If you go on a date with someone and then the next day or a few days later text them and they don't respond, you have your answer. They weren't into you. What more is there to discuss? They don't owe you an explanation as to why they didn't like you. Is it really helpful for them to say, "Sorry, I wasn't attracted to you"?

The problem is that pretty much all of society is operated on the principle that no one owes anyone else anything. Makes everyone resent each other, and it’s friends, employers, schools, everything. Huge reason behind the success of people like Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders
