I actually know a woman who, for many years, would hit on the monsters at Haunt, the costumed (furry) characters at Disneyland and any cowboy who swaggered across Knotts. It was really creepy, especially when she had no idea what they really looked like. One particularly sad moment was, while attending an SCA event of all things, this woman spent the day flirting pretty aggressively with a man in Bedouin garb. At the end of the day, said Bedouin went looking for her. When he found her, they went off to sit and chat. Once he had removed his head covering and part of his costume, she got up and walked away! Apparently, he was not as handsome in reality as she'd made him out to be in her head. I was embarrassed for her, because she didn't have the good sense to be.
