    So to be clear, you are confused about… what exactly?

    In what possible way would “mind reading” even be relevant to this discussion?

      Someone said the woman in the post is expecting advances from her boyfriend, but how is he supposed to know that? Everything I’ve heard for at least the past six years has been about how we’re never supposed to assume advances would be welcome. So the mind-reading is required because the guy is expected to just know that she wants that, without her ever telling him so.
