I'm not trying hard at all. She doesn't know me yet.

Stop trying so hard- would be my first suggestion, specifically for you. :D

Oh good. Because- calling yourself A Creepy Stalker Puppet- and then only having a goal like say... convincing peeps that you're stalking them is fucking lame. lol You should aim higher and maybe try to convince us that you're mysterious!

She thinks you're a joke. Reaper doesn't even believe the truth when it's told to her, consistently- over and again. So good luck making her believe you're really stalking her.

I'm not going to try and convince anyone I'm stalking them. That isn't the goal.

What are your methods for gaining the trust of a target?

Well, for starters, you don't choose a name like Creepy Stalker Puppet as it just makes you look like a troll, and not someone who should ever be taken seriously.

Manipulation and deception works wonders.

The trick is to appeal to their interests. People like it when you show an interest in who they are and what they do (of course, without them knowing that your interest in them isn't genuine).

It also helps to not appear threatening in any way. Sometimes even appearing as the victim yourself encourages others to open up and drop their guard down, exposing their vulnerabilities which can then be played on.

How you gain someone's trust depends entirely on the individual, the situation and what you hope to gain from it.

That should be easy. I'll just play the opposite of you. 

I'm not trying to gain anyone's trust on this site. The question was meant to address what you do in life away from sc.
