Look, I get what you’re saying. And it’s probably the best solution.

OK, safe as my female goat? Wait... place of residence applies here too, right?

Seems to me that my not wanting to go through life thinking I’m a rapist is a net win for women I encounter in my life. And I didn’t say I was UNCONCERNED for her feelings, just that my self-respect was and is my important to me than whatever “maybe/maybe not” feelings she was dealing with.

See, at that age (assuming he’s of similar age), if I was a month apart from my lady and she wasn’t responding, I’d have been like, “What dafuq is wrong with you?” and I would have asked.

Actually, and this is going to sound harsh, but I was more concerned with my feelings. I wasn’t going to carry that around for the rest of my life.

Legally, I don’t know. But as a guy, you can’t do that.
