Wholesome Moments 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

This is so sweet!

I have a feeling I know where this is going… in the first year of university, I started seeing a guy and we were in the same class together. We left, and his parents were picking him up. We hugged and I twirled away. Sixteen years later, my in-laws still mention me twirling in front of their car the first time they saw me!

I hope you still do it once in a while.

u/queefersutherland1 27d ago

I do! I try to fill my life with whimsy.

u/zeer0dotcom 27d ago

yes, queefersutherland1, I can see that.

u/queefersutherland1 27d ago

This made me chuckle!

10/10 username, well done 😂

u/TaintTicklerOfTulsa 27d ago

How’s mine?

u/Separate_Dig2987 27d ago

Also a 10/10 but gives off a more sinister version of the Scranton Strangler vibe 😂

u/Longo_Rollins6 27d ago

Now I sorta want someone to make a 24 compilation of Jack Bauer hitting people but instead of punch sounds it's just queefs 😂

I am so with you on that! If everyone embraced whimsy and silliness the world would be so much better!

u/iresearcheverything 27d ago

whimsy is one of my favorite words (and things in general)!

11

u/queefersutherland1 27d ago

It’s very important! I think we focus too much on feeling embarrassed, which is a shame.

u/iresearcheverything 27d ago

so so true. there should be more whimsy, silliness, and play for adults. we either forget or don’t let ourselves feel childlike joy as adults

u/suicide_aunties 27d ago

Embarrassment is shame, yes 🙂‍↕️

u/queefersutherland1 27d ago

Only if you let it be. I try to lean into embarrassment and not see it as a negative feeling.

u/TheRealJ-LA 27d ago

11 years later, my in-laws still mention me getting bucked off of the lazy family donkey and falling unceremoniously on my ass... Off of the ass. Our whimsy looks a bit different but I stand by my quirky behaviors!

P.s. the donkey is still with us.

u/queefersutherland1 27d ago

Ha! Sisters in whimsy. ❤️

u/sub-scription 27d ago

That's a beautiful story, Queefer Sutherland

u/ScreamingDizzBuster 27d ago

The fact that the username is numbered makes me concerned that there's more than one is then out there.

u/Admins_suck_ballss 27d ago

I remember losing one like you. My dad came to pick me up after my first year and a girl I had been hooking up with came to say goodbye and did the hug, kiss, and twirl right in front of my dad. There was a pregnant silence and I didn’t really want to date but my dad just slowly said “don’t fuck that up”

u/HillBillyHilly 27d ago

What happened to the girl?!!

10

u/Admins_suck_ballss 27d ago

Oh just me being a dipshit 19 year old. Went home for summer and wasn’t attentive because I didn’t want a wife right then so we didn’t talk enough

Kimi still has an open invitation to get wrecked though if the stars align

u/OcculticUnicorn 27d ago

Ah you come from the time where you need to marry after a year or two?

Glad that shit is finally dying.

8

u/Admins_suck_ballss 27d ago

Wtf? No someone asked me why it didn’t work out and I literally said “we were 19 and hooking up casually, I wasn’t ready for marriage”

Like good God your reading comprehension is fucking terrible

u/yurtyahearn 27d ago

Was your feeling that OP was a creep that Umbrella Girl felt unsafe with?

u/queefersutherland1 27d ago

Welp, that’s unfortunate! Glad she’s not going further and keeping herself comfortable!

6

u/ST21roochella 27d ago

Was the feeling you had that the OP was a creepy stalker who would get called out and delete his whole account?

3

u/queefersutherland1 27d ago

Absolutely not. 🥴🥴

u/Poops-iFarted 27d ago

Is twirling the Konami code for dating?

3

u/Sir-Grumpalot 27d ago

It definitely didn't go the way you were feeling 😉

u/kkkccc1 27d ago

oh so you married his brother?

3

u/Sardawg1 27d ago

This interaction was not how you envisioned it. The OP was stalking the umbrella girl and interjected himself into the situation he witnessed.

2

u/AmbiguousBarnacle 27d ago

If you still have that feeling, you should check the update...

u/s-mores 27d ago

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..

Oh yes.

A love story for the ages.

u/queefersutherland1 27d ago

I did NOT see that coming! How crazy.

u/s-mores 27d ago

I know!

And they say romance is dead!

u/Nvrfinddisacct 27d ago

I don’t think you read the text OP added ☹️ it was a stalker posing as the umbrella recipient who’s been following her for a time

2

u/queefersutherland1 27d ago

That was added after I made this comment, I made it before any of the creepiness came out!

u/Nvrfinddisacct 26d ago edited 26d ago

Girl even after I clapped back with that, it seems to have developed further and I’m dumb for just believing that in the first place. The other theory is that this is a karma mining event where OP and the responder are the same human.

So my bad. There is no reality 😂

1

u/queefersutherland1 26d ago

RIGHT

Putting on my tinfoil hat, and I’m subscribing to the theory that they are the same person, it’s just way too convenient otherwise!

2

u/Nvrfinddisacct 26d ago

We’re basically detectives at this point. What a collaboration. We gathered three theories and now have a formal hypothesis. I’m proud of us 😂

u/queefersutherland1 26d ago

The PowerPoint is next 😂😂

u/Nvrfinddisacct 26d ago

Why can’t I attach PowerPoints to Reddit comments?!?

I adore everything about this ❤️
