personal and professional space is gross/wrong/sexual harassment. But showing no interest in anyone because you are afraid of offending will leave you alone and lonely. And in some cases, turn off a whole lot of women!

Who are you and PP to say this relationship that has lasted more than three decades is 'gross' and not cute. These things always come down to the specifics of the people involved. While I don't think we need to overly romanticize the idea of a man continuing to pursue after being rejected as an overall trope, I would never say that a real couple's love story is wrong/distasteful/whatever.[/quote]
