asked to participate in a blood pact

He proposed a blood pact instead of engagement, suggesting it's a deeper commitment. I found it unsettling and laughed, which led to an argument.

What I wish I knew
"To communicate my boundaries and concerns without dismissing his feelings."
If I could tell you one thing
"Communicate openly and respectfully about your boundaries and expectations in a relationship."
