The comments on this are weird. Dude had a crush and talked to her. She must have invited him to things and now they're married. Everyone talking like he wore her down or wouldn't have stopped if she was disinterested.
Dudes do be creepy, though, but let's just leave this story be, ok.
Exactly! My partner did this to me and it worked. How else were they meant to, dunno, begin existing in the life of the other party, aka stop being a stranger?
It's easy to misread as stalker/abuser behavior, as it's worded simply and without context, and something like 40% of women will have to deal with a stalker at some point in their life.
There's a big difference between "I had a crush on her, she invited me to a thing and her friends liked me and now we're married" and "I wrote down the times this girl got out of work and when she went to the gym so that I could follow her and hit on her there, and then I infiltrated her group of friends with the intent of getting closer to her" but it's easy to accidentally make the first sound like the second unintentionally - especially when people are primed to watch out for the second.
