So this just happened to me today and I need to vent because wtf.
I was walking in park at my university, minding my own business, when this guy comes up with some flowers. He says "Hi, I thought you looked nice, would you like to go to coffee with me?" He was kinda cute so I smiled and said "not now" (politely, I wasn't rude).
Then he immediately pulls out this small printed pamphlet and hands it to me. Like a folded paper brochure with info
- His name
- Height
- Age
- Bullet points on "benefits of dating him"
- His part-time job salary, how much he's left with after bills that he can spend on me for gifts/dates
- Plans to switch night shift soon for even more money to spend on me
- How happy he'd keep me, his interests/hobbies
- Etc
He pauses, looks at me expecting a response. Before I can even say anything, he launches into "If that's not possible, maybe a 10-day trial period? Completely non-sexual, no strings attached. You can see what it's like to have me as a boyfriend and evaluate if I'm worthy. I only expect your companionship, and you can leave anytime if something feels off. I'll still give everything all the love in the world. Think about it you have everything to gain and nothing to lose. At most 10 days of your time for a small chance at a lasting relationship. It's not a bad deal.
Then he points to the bottom. His number, IG, Snapchat. "If interested, please reach out. I know it's awkward. I hope I don't come off as a creep, just trying to provide value. It's not all transactional, I believe in building emotions, but I need a chance. If you're willing, I'll be very grateful. I'll be waiting for your message, sweetheart."
Then: "If not interested that's okay too, but please keep it between us so bad word doesn't spread about me and prevent me from meeting my future wife if she exists in this lifetime. Thank you for listening." And he just left.
I found the whole thing super strange. Later I asked around mutual friends/circles and apparently he's known as this very lonely guy who calls himself an incel, never had a GF, virgin, feels never loved. He approaches girls he thinks are kind (won't slap him or be super mean) and hands them these pamphlets hoping someone messages back for a date. He's had bad experiences before slapped, humiliated, mean comments just for saying hi.
I feel bad because his life sounds really sad and lonely. Should I message him? He doesn't seem like a bad person he was very polite.
TLDR: Random guy gives flowers + full dating pamphlet with salary breakdowns and proposes a "10-day boyfriend trial." Turns out he's a self described incel with a history of rejections.
