Thanks for the heads up! I have reuploaded the image. could you check again to see its working

Works fine from lemmy.zip

Yup, all good now.

Good god, that's a real post, isn't it.

I'm not sure what I'd do in that situation, but posting on Reddit isn't it.

I'm pretty sure that it's a joke post but you never know, she could be Canadian.

Cant be so sure!

Maybe she's from Canada and was just being polite

If someone says they like me that's always a huge red flag for me
I only date people with standards

Yeah, like, come on, you like ME? Are you sure you're not just crazy...? NEXT.

What's the thing about canadians?

They're really nice.

Thanks! Love you

Surrounding the joke with a comic actually makes it less funny here.

I know it is meant to be a joke and we are meant to think that assuming the Reddit post is even real that it is funny the person would do that. However this is actually becoming a real problem . There's a mix of extremes happening and it has gotten to the point where a lot of younger men are in the mindset that it's basically impossible for this to happen and they are terrified of assuming and accepting the feelings. Because if they get it wrong they get called a creep ridiculed and just otherwise dragged through the dirt socially. Or at least that is the fear that they have I have doubts that it's actually that bad , it probably happens in some places but it is the fear that a lot of men in general have right now.

I've caught myself thinking that way when I end up falling for a friend. That I'm the one who's wrong for having those feelings and I should have just been happy with friendship. During that time it probably would have been not quite as bad as the comic but short of explicitly saying they love me and asking me out I would not have assumed anything was them having romantic interest in me.

It's a meme based on how polite they are

Same comic but he asks ChatGPT.
