Surprisingly, being pursued by individuals you're not interested in is one of the worst aspects of modern dating. Having to reject someone is not a pleasant experience.

The worry that the aforementioned person will start acting hostilely and aggressively is worse, though. While anyone can become aggressive, and women are equally culpable in this regard, there appears to be a trend among heterosexual men to lash out at women when they reject them.

No matter how gracious or considerate you are in your rejection, some guys will immediately resort to abusive language, threats, and physical violence. The OP of today's story didn't have it any different.

The OP had had this male friend for years, and he asked her to hang out, to which she agreed. The OP mentioned that they weren't particularly close, but they would hang out every now and then.

Conversations between them were tame, always about school, work, and relationships, and it was by no means a flirtatious friendship. So the OP never got the vibe that he was ever into her, but apparently, he was.

On one of their car rides, the guy asked if he could kiss the OP, to which he got a negative reply. He said he wanted a relationship with the OP, but she wasn't into him.

So the guy decided to put their lives at risk, and you can read the full story below. 

The OP wants to know why men get aggressive when they are rejected

It reminded the OP of when she had her photos used a few times on dating apps by catfishers

The OP is not in a position to be in a relationship and she really doesn’t want one of any kind

This guy risked the OP's life just because she didn’t want to be with him

She summarized her story saying:

TLDR: Long time friend confessed feelings to me, and when I rejected him he reacted aggressively and risked my safety.

The reddit post attracted a lot of comments and we've gathered some of the most upvoted ones for you below.

People like this are petulant children used to getting their way

The OP's friend intentionally harassed her

The OP added this update somewhere in the comments

The OP should report him if she's okay with it

Rejection isn't perceived as you telling him that it can't be

Why do so many men feel that women owe them something?

He's definitely got one or more catfishing scams going on

Some Redditors believed that the OP's supposed friend must have faked the friendship with her in order to get into her pants. And when he got rejected, she got accused of leading him on or only wanted to get attention.

But it's never really anyone's fault for not communicating clearly or early. Drop your thoughts about this story below and share as well.
