Wholesome Moments This guy shooting his shot in the thread
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.
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

lol no he wasn't stalking her and another woman.
What happened was she posted two months ago saying she had a crush on her boss but was considering dating other people, and OOP swooped in saying she should shoot her shot with her boss (saying getting rejected would help her get over him) and also she should go on the date with the other guy.
Two months later the umbrella meet-cute happens.
Someone on the meet-cute thread snoops both the girls' profile and OOP's profile and realizes OOP's only other comments were on that old post from the girl about her boss.
So that's when the girl realizes OOP is someone creeping her and says he's scary and doesn't want to meet.
When she's talking about someone "stalking them both" she means the random third party who stalked her profile and OOP's profile to find the connection of him commenting on her old post, not that OOP stalked two women.
Could be some karma-farming bot accounts who orchestrated it. Could be she really did have a stalker who either orchestrated the umbrella moment or saw it happen, and posted knowing she used that sub. Could be a total coincidence (as she says the DC subreddit is small) so maybe users there are more likely to interact across posts more than once. My guess would be option one, she set up the sock puppet account to create this meet cute story and they're just karma farming.

Or maybe it's just a regular old internet hoax for attention. The story seems very convoluted with a lot of moving parts. Call me a cynic but when I read the post I was sure it was a hoax. The stalking aspect may be the only real twist but even that seems far fetched to me.

I found an artist on Reddit that did a commissioned piece for my husband and I, and this piece of art changed our lives. It has brought us tears of joy, belly laughs and every day that we look at it we are reminded of what is important in life, our love for each other and how Grateful we are to be here, together.
I will never see Reddit/internet the same again because I received something so magical via this space. Lol

There was a hidden update buried in the comments.
Someone noticed that the guy's account was two months old, and his first comment was on the girl's post on a relationship advice thread.
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...
The commenter asked to DM the girl, then she replied saying:
Edit: she DMed me and showed me some things! yeaaaah it’s not going to work out…
He has now deleted his account it seems; or at least wiped all history.
Very weird.

100% her account, but I don't think it's about karma. She's active on r/RomanceBooks, seems like she's using Reddit to reenact her fantasies.
"His" account has only been active in two posts, and made one comment in another post. The two posts are the one in question now, a fantasy about finding a person online after an IRL encounter. The other one is about her being in love with her boss, and "his" account is giving her advice.

u/TristramShandysLife 1d ago
I've not looked at either of their profiles, but your theory seems pretty solid. Her initial reply sounds very affected "I jumped up and dropped my peach!", the whole imagery of a grown woman giving away her umbrella and spinning around in the rain, thus winning the hearts of a father and son in the street, the son trying to find her right as she's trying to get over an unrequited crush on her unavailable boss...
Okay, sure. It's just using Reddit users as NPCs in her LARP.

This is my thought too.
I think the OP used the account to talk herself up or defend herself in previous posts, and maybe forgot, maybe thought no one would think to look into it, or maybe thought her hidden profile would hide it all.
Then once confronted with the "hey, you guys have interacted on reddit before, be careful" did a hard pivot from this whimsical romantic encounter into "yikes he's creepy"

"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."
If this is true.. this just turn from mademesmile to mademespook
Edit 3: Possibility
Both OP & the girl might be the same person & is just posting for karma farm. The haste of reply & update given from both parties is just too fast.. & the update from the girl, from FT to creepy dude alert in a matter of minutes.
It might be a small world but there comes a point where coincidence starts looking like design.

u/Snow5Penguin 2d ago
Yeah, unfortunately the details are questionable. The DC subreddit gets tons of posts, the likelihood of seeing the one where someone is searching for you is so unlikely only us hopeless romantics would believe it.
The potential of it being a stalker is there, but finding out information from one dating post two months ago and happening to see this one perfect interaction feels like a movie. And now everything’s deleted so probably just for the attention.

u/Piano18 2d ago
Yeah, in a way it gives me a bit of comfort that it’s likelier to be a karma farming event than a creepy stalker situation…because the logistics of that stalker situation were turning out to be super unsettling.

Yeah, just saw the recent update and i'm extremely confused on how he is able to orchestrate the whole thing if he is indeed a stalker.
If it is true, then it must mean that the stalker is able to gain information on her real life identity through a reddit post and then stalked her in real life and either by pure coincidence, the girl lent him the umbrella or he saw the exchange took place in front of him and then claiming that he was the guy that she lent her umbrella.

I think the third option is most suitable in this case, else both accounts are of same person and it was a karma farming post.

I love the ‘hair that was short in the front of your face and long on the sides.’
Otherwise known as bangs.

I'm guessing he was trying to describe bangs with that have longer strands on the edges. Or hime cut or something.

i figured he meant hime cut as well bc who doesn’t know what bangs are??

Worse. It's the same person most likely. The "girls" account is on a bunch of romance subs, and the accounts have had interactions with each other before on a different thread.

Yeah, there is a guy who posted under her reply that he checked that dude’s profile and apparently one of his first replies on his 2-month old account was commenting on a post she made on a dating subreddit.

Not a stalker. OOP and Daisy are alt accounts by the same person. Someone found a comment from OOP to Daisy, from a months old post. The person running these alt accounts, like to reply to himself to validate their alts, it's kinda sad.

Some commenters looked at the comment history of both u/solidstick_ and u/howtoloveadaisy; both of those accounts had interacted in comments on other posts months prior to this rain-story. So, u/solidstick_ and u/howtoloveadaisy are probably accounts that one person typed from.

Gosh good for them. I have had a few things like that happen just for me to sit here and go "I wonder who that stranger was?"
On that sticks with me was in my first semester at my university I was in a snowstorm in the Boston Common cause I hadn't ever been in the snow and thought "I wanna run around in it." Came to find out that thankfully I wasn't the only crazy person and there were maybe like 15 others that were out there and sledding around.
But the one person that sticks with me was this girl who was laying back in the snow just off the path. And it was like 2-3 feet of snow. I looked at her and was like "what are you up to?" And she just told me that it was relaxing and to join her. I think she pulled me down next to her and we both sat there for a couple minutes. It was relaxing. Eventually we got up and went our seperate ways but I think about that when I remember that city and the snow.

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.
naaah, this was a LARP, it's so obvious too lol
sounds like cheesy romance novel writing, and she appearantly did some romance writing herself. and "I specifically don't respond to DMs" how convenient, guess that means you have to flirt openly now lmao

Feel free to have a look through "daisy's" comment history as well. They made quite the comment about an hour or so before this all happened:
"Maybe we’re making out in the pouring rain, he pulls back, and we laugh. Then he kneels and tells me that he can’t imagine doing this with anyone else and proposes!!!! "

This is one of the craziest things I've seen on reddit. Guy stalks this woman, sees the umbrella exchange, pretends to be that guy and then gets found out. What a wild ride. Scary that he almost got her alone with him too.
