Edit: For transparency sake, the original image was only the first tweet and none of the follow ups. The negative nancies compelled me to point out their nonsense.

Based on her description of what the guy said it sounds like he was genuinely trying to just say something nice and she took it that way. As long as the email didn't follow up with a "so are you still single, let's get together" or whatever it's fine.

I think all the news of creepers out there and the Incel crowd makes it hard to see things through a positive lens, but there really are good folks out there. We all would benefit from assuming good intent when we see things like this.

Wow, most of the people in this comment section are sad to watch.

Really though. "Oh my god it's so creepy!" they say on behalf the girl who did not find it creepy but found it endearing.

Do you know what? Fuck it. I just went and found the entire chain and am editing the main post to have the whole chain instead of the first message.

Sometimes people have a clearer view of the situation outside of it than inside.

Not in this case.
