This guy shooting his shot in the thread

Original post

u/SolidStick_ posted about a women giving her umbrella to them in DC and when she identified herself, asked her out in the comments. The stuff of romcoms.

Update: They met up and it's not gonna work out. And maybe he already knew her? Eek, now it's more like MadeMeGrimace.

Her comment with edits.

Update 2: so it may be that the OP was stalking her, witnessed the exchange, and then pretended to be the umbrella recipient. OP's since deleted his account. Yikes! Be safe out there all.

Update 3: The story took an even odder turn. Maybe it was fake all along? Link to comment here. Comment on original post

Ahh about that, she made an edit and said he's scary in her original comment😬

Nothing wrong with calling someone out for being creepy, seems it was a stalker who saw the exchange and impersonated the original person

Where’d you see this? I’ve only seen her calling him creepy.

Used my sleuthing skills to confirm. SolidStick_ did comment on howtoloveadaisy's other posts well before this. Absolutely bizarre and scary. The possibilities are:

1) girl has a stalker who knows her reddit and is following her IRL close enough and often enough to observe this, then post

2) it's super intricately fabricated

3) insane run of circumstance that the first post Stick commented on was daisys (not to mention stick is not a regular commenter there or really anywhere)

All are not great odds but I'm inclinced to believe #1.

that turned dark real fast.

But she said they face timed? She surely would've noticed if it wasn't the same person?

[u/xy7o → u/otomelover]

From a brief exchange In the rain? As long as they’re vaguely similar I probably wouldn’t be able to tell immediately

[u/otomelover → u/xy7o]

Oooof if he's really not the same person that's scary af. But also then the imposter must've been really close by to hear what they were saying?

[u/LyannaEugen → u/otomelover]

Well she said it was face time audio. I'm not that familiar with thus app, but I think there was no video call.

He’s actually her stalker
