In a world where some men struggle to accept rejection, Mia Thompson from Austin, Texas, has become a symbol of empowerment for women everywhere. Her clever response to an overly persistent suitor is a lesson in boundaries.
Mia recounted her encounter with this individual, whom she met years ago at a social event. Right from the start, she sensed something was off. “I didn’t know much about him since I wasn’t interested in getting to know him,” she explained. “He would frequently text and call, asking to take me out, but I simply wasn’t into it. His persistence became increasingly annoying.”
Despite her clear disinterest, the man’s desperation only grew. In a bizarre attempt to win Mia’s affection, he sent her photos of his credit card—both sides—accompanied by the cringeworthy message, “Just in case you ever need anything. Anything at all… Anything your heart desires.”
Mia, seizing the opportunity, decided to take him literally. She used his card to purchase a massive, inflatable bouncy castle, which she proudly shared on social media, complete with screenshots of their exchange. She even invited her followers to join in a celebration, highlighting the importance of understanding the word “no.”
Upon receiving a confirmation of the purchase, the man texted, “What is this?” to which Mia cleverly replied, “You said anything, right?” Clearly, he did open the door for this unexpected turn of events.
“I thought, ‘Wow, that was a bad move,’” Mia admitted. Initially, she hadn’t intended to use the card, as it was obviously a misguided attempt to buy her affection. However, the thought of a bouncy castle struck her as a fun idea, and she went for it. As for the man’s reaction, “He was annoyed at first but then realized he set himself up for that,” she noted. Whether he canceled the order remains a mystery, as Mia has chosen not to reach out again.
So, Mia, if there’s anything we can contribute to that bouncy castle party—maybe some snacks or drinks—just let us know!
