    Have YOU ever been stalked in person!

    Tell me what you would do or if this ever happened to you!

    Yes I was stalked in early 2001. I had only just relocated to LA and I really have no idea how this man got my email and physical address - but he did. He sent me black roses every day for a week. Suppose, he hacked my computer or something because it did not matter if I changed or closed emails - HE WOULD WRITE ME.

    The last straw for me, was when he'd written me describing what I was wearing, how my hair was done and what I was doing at the time. He'd also added that when I'd woken up the night before in mid-sleep, I was not dreaming, that that was him looking down at me. He then went on to write that I should look behind me and that he was in my backyard. My backyard was a terraced Italian flair garden. I reported him to the police which gave me some piece of mind at the time.

    I decided then and there to move to northern California. Distance obviously helped stop punch that disaster.

    What I could not understand was his obsession and how it even started. Creepy!

    I would hate for anyone to experience the bad stalking.

    As far as the cute not-really stalking, I get no stalking love...

    Have YOU ever been stalked on MFP....other social networks or in person!

    This happened to me:

    I believe this happened to me...the conversation was respectful but quite weird at times...as soon as any status change or if I made a comment on his status emails several...then it went from will you email again soon...I said if I have time after work I will but I'm not sure...then once I emailed...he would say to me....you promised you would email, I waited up for you, where was you... I woke up several time looking to see if you emailed...ok weird...then it was do you have any other progress pics what are you crazy...I did it one time then I thought this is crazy when he told me he looks at my profile many times a day...freakin me out a bit! My profile states Im a married woman with 2 kids and I have photos of hubby and I together...he said I thought you had a BF...I made this very clear that I have a husband...at first before the weirdness started I thought he was lonely and needed a friend to talk to but the the emails was strange...I really was considering deleting him he was acting very different then any of my friends on here but I thought well maybe I'm just over reacting and it's really nothing...so I talked to one of my most amazing long time male MFP friends...he said drop his azz and block him....I'm so glad I took the advice and dropped and blocked!!!

    Tell me what you would do or if this ever happened to you!

    Nope. I shut people down real fast and don't engage as soon as the first red flag goes up.

    I had a stalker in college. The guy basically couldn't talk around me, but I tried to be nice. Then it just got kind of annoying. Then creepy. Then he actually put his hand on my arm at a school dance and two of my guy friends explained, nicely, that he really had to back off. My roommate was a little less nice about it. I feel protected.

    Never been stalked. I don't participate in social networking-my philosophy is: Tell the people (your personal info) you want to know in conversation, personally. Why do people think that they are so relevant that the universe wants to know intimate details about them? My advice to my kids/students was don't put it out there, it will come back to haunt you. I can't tell you the number of people who can prove that statement, such as not gaining employment, stalking, etc... The world is NOT kind. That's my 2 cents!!!!

    There's a new guy at my work that watches me sleep in my car on breaks. Does that count?

    It wasn't on MFP though.

    i think if he's watching you daily...i think it could be...move your car to a different spot away from the creeper!
  • I haven't a clue. I'm quite oblivious to women that are enamored with me for some reason ... which explains my being single. I rather like it that way - less drama. LOL

    Yeeeeeepppp, been there, done that LOL.
  • Yep I was stalked during college. He would break in my apartment and when I would come home he would have laid out an outfit on my table for me. Throw my underwear around the room. THen I moved apartments and he tried to come in my living room window while I was watching tv. Police came and chased him, but didnt get him/. I moved again and got a gun. Haven't had trouble since with him. But a guy tried to get into my vehicle with me while I was sitting at a green light. Cops came then too, I'm a magnet for idiots. lol

    Mention your NFL Linebacker boyfriend in casual conversation.

    Seriously, I had a stalker in highschool. She told all her friends that I was going to run away with her and marry her. In reality, I told her to come to my place if her father beat her again. More of less, she followed me around and tried to sign up for my classes. She was mad that I was taking honors and AP classes cuz she couldn't get into them. I finally told her that I had a girlfriend in another school. And she started asking me for the name and school.

    yes, in real life and on FB. And the same dude that stalks me and several of my classmates on FB found me on here and has requested me a couple of times. He don't use his real name on here but I can tell it's him by the weird way he talks. He almost talks like Yoda. Me and my classmates figure he did a lil too many drugs back in the day lol.

    I also have a "work stalker" where I used to work. I'm a school bus driver and I drive for one of the same schools I used to with my old company so whenever he is sent out to sub out there, he's always lurking by my bus before the kids get out of school. Now my new kids make fun of me (My old kids who still go to that school do, as well) because he's always lurking around looking for me.

    I've also been stalked a few times in the past...damn I could sit here typing all night lol

    While I was studying in Japan, I lived with a host family in a small town in Yokohama. There was a French African guy who stopped to talk to me one day while walking from the train, which I didn't find weird because we both stood out being among the few non-Japanese in the area.

    He said he wanted to be friends and I was like, 'Uh... okay?' and then he asked for my phone number. I told him I didn't have a cell phone (only a half lie, as I didn't have a Japanese cell phone) and so he asked for my email. And by asked I mean he would not take no for an answer.

    Then he asked if he could follow me home.

    I told him I really had to go and started walking away. He was just staring at me. And staring. AND STARING. I ran into the nearest convenience store, taking a bit of comfort in the fact that I know how to say "Help me" and "Pervert" in Japanese. I waited in there for a few minutes until I was sure he was gone, then ran home. Luckily that was the last I saw of him.

    OH WAIT HE TOTALLY STOPPED ME ON THE STREET AGAIN THIS TIME WITH A GROUP OF HIS FRIENDS.

    i used to do marketing at different home depots, and a guy who worked at one of them would not leave me alone. he worked in the garden center but would pop up all over the store in the different sections i was in, and would come out when i was smoking a cig and bother me. he somehow got my number and started texting me, that finally stopped about a month ago. luckily it was at a home depot on the other side of the hudson river (he told me he lives over there), and i no longer do that job so i do not ever have to see him again (that store and where he lives is over an hour away so i hope he doesn't find me). i have been stalked online too, i just blocked the people and reported their user names
