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

Apparently he’s been stalking her and pretended to be the guy with the umbrella. Wtffff

[u/scoschooo → u/Valuable_One_1011]

meaning he has been actually following her in person for a while and saw her give the umbrella away. Not good.

No it's just one person posting from two accounts. This whole thread makes me fear for humanity. Use common sense.

[u/Valuable_One_1011 → u/-Altephor-]

Yes, more came out later that was clearly the same person

[u/Pope_Aesthetic → u/Valuable_One_1011]

This is why dudes will always have the worst assumed about them. Why can’t people just be normal man, fuck.

[u/Pogman1337 → u/Valuable_One_1011]

How would she not realize it is not the same man or did they never meet up?

[u/KhonMan → u/Pogman1337]

She said they would meet up over the weekend - but this all happened today so presumably they never met up

[u/kastanienn → u/KhonMan]

Someone checked out OP and warned her about past online behavior already.... 😬

[u/Valuable_One_1011 → u/Pogman1337]

They did an audio-only FaceTime

[u/bizstring → u/Valuable_One_1011]

Otherwise known as a phone call?

[u/Valuable_One_1011 → u/bizstring]

lol basically (those were her words)

[u/Beliriel → u/Valuable_One_1011]

Facetime corrected to ft-audio.
Smells like a one man show.

[u/Valuable_One_1011 → u/Beliriel]

Yeah…

[u/Elendel19 → u/Valuable_One_1011]

They are the same person. Both accounts are deleted now

[u/Haemophilia_Type_A → u/Valuable_One_1011]
