ordered grubhub at 6am before work

[u/milflover1902]

throw back to when i ordered grubhub at 6am before work because i didn’t have time to cook before i left the house and wanted to take it with me. came downstairs to grab it since i had roommates and i didn’t wanna wake them in case they rang the door bell. driver asked me if i was eating alone and what i was up to, and then stared at me as i was going back up the stairs🙃. then checked my phone and got this message.

anyway haven’t used grubhub since.

edit: omg yall are miserable. no, a 40 year old man should not be trying to get at a 19 year old woman at her home while delivering food. especially after ogling them down, asking if they’re alone and all while the sun hasn’t even risen. please look inwards and stop being weirdos

I honestly think saying "can we be friends" comes off so much creepier than just saying something weird 😭 like it's feigning innocence to try to get a positive response when they obviously have worse intentions. Doing anything but delivering the food is way out the fucking bounds of what's acceptable but asking to "be friends" with a girl he knows is young feels so manipulative and predatory it makes my fucking skin crawl.

Shooting your shot: asking a girl in your age range out at a normal place and time.

Not shooting your shot: asking a girl half your age if she is alone while standing at her front door at 6am, then later texting the same girl “can we be friends” through a food delivery app. That’s something the bad guy in a scary movie would do.

You’re right it’s manipulative and creepy regardless of the context because clearly he doesn’t just want to be friends. You’re not fooling anyone by texting something like that. 

I’m a 40 year old dude. If another stranger just randomly said “can we be friends” out of the blue, I would be weirded the fuck out even if I thought he actually just wanted to just be friends. Because that’s not how normal people make friends. It’s what creeps say when they have no social boundaries and think they’re being slick.

Yeah I was gonna say he wouldn't message a woman his age this because he knows she would see right through that shit and find it weird. He's purposely using her age against her and hoping she's naive enough to think he's maybe just a sad lonely guy and take pity on him. It's rooted in manipulation and grooming.

I made the mistake of accepting an offer to be friends with a guy at my old job who was my age. Less than a month later he asked me out and wouldn’t take no for an answer. Finally had to get HR involved and he got fired.
