    There are some "opportunities" you should never take advantage of when looking for a partner, this is one of them.

    using somebody's contact details you got from working with their info to ask them out after meeting them once is insane behaviour.

    insane.

    trying to handwave that away as if its normal is ridiculous

    Your reply gave me mental anguish, now I feel unsafe.

    When people do this they either end up telling the story for years to come as the hilarious and romantic way they met or one of them gets very offended by it.

    I don't think most lads appreciate how scary some behaviour can seem, even if from an outsiders perspective it doesn't appear particularly threatening.

    Like, this guy went to her home, then swiped her number off the order info and texted her later. Most of the time if you reject a stranger who asks you out they don't know where you live. Even leaving aside the data protection and corporate policy issues, we have absolutely no idea how he came across to her in person, she might have had every reason to be afraid of what he'd do. Even if he was completely pleasant and they got along well that's weird stalker behaviour.

    My wife and her friends would have a good laugh if this happened to any of them

    But that's older women for you

    Not like today's breed of absolute morons

    I read the text and he sounds thirsty. But I kinda feel sorry for him and his innocent way of basically asking her for a date. I don't like the way it has exploded in on top of him. And all because she wanted fb to know before the relevant complaints department.. actually not before anything,.it should never have been posted on fb at-all.

    I would have a laugh as well. If I were single and thought he was attractive then I might actually be glad and praise his ingenuity.

    But sure lookit.

    Unless he was creepy in person I think this is an overreaction.

    If I started a thread about a man I fancied that lived/worked me and asked for advice on starting a conversation I'd imagine most of the advice would be to go for it. He had her number in front of him on delivery documents and he went for it.

    A lot of companies and people we haven't met in person have our names, addresses, numbers etc available to them. Delivery and taxi drivers know where we live and when we're out, yet we're all still here.

    He made a mistake and probably thought it would seem romantic.

    Honest question, are you a woman?

    A decade ago I might have agreed with you, and maybe it was an innocent **** up. But every single girl I know has a story about a guy crossing boundaries and being a dick when they're told no, and on more than 1 occasion I've had to do the pretend boyfriend bit, so while I can see why someone might laugh it off or even find it cute, I can very easily see how she views it as someone who knows where she lives crossing both personal and professional barriers and why she's mad and scared.

    I think people are more angry that she posted it on fb. All that is about her telling people::look how beautiful I am, can you believe this text I got... Upping her profile,not caring about the damage she is doing to others.

    I work with the public and have had this in reverse from customers, men and women. It doesn't really bother me but maybe its different if you are a woman and get a message like that from a man. an ex of mine got a similar text from a guy that came to her house selling broadband.

    I sometimes meet women while doing my job and get a vibe off them that they are interested but I would never text or call them first, that is very unprofessional.

    How someone can read that and go “yeah, she’s definitely the one I’m going to direct my ire at” is beyond me. What that guy did was seriously creepy, he knows where she lives, has her phone number. She was dead right to take that as far as possible.
    The fact he even thought that was a good idea.

    No. Your opinion is valid. All opinions are.

    We live in a strange age. In many ways there has been huge progress in equality between the sexes and unwanted sexual behaviour gets called out when it wouldn't have in the past.
    That's positive. It has created however a whole host of women who faint with horror at the smallest of approaches from men. Innocent interactions become filled suspicion, smiling at a woman on the street is creepy, asking her out is akin to rape.

    I just find it all a bit mad.

    Moral of the story is that she shouldn't have ordered her Rampant Rabbit for home delivery.

    Or maybe a lot if what we thought was innocent wasn't actually? And it always made women uncomfortable?

    It’s creepy that he used a telephone number which she provided to a company in relation specifically to a business transaction to contact her and ask her out.

    A seriously lack of respect and professionalism both for his employer and the lady... he hadn’t been given her number by her in any social sense or context.

    If say a courier for UPS, get assigned a delivery for yourself, bring you some goods which you ordered, you sign, They drive away... then at 8pm that night, you start getting WhatsApp messages from ‘Diego the driver’.... you’d be a bit creeped out... and you should be... that happened the only thing I’d be sending back would be a photo of some broken teeth and a number of a good implant dentist...
