I'm trying to puzzle out a way that this secret could possibly make OP look good. None of them are clicking so far.

Was I the only one who read the dialog as shorthand for the way OP was reading each rejection? Like, not literally saying "you're creepy go away" but heavily implying it? Or that the second conversation starter representing multiple conversations started in a similar fashion? If OP approached more than once in a way that seemed overly friendly, or not at all how a person would normally approach a stranger about a topic...well, the BNF is completely in their right to express that they're uncomfortable.

Even if I'm totally off, and everything is word-for-word, I think that implies that something OP was doing came across as creepy enough that the BNF broke social "dealing with creepers" protocol and overtly told them to back off on the very first swing. That says a lot about the way OP was approaching, purposeful or not.

But let's just imagine that this is not the case, and this particular BNF is a huge irredeemable jerk who calls people creepy for no reason. Now the OP really wants to be friends with a huge irredeemable jerk...why? Because they're relatively well-known? Because their fic is good?

I dunno, OP. It's not adding up for me. You might want to ask yourself why you want to be friends with these people so bad, and/or if you're approaching it in a way that's disingenuous.
