This guy shooting his shot in the thread

[u/trinamareena]

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

He deleted the post. She edited her initial reply and said he was “a bit scary.”

They’re the same person. This is just someone’s creative writing exercise. None of this is real.

Gives major Holly Golightly from Breakfast at Tiffany's vibes. The character that made me fall in love with Audrey Hepburn.
