Creepy.

she calls me creepy and to stop stalking her

That's not a social cue - it's a direct expression of a preference. And anon didn't miss it - he ignored it.

Anon explained why he didn't consider he was being creepy and (girl) didn't counter it and didn't mention it again. What does that mean?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

We don't know about what the girl said after the explanation. She probably didn't mention it again since it clearly didn't work the first time.

"Anon" kinda just ignored how she felt/told her what (at least from my perspective) amounts to "your feelings are invalid because that wasn't my intent".

As for the subsequent actions, I'd attribute that to high school level mental maturity/not knowing how to handle such situations. Talking it out would be the ideal scenario, though that rarely happens even long after high school time from what I've seen ._.

(Rant - that might not be fully related to replied to comment anymore - over :P)
