What would Stacie's reaction be like if I were to offer to buy 2 weight loss bottles from her online store if we became friends on Facebook first?

Stacie declined my friends requests previously, and looked like she would've been a witch had she lived in the first Elizabethan period.

One day, when I was discussing with a fellow Aspie, and Aspergirl (woman with Asperger's) named Katie how I wanted to lose weight, Stacie overheard and then offered for me to buy her bottle of weight loss pills from her store webpage. One bottle was like $60, in May 2013. I thought to make a bargain with her - that I'd buy 2 of those bottles if we got to be friends on Facebook first, but I decided against it as well as against buying her expensive bottles.

But what if I had offered to buy 2 bottles if Stacie friended me on Facebook first? What would her reaction have been like?

And as soon as Aspie Katie would've overheard my counter-offer, would she have reacted to it also? If so, how?

This took place at a campus ministry center in my college days.

If you were that Stacie woman offering me weight loss bottles, how would you have reacted to that counter-offer?

And if you were that Katie woman with Asperger's and overheard that counter-offer, how would you have reacted?

Stacie would still not be your friend even if she agreed. This is manipulation.

This is not how organic friendships are made. This is more like a transaction.

Make sure your not fixated on the stranger, parasocial relationships can lead to stalking and unwanted attention.

Stacie would not want to talk to you again. She might even take back the offer of the weight loss pills in the first place. It’s uncomfortable and rude to pressure someone to be friends with you. I have no idea how Katie would have reacted. Why don’t you ask her?

This is way fixating on a non problem that does not need a solution.

Stacie did not want to be your friend. She was just selling. Trying to buy something in exchange for friendship is manipulation and not acceptable behavior.

Katie has nothing to do with any of it, not at all.

These are strange hypotheticals and a weird fixation. Let it go. 2013 was twelve years ago. Don’t send future friend requests to Stacie either, if you still check her page and wish to connect.
