>Telling someone you're going to kill yourself if they don't date you is clearly just trying to be friendly.

Exactly, it just looks like a joke, banter to lighten the situation. It all depends on context, that we don't have.

The person he told it to reported him so clearly it wasn't received as a joke.

Indeed, but that might just be them thinking suicide (or threats of suicide) shouldn't be joked about.

People really should find and pass around a link to a full writeup of that event rather than relaying rumours.

when did she report him? 40 years later? My memory is already fading for interactions just 5 years back, much more drunken interactions...
