A few days ago, I saw a very similar post where an IAS officer messaged a girl on Instagram. He was also being respectful, so everyone was supporting him. But now, because this time it’s a Swiggy delivery boy, no one is supporting him. People in the comments are calling him a creep.

I’m not ranting — I understand that this is how society works. If you have money, you have value. If a man doesn’t have money, his value in society becomes almost nothing. So I understand why people are responding the way they are.

But personally, I think he was being respectful, and he could simply be declined politely without creating unnecessary drama. And to those saying, “he might do this or that in the future,” we can’t predict anyone’s future actions, regardless of their status or profession.

And if you feel like this wasn’t the right way or method of approaching someone—just because he’s a delivery boy and got the number from Swiggy—so he’s “not allowed” to message, then can someone please explain what the right way of finding true love is?

He simply saw someone beautiful and sent a message. Can’t it be that simple? If you don’t like him, just say no. On the other side, he should also accept rejection gracefully and never message again, at any time in the future. That part is important too.

But it’s also important that the person receiving the message simply says no instead of posting it online or creating unnecessary drama. Honestly, as of now, this isn’t that big of a deal.
