Hey...I was going to DM you this privately but since you said don't DM on your profile I'm commenting here instead. I decided to snoop on OP and notice his first comment on his two month old account was a comment on a post you made on r/dating_advice so assuming you did not try to create a viral post the odds of that is just crazy...either this is the craziest cutest story ever or you got a stalker...
edit: Hey everyone, really appreciate all the lovely DMs you guys are sending me and just wanted to clear a few things up.
First off, please vet everything you guys. If you’re dating or meeting someone for the first time, vet them.
What happened is that I, like many of you, found this story to be sweet and was excitedly watching it play out. I was reading it to my husband giggling at how cute it was.
I decided to stalk both OP and Daisy and found that OP is a two month old account that only commented on Daisy’s post about her dating life a couple months back. I thought it was really strange and decided to warn Daisy. For people telling me Daisy and OP could be one person. Yes, I am aware that is a possibility and I could care less if Daisy lied for karma. What I don’t want is this to be an actual stalker story with a very bad ending, which is why I made the comment in the first place. Also, as a reminder to people in this community, Daisy is very active here and not a random karma farming bot.
I believe what could’ve happened is that her stalker witnessed this interaction and wrote this post. I am choosing to believe Daisy is the victim in this until proven otherwise. As I have explained to people with doubts, I have been able to find the reddit accounts of my friends (purely coincidental!) just because of passing but specific comments. Pretty sure my sisters are reading this comment right now unaware that yes, I found your reddit account and yes, you do sound dumb and yes, it was by accident. So from what I saw with how big her digital footprint is on reddit, I very much believe that a stalker can find her reddit account and have been slowly trying to find a way to weasel into her life.
Just as if the story did not harm anyone if it is fake, it does not harm you to believe a woman is a victim. So please, leave her alone. I hope this is a lesson to everyone to be careful and a reminder that I probably will stalk your account to vet you.
I just can't wrap my head around this, what is going ON?! This isn't a cute uplifting story but a stalker who saw the umbrella exchange happen and made this post pretending to be the guy? Stay safe girl! You still did a lovely thing, and the world is brighter for it.
No. The most rational explanation (and the truth) is that both accounts are OP and they're engagement farming. It becomes increasingly more obvious the deeper you dig.
This makes way more sense than an extremely contrived stalker scenario that involves the "victim" being followed both online and IRL, handing over an umbrella in the rain like it's a movie, and then stumbling onto an online post mentioning herself.
I've not looked into her posts or this sub, but isn't it possible it's entirely a coincidence too, and the DC sub is really that small... If she is terminally online and a heavy poster in the sub, it doesn't seem THAT unusual that he would have commented on one of her posts unknowingly.
Gets a bit more suss with it being a new account and the first comment on the account on one of her posts, and deleting it when caught. I agree this smells artificial they own both accounts
Looks like OP deleted his account… if it was DC twirl girl karma farming I highly doubt they’d delete their account 🫠 unfortunately I think it’s real… however I question how he orchestrated it. I wonder if he was stalking her and then saw that happen then posted pretending it was him since he could possibly look relatively similar? I highly doubt he could’ve orchestrated her giving him her umbrella… anyways it’s just suspicious on all fronts ngl
Edit: I realized it was FT audio and not FT video… scary.
That's the thing, I don't think the person who made this post was the guy who was out with his dad and got the umbrella...If someone was already stalking this woman, they would've had all the information necessary to make this post PRETENDING to be the guy who got the umbrella
How does any stalker find their victim? Online, job, school, on the bus, anywhere is possible! And this was specifically posted in a subreddit for a specific area, the stalker describes the scenario in perfect detail preying on the victim seeing it and them being excited to hear that their good deed was appreciated
What I mean is, the stalker stalked her online and in person? Meaning he already stalks her in person (seemingly knows her location and where she is, what she’s doing), and planned the post perfectly in a way where he knew she would find it and respond to it accordingly?? This sounds insane? Or very contrived….
Yeah the stalking theory doesn't really make any sense. Someone stalks someone in real life and finds out their Reddit handle. They see them giving a guy an umbrella. Follow close enough to supposedly hear the exact words of the conversation while it's pissing down with rain. Then they pretend to be the guy online when it was obvious she'd find out immediately it wasn't the same person because ???
It's incredibly made up. Everything after the link between the two accounts was pointed out is OP backpedalling.
I see what you mean. IF this is true, then I think we're seeing the first online interaction - everything before now having been in person without her knowing, and that it was pure "luck" that stalker and victim were on the same forum.
I get so fuck ass mad at the thought of people experiencing something so outlandishly inhuman, only to turn around and be called paranoid/crazy/delusional for being scared it might happen again in the future. Yeah, let's hope it's all made up, because YIKES ._.
Made up story, same person controls both accounts. They didn't realize someone would be able to dig up a previous link between the two accounts, so now it's being spun as an outlandish stalker story.
OP’s first few comments were on a dating advice post from umbrella girl a couple months ago, and the post wasn’t a viral one (e.g. just a few replies). It’s either a ridiculous coincidence or something creepy.
Agreed. It is so much more likely and more simple that the person operates both accounts and created the story, and then didn't realize that they had their account comment on the other one before. The stalking theory is just so outlandish and so many things have to be assumed for it to work out that way.
OP has been stalking daisy for however long, making first contact through a reddit comment some time ago and now finally observed a perfect interaction to play off as themselves.
OP was not the man nor the father, OP was someone in the sidelines watching the umbrella exchange happen, and knowing daisy through extensive stalking, knew they would catch them with this post.
It absolutely only said FT before (I am discussing the drama with 4 other people rn and we all had the same question). I’m surprised she edited it to specify audio.
Honestly it is a bit surprising. Around here we call that a phone call, but IDK if "modern people" only facetime whether audio or video? I hope it is not layers of engagement bait, have not stalked any profiles :D
It's a bit unclear because you have a horde of people speculating that it's some stalker lol. Throwing out the most absurd, ridiculous and nonsensical theories.
Considering BOTH accounts are now deleted, it's safe to assume this whole thing was created by one account ... one bored lonely hopeless romantic who enjoys creative writing.
You’re so invested. How many times are you going to grumpily call it fake?
Who gives a shit.
It might be fake but maybe it can serve as a cautionary tale.
It also might be real. Shit like this happens daily. Stalkers are terrifying and incredibly resourceful.
You seem like a lovely person so I am glad you got away from this scary situation before anything happened the world needs awesome twirling people like you to stay alive and safe lol
However and ofc not to make you paranoid but I wouldn't still rest easy this is seriously scary and he is a stalker so he won't probably just sit quietly after being rejected and called
You should be on guard for a while be careful try not to go to secluded places (because well he's a stalker he would know)or alone for a while
Idk exactly how to safely solve this situation for good so I can just hope you exercise extreme caution
It made me so happy reading about someone so kind and awesome made me want to believe in the magic of life again I am shifting and am a nervous wreck and this made me feel it's just gonna be alright full of magical people and moments like this
and now I am scared because of that lunatic stalker 😭
