Being a hetero woman feminist and the dating world can be a confusing and conflicting thing. For example, today I was asked out by a classmate of mine. He seems like a nice enough guy but I am not attracted to him. Ironically enough he is in my Feminist Theory class. So today he asks me if i have plans for this evening (and thank god i do) so I told him my plans and he replied by saying "oh well i was going to invite you to a comedy show and some drinks" or something to that effect. I think he was going to do some stand up or something. So i politely said "oh I'm sorry" and he was very nice about it. So as I was walking away what instantly came to my mind was "oh shit what am I going to do if he asks me again?" So my question would be pretty much just that... as a feminist what do you do in that situation?? I want to be nice but I feel like no matter what I would say I would still feel like I'm being a bitch. So to avoid the whole thing in general do I just run out of class before he does so theres no chance for him to ask me?? Or do I just woman up (yes WOMAN up) and just deal with it?? these are the questions that fill my mind!
Any comments or suggestions are always greatly appreciate it! :)
