>> putting me in the uncomfortable position of potentially having to say, “No," <<

Scarry: Saying no, and putting someone in a position where they have to say no rather than just never asking for anything you might enjoy in the first place is horrifyingly rude. You're traumatizing me, and for my benefit you should never make suggestions of the mildest or most polite kind.

Also Scarry: Date rape isn't a thing. If she doesn't want sex, she can always say no. It's easy. And if it's real rape, she can shove a high heel through his eye socket to prove it. What's the big deal?

For some reason I have just remembered all those hand-wringing articles over the last few years about how liberals won't hang out with or date conservatives.
