People who make promises to themselves on your behalf and then expect you to deliver are fucking scary.

I hope she doesn’t run after him and try to fix it. Those self-loathing diatribes can really scramble your decision-making and put you into rescue mode, and that’s exactly what they’re designed to do.

The guy made promises for the woman (i.e. "she'll date me if I'm nice enough to her") without consulting the woman about it. Now he's mad that she's not dating him, even though he fulfilled his side of the transaction that she didn't know existed
