ASSIGNMENT Case Study: GOOD, BAD, AND LOVING CASE STUDIES Case Study 2 – Susan: Social Ups and Downs At her favorite coffee shop, Susan is approached one day by someone she has seen there on many occasions. He introduces himself as Moe, and invites Susan to a party he and his friend Joe are throwing. It’s been a long time since Susan has had a social life, so she accepts his invitation. At the party, Susan is strongly admired by Moe and his friends. Moe seems to interpret every pleasant look and touch by Susan as a connection. She appreciates Moe inviting her to the party and wants to be pleasant in return, but she doesn’t want to give Moe the wrong idea. After all, they just officially met. Susan continues to enjoy herself at the party, and at the end of the night, thanks Moe for a fun evening, accepts his friend request on Facebook, and takes a cab home. Days later, Susan checks her Facebook page and discovers Moe’s daily posts about his love and affection for Susan. Susan realizes Moe has misinterpreted her friendliness at the party and knows she must clarify their relationship. She knows it may be painful for Moe, but she must be honest with him. He has made public disclosures on Facebook, and she needs to publicly clarify their relationship. Susan believes this is the right thing to do. Susan crafts a sensitive reply post in which she tries to honestly consider Moe’s perspective on their single date, to let him down gently by clarifying the reality from her perspective. She acknowledges having fun at the party and enjoying their friendly time together, but concludes by respectfully setting clear limits on their future encounters and by unfriending him on Facebook.
