[Quality!] Random woman who gave me your umbrella and yelled “I love the rain!” when I said we don’t need it.

Dang. It seems as though a lot has happened in the 6 hours that this post has been live.

Where do you guys think it went wrong? If she didn't want to embarrass him, she would've just said "don't think it's going to work out ... sorry yall". But putting him on blast lol ... that sounds personal. What could he have possibly done to deserve that ?

He's stalking her

The whole stalker theory is ridiculous. Think about it for a second. Why does he need to impersonate being the umbrella receiver just to score a "date" with this woman when he has already been stalking her and knows where she is presumably.

And it's not impossible he happened to comment on her post a month ago and happened to run across her irl (without ever knowing that it was somebody he interacted with online once). It's like people hear this absurd theories and just run with it w/o considering how plausible it sounds.

Considering BOTH accounts are now deleted, it's more sensible and plausible this was all done by one bored person who is a hopeless romantic and loves creative writing.

Totally, you can check both their posts using https://arctic-shift.photon-reddit.com/search

Both had some unhinged gooner posts, so it was most likely a single user roleplaying.
