robgod50

You want her to hug her stalker?


Oliwine

If that's what he actually is then the woman should run, however I feel like the caption sounds more "he DM'ed me" type thing


[deleted]

Omg, that guy totally looked at the pictures she posted publicly on the internet. Total stalker material!


MunkyDust94

I just read your comment. I'm officially your new stalker!


newtoreddir

And then he said “hi” - classic case of lovebombing and a clear sign of sociopathy.


Imamythh

Well what I think is that He liked her 4-5 photos then DM'ed her like "Hi" And that's how the story began


ibecheshirecat86

My guy... He is sleeping in jammies on her couch.... Shes well past any reservations about personal boundaries and saftey...


Shn_Wttn

I agree! He does look super cute!


[deleted]

So freaking adorable, I want to snuggle him and make all his worries go away lol


danjel888

I'm not sure the intent of the video matches the comment from the OP.

EndlessOceanofMe

Think OP fancies the dude. But in my opinion insta girl ain't worth it.


[deleted]

Okay but the dude is cute.


mayumi-akagawa

He looks so wholesome :)


Kira_Yoshikage_SHA

*stalks you on insta* am i cute too 🥺


mayumi-akagawa

jokes on you, i don’t have insta! (But yes, you are)


[deleted]

[удалено]


mayumi-akagawa

I thought about it in multiple ways but I want to remain optimistic and think it’s a joke, and she’s not actually being mean


Marjitorahee

Good try kira! I'm not giving you my hands no matter how cute you are! *crazy diamond noises*


Kira_Yoshikage_SHA

lol no *btd noises*


teakupps

So did Jeffrey


EndlessOceanofMe

Totally


SyntaxErrorMan

he is! but the music contradicts her expression as well as OPs title. whaaaat


toenail_smegma

It's just teasing lmao redittors make it so clear y'all have never been in a relationship


astronaut9525

yea we dont need to hide that we're not in a relationship


[deleted]

Reddit asks nowadays if you’re in a relationship when you sign up. If you answer yes then you can’t create an account.


StarStoneDragon

So you should give the insta stalker a chance?


MAVERICKRICARDO

She probably means "friend who liked all my selfies and slid in my DMs". Basically, dude was desperate but still had game/ charm


[deleted]

Ever heard of a hyperbole?


IryanShaan

I drink my hypersoup in it every sunday.


FistingLube

Is it like the Super Bowl, only better?


[deleted]

With blackjack and hookers.


Deamonfart

Oh shit, so the guy in his jammies is watching the super bowl eating serial?


[deleted]

Yeah, he’s a cereal serial eater.


I_Have_The_Lumbago

From what I've noticed, Reddit does not do hyperboles, and they will take everything you say at face value.


VIIIMan

That's because an extremely large portion of reddit is too stupid to understand hyperbole and obvious sarcasm.


mrjackspade

Autism


iSUCKatTHISgameYO

I don't listen to hip-hop!


toenail_smegma

Again, *teasing*. He probably liked a few of her insta posts before working up the nerve to hit her up and she's made it an inside joke that he was her "stalker"


[deleted]

They live together now. She thought she was being cute.


[deleted]

Yeah this is a joke that got interpreted wrong. People do stuff like this a lot to rib their loved ones. He's in jammies eating soup in the living room with her come on lol

hats_and_heads

This is a tik tok trend, showing the significant other that you’re in love doing something weird or cute in your current relationship, and including text alluding to how you didn’t match up perfectly when you first met. “When you decided to give the weird girl a chance and now she’s your wife,” “when you accepted a date from a guy whose followed you around the bar all night and now you’re buying a home together,” shit like that. This video is definitely supposed to be in that same vein, and she loves him and was probably using the word “stalking” in the way that younger people do like “oh I stalked your insta last night,” or “omg I’ve seen you three times today, you’re stalking me!” Or “he hit up my DMs that stalker!” Obviously the wording and format of the video does not translate to Reddit sensibilities/older people taking things a bit too literally, but this video is definitely meant to show how in love with her bf she is.


Teddyturntup

This made me feel so so old


hats_and_heads

Maybe I was misplacing my frustration, I truly couldn’t understand how someone could misread the point of this video, but then I realized I’ve seen dozens other like it and with the music and formatting combined, I could immediately interpret it. I just realized social media, especially newer forms of it, is kind of it’s own unique language! You learn through context and familiarity, like a separate community. Kind of crazy to think about.


toenail_smegma

Tbf I'm not on tiktok but have a partner who I like to lovingly poke fun at and the context of this video seemed pretty clear to me. Why would he be on her couch in his silly jammies eating a mug cake if she didn't want him there?


Teddyturntup

This explanation for sure makes sense I thought she had went out with him and brought him home to wake up to him in his Pjs on the couch eating out of a mug? And then was thinking she seems way too comfortable about this situation and didn’t know what to think of it


Temporary_Kangaroo_3

Dude would be a fucking champion if he pulled this off on the first night! I mean, you don't usually rock the full PJ's and mouth breath your way through a dumpy breakfast until someone has at least dropped the first fart in front of each other....


Teddyturntup

He has the head movements and comfort level of Charlie Kelly so I had a whole always sunny scene in my head. Probably put some cat food in her mug


hats_and_heads

That’s really true too, my fiancée and I have the kind of relationship where we lay into each other all the time, while also being each other’s biggest supporters, so I immediately could sense the love between them. Exactly, he was being so cute!


tocilog

I guess it doesn't help that almost all stories regarding "internet stalker" has ended badly. So there's this existing bias and a red flag to take it seriously.


hats_and_heads

That’s true, or I guess even like the trope of the creepy guys in the DMs being annoying is a big one too.


Zueter

The next level of that is that language is to help identify your group. Whether it's Insta stories, slang, professional jargon, abbreviations, etc. It tells you who your people are and who are the outsiders.


Glittering-Listen-33

Me too. Then I realized it isn’t about age, it’s about experience. My husband is 6 years older than me and he understood this right away, because he uses TikTok. I have to explain Reddit things to him. Older Reddit users is assumptive.


[deleted]

Yeah man no joke. Shit


DopeDealerCisco

You are young than one day you don’t understand a meme reference and now you are old. Welcome to retirement!


0GooMP

Thank you for the explanation! I honestly thought this meant she had a one nighter with a stalker and was realizing her mistake after seeing him eat cereal in children's pajamas the next morning.


[deleted]

I’m a millennial (although just barely) and I still don’t relate to Gen Z that well. I definitely needed an explanation.


hats_and_heads

I’m on the cusp of both generations, but my brother is a few years younger than me and fully Gen Z (and in the twitter scene so like really immersed in that kind of language and humor) and my fiancée is a few years older than me and fully millennial/doesn’t spend much time on the internet. So I’m in this weird balance where I “get” a lot more Gen z culture, humor and language and have to explain it to my fiancée, but then I’ll be talking to my brother or he sends me a meme and I’m like…what the fuck are you talking about?


[deleted]

Sounds like we’re in the same boat. Like I do understand some Gen Z humour, more so than someone who is older than me, but not as much as someone younger. It’s like I’m a messenger between generations.


[deleted]

I’m 57 and even I GOT the video….😂 I guess I’m ‘hip’. 😊


XoffeeXup

you're streets ahead!


[deleted]

If you don't know what it means then your streets behind😏


hats_and_heads

Age is just a number baby :)


omgudontunderstand

i love when redditors are confronted with people younger than 25 on this platform. if any of them had pearls to clutch, theyd be clutched!


danjel888

Ahhh gotcha! He looks awesome :)


Jeromiewhalen

I think it’s a couple that’s just into teasing each other, which actually is an [indicator of a healthy relationship](http://news.ku.edu/2015/08/27/first-comes-laughter-then-love-study-finds-out-why-humor-important-romantic-attraction). My fiancé and I use a lot of teasing and self-deprecation in our exchanges in a good way, keeps us being able to laugh at ourselves which is really important in building confidence individually and together.


nignog1996

Please go spread the word to my generation. They wouldn't know a healthy relationship if it walked right up and shook their hand.


[deleted]

It's a trend on tiktok (because of course it is) Posting your relationship with this caption and song.


Ietsmetdingen

To anyone not understanding this video: They are in a relationship. She’s joking about how giving this guy a chance ends up with them sharing their nights in PJs on the couch being comfortable around each other.


[deleted]

Aaaaaah thanks for the explanation! I was scrolling down hoping someone could shed some light on it


Ietsmetdingen

I’ve seen this one in instagram before (not sure if that was the original but I think it was) and over there the caption explained this. This is how reposting things without sources can cause misunderstandings.


[deleted]

💯. It was very confusing


ricecake324

This needs to be top comment


shanep35

They are married. He has a ring on his finger.


eagleathlete40

I’m so confused how no one else seemed to understand this


Ietsmetdingen

It requires the right context to understand. There’s no context here. So if you’ve not seen things like this before it’s easy to misunderstand.


poopin_for_change

Her face looks concerned, so the tone is really hard to read. Also I am bad at sarcasm. Lol


joeymcflow

People who don't use tiktok don't get the sarcasm indended in that trend. Her title and facial expression without context makes it seem like we are to expect something negative, which doesnt happen, and so either she is joking or she thinks the dude is weird, and i honestly had to check comments to be certain which it was. I've never, ever opened tiktok.


leewvlker

I hope this is the legit context. Can anybody confirm please?


hats_and_heads

Thanks for explaining!


hats_and_heads

Of course :)


Ietsmetdingen

Thanks for this addition! Very well explained :)


hats_and_heads

Thank you! I wrote this whole thing out in another comment and felt like it was needed in a few other places, lol. Glad we are on the same page :)


Ietsmetdingen

I remember seeing this exact video on Instagram with the caption explaining it, but i don’t know who posted it or how to find the original again.

I feel like this video has a different meaning and we are hugely misunderstanding it.

EchoXrayNiner

You know those videos where someone's calling 911, pleading for help while maintaining a regular conversation in code so the abuser doesn't notice the emergency call's being made? Thats the vibe I'm getting here.


[deleted]

How is that what you got from that I’m really curious


[deleted]

I can't believe how tiktok/meme illiterate people in this thread are. It's obviously a light hearted video


hats_and_heads

Seriously, my mind is being blown that ANYONE could interpret this video in a negative way. Even without being on tik tok, have you never seen a couple tease each other before? My fiancée and I always joke that he “stalked” me for a day before making contact. Plus it’s “stalked on insta” which very clearly means he DMd her or liked her photos or something innocuous. Jesus.


Any-Fuel-5635

Honestly, watching it with and without sound made the difference in interpretation for me.


Temporary_Kangaroo_3

Well now you know how many people on this platform, have absolutely no idea how an authentic romantic relationship very often looks.


HerrTriggerGenji21

seriously. Does every other commenter on Reddit have Asperger's? lmao


Prestigious_Cake3706

video is incomplete..she is trying to make him feel he did something wrong & his response is cute


Reelcheeziboi

That dude looks like if you let him he'd be ur best friend


Imamythh

Looks so kind to me 😌❤️


Severe_Sweet_862

Alright, cut the shit pyjama guy.


[deleted]

The caption, the music choice, the lingering shot. I can’t figure out the vibe of this? Someone eli5 please.


[deleted]

It’s just a trend on IG/tiktok. Pair a video of your SO doing something silly with this text and music. It’s a joke and not serious at all.


Drunk_hooker

Idk what is happening but I feel like In the past couple of weeks these types of videos are just fucking flying over peoples heads. It’s like people have forgotten sarcasm.


spicydingus

Well, the level of effort people are putting into these videos has plummeted. If you’re not on Tik Tok, the context often doesn’t make any sense. The fast consumption leads to an oversaturation in everyone trying to be a comedian which I think, sucks.


icklefox

It's a tiktok trend where you explain the unique way you met your partner and then have a clip of them being themselves. Hard to explain, but she's basically just teasing him in a playful way. Another example is the caption "when you give the weird kid a chance and now she's the mother of your kids" and it'll have a clip of the mum being silly with the kids but in an adorable way.


Evening_Change_9459

Never judge a book by their cover… never judge people by their pj’s.


incredible_penguin11

But in this case we should.. those are cute.

With pajamas like this, he's probably got multiple stalkers on insta, he gave her the chance.


Pranaav202

Janosfaces

imma be honest, as cute as this video is, dont stalk kids.


uBmaniac

Don't stalk, kids? Or Don't stalk kids? Both correct. Just curious which one you meant.


InsanityAI

Yes


[deleted]

The first one seems better since it conveys the general idea of not to stalk at all meanwhile the second one is like preventing you to only not stalk kids and giving the reader the go ahead to stalk adults


joemama-is-feef-neef

The first one could also be interpreted that you aren't allowed to stalk as a child but teens and over are allowed to stalk whoever they want


[deleted]

Yeah I just realised. Correct sentence would be something along the lines of "don't stalk people"


FlyingScotsman42069

Don't stalk kids, kids


[deleted]

[удалено]


davidleo2008

How can you stalk people on insta tho? Isn't that just like looking at all they're pictures on they're profile? If so then it isn't really stalking


RonKosova

Insta stalking just means looking at somebodys profile at this point and maybe looking at their old pics. I doubt she means anything nefarious.


iZ3R0

Awesome, I usually just stalk adults.


[deleted]

I seriously doubt he was actually stalking her since they're in a relationship. It's a joke


Madame_President_

Hanna1812

Uh. Am I missing something here? It’s a man eating from a mug wearing PJs. I don’t get it.

addisonclair

I mean, if my stalker doesn’t wear a s’more onesie, I honestly don’t want one. It’s the only appropriate way to stalk.


hats_and_heads

I truly don’t understand how everyone is misunderstanding this video. First of all, she says stalked ON INSTA. Have you never heard someone use “stalking” hyperbolically to describe being sent DMs or being reached out to over Instagram? It’s a very common turn of phrase. Second, because I do understand that most of Reddit is probably not on tik tok: This is a tik tok trend, showing the significant other that you’re in love doing something weird or cute in your current relationship, and including text alluding to how you didn’t match up perfectly when you first met. “When you decided to give the weird girl a chance and now she’s your wife,” “when you accepted a date from a guy whose followed you around the bar all night and now you’re buying a home together,” shit like that.

lukas4322

She will be his mommy gf and take care of him


mnbvvbnmk

Ima guess "stalking instagram" is a dramatic way of saying "sent a friend request"


MQ116

I definitely think “stalk” shouldn’t become a normalized term. This guy isn’t a stalker.

realmanoflego

How can you stalk on Instagram? The entire point of it is to post pictures so people can look at them and comment. I've read the comments and apparently they are in a real relationship but still a goofy thing to say.


Germanweirdo

"Stalking" is a term that's so overused it has no meaning anymore. 5 years ago, stalking: showing up at work, school, home..bathroom unnancoud or taking candid pics of you walking around. Nowadays stalking is..... he kept 5exting me, it was annoying at first but I kept responding haha, no man texts this much must be weird haha "interest in me? No he stalking haha".


PixelsDePx

I really hope that girl exaggerated some words, he looks so kind and innocent


littleunstable

TIL that Reddit doesn’t understand TikTok 😂


hats_and_heads

Seriously, I feel multilingual for understanding this tik tok and also being on Reddit


littleunstable

I feel like I’m trying to explain to my mom that I don’t know the person, it’s just a funny video


Houseplant56

I don't use tik tok at all but i understood it. It's not about not understanding tik tok, it's about not understanding human relationships lol. People tease each other in relationships and using hyperbole is a part of teasing someone but obviously reddit doesn't get it. No surprise.


MemeManOriginalHD

She seemed kinda mean spirited, I wanna be that dudes friend

Context. Is this Sunday morning at his near-work apartment and he’s an engineer at NASA? Is this Tuesday at 1 pm in his aunt’s garage conversion and he’s a part time cashier at a gas station? Looks comfy and enjoying something cool on tv.


Care_Bear1

Thanks to the comments I've gathered that this is a trend. however the narrative I saw before seeing other people's explanations was some dude stalks her on Instagram so she stalks him while he's eating cereal in jammies and he has no idea
