My son has a crush visiting our home for a few days. In typical cringey mom mode, I made an off the cuff remark along the lines of "don't worry--dad and I will make ourselves scarce in case you want to make a move." He looked at me like I had two heads and said: "I would NEVER do that. What if she isn't interested in me? That would put her in a really uncomfortable position." I have never been happier about being called out by my kiddo.
Take heart--there are good men out there. The kids are alright.
EDIT to add: It's really shocking to me the lack of reading comprehension from male presenting redditors. The young woman is STAYING IN OUR HOUSE for 4 days with nowhere to go if she's not interested. Making a move (which really just meant confessing his feelings) would be inconsiderate AF and I really wish more men realized the position they put women in when they make their feelings clear. There is a very real power imbalance when someone is housing you--a move can be interpreted as "payment" or just plain old pressure. Do better buttholes.

By her own admission, these were the mother/poster's thoughts. Weird thing to post for Reddit clout.
