Tangent, I don't think anyone considers that abrubtly inserting yourself into someone elses bubble is actually the most honest thing someone can do if they want to meet you. It's similar to someone who curses a lot being more honest.
Manipulating a scenario so that you come off as less creepy is actually an indication of fixation, you have to think more about that action than just walking up and saying "Hi pretty lady or man". Not to mention there's the inherent subversive aspect, i.e. your relationship technically starting on a lie (that lie being the interaction was organic and spontaneous, as opposed to the truth of it being planned). Just like someone who curses has to think about not cursing (as opposed to someone who just speaks their mind).
🤷♂️ I could be stupid and just wrong about what I'm saying, but it adds up to me.
