    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.
