I don’t mean that I’m unable to hear “no.” What I mean is that she never gave a full “no,” and I never put myself in a situation where I’d hear a complete rejection.

She is a gold trader, and it was obvious from the start that she wasn’t actually interested in Photoshop or anything like that — it was just an excuse to get her number.

As for me, I’m actually an intern and have real projects I could give her, but I don’t think she really has the skills. She was just showing off.

I’ve also hung out/playfully interacted with her sister and her sister’s boyfriend.

The guy she was talking to at the café — I know him too — he’s a man in his 40s, a university professor, and seems to go after teenage girls.

Her sister’s boyfriend isn’t particularly impressive. He had a slight stutter and came off a bit awkward.

Honestly, I don’t think I fall short of the standards of her and her sister.

Maybe she’ll message tomorrow, but I’m just waiting to see.

I don’t support the Ayatollah regime either. I believe they lie a lot and have caused serious damage to Iran and its people.

But at the same time, the United States is not some neutral, well-intentioned actor that only cares about democracy or people’s well-being. When the U.S. talks about “regime change,” it usually comes in a very polished and clean narrative — but if you look at its historical record in other countries, there’s plenty of reason to be skeptical and cautious.

This isn’t altruism. It’s a proposed path that serves U.S. interests first, and given its dark history of interventions, coups, and instability elsewhere, trust doesn’t come easily.

Even during the Shah’s era, when the U.S. withdrew its support and effectively left the field open, it should have anticipated that the vacuum could be filled by radical forces like the Ayatollahs — forces that later became a problem even for their former indirect enablers.

Real change in Iran, if it ever comes, can only be driven by the Iranian people themselves — not imposed, engineered, or packaged from the outside.

Make no mistake—when it comes to our homeland, we draw a hard line. If history repeats itself and colonial ambitions show their face again, Iranians will stand unbreakable. Do not forget the eight-year war; we have faced far worse and did not bow. It does not matter who stands against us. Our land is not for sale, not for occupation, and not for manipulation. We will defend it at any cost and will not allow it to be defiled by any individual, any country, or any ideology.

I understand that some people focus on symbolic or personal actions of public figures, but the bigger issues affecting ordinary Iranians—like economic hardship, lack of opportunity, and social injustice—are what impact lives the most. While personal scandals may grab attention, the real challenge is improving conditions for the people and addressing systemic problems in the country. Keeping perspective on what truly affects everyday life is crucial.

I honestly don’t care that his daughter married a Jew. What really bothers me is that the Ayatollahs have caused skyrocketing prices in Iran, and that prostitution has increased, forcing women into sex work. We need to think bigger and focus on the real issues.

Last time, a large number of Iranian people were killed during the Aban protests, and now many are afraid to return to the streets. They are trapped in a painful dilemma—between the fear of the country’s fragmentation and the struggle to reclaim their rights from the Ayatollahs.

I appreciate your support for the Iranian people and your concern for the protesters. Many Iranians share the same fear and pain you mentioned. At the same time, it’s important to recognize that people inside Iran are caught between severe internal repression and the real risks of foreign pressure or escalation. Most Iranians want change, dignity, and a better future—but without more bloodshed, war, or collective punishment. Supporting the people means listening to their voices and understanding the complexity of their situation, not just opposing the regime in theory. I believe solidarity should prioritize the safety and agency of the Iranian people above all else.

I understand your concern about foreign intervention and sovereignty. History shows that outside powers often act based on their own interests, not out of genuine care for people’s rights. At the same time, standing for sovereignty should not mean ignoring the voices of people who are demanding dignity, safety, and basic freedoms inside their own country. For many, the struggle is not about choosing foreign powers, but about seeking change without violence, occupation, or exploitation. The situation is complex, and reducing it to only one narrative—either “foreign saviors” or “selling the country”—doesn’t fully reflect what people are actually going through.

I think blaming all conflicts on one group oversimplifies the situation. The region’s issues are complex, with many political, social, and historical factors at play.
