Thats how I stalk anyway.

Someone who always ask you, "What you doing"

Ring, ring, hello, I don't like that shirt your wearing, where's the one I bought you

What are the characteristics of a stalker?

after 2 dates, she sat in the parking lot of my work for hours and watched through the front windows at me, staked out my home, then left soon as I got home....then text my cell to say I had a headlight out

I think she was a stalker

Coincidence

Uh, I don't remember a bowling forum...but if I did, sorry. Just helping. No hard feelings?

I was J/K with you. You know, pretending you were stalking me.

does it count if you stalk each other sweety?

An attractive man came up to me and my son in a busy bookstore a week ago, and started a ten-minute conversation with me, finally leading to the exchange of numbers. (He checked to make sure it was my cell by calling it right on the spot, btw.) It was a vulnerable day for me....and talk of "friendship" and "buddies sans sex" came up. However, I'm in no place to be dating these days and resolved to tell him so if he followed through and called.

Anyway, he started asking where I was going after the bookstore. I thought that a bit odd, because it seemed he wanted to tag a long or make plans right then and there. I gave a fake answer because a red flag went up. Then, I noticed he started following me around the bookstore on my way to check out. He seemed overly anxious, almost desperate, very lonely. Although, to look at him and hear of his work, etc. there was nothing out of the ordinary. I made sure to get out of there quickly and ditch him by taking an out of the way route so I couldn't be followed out of the busy shopping center parking lot.

Well, he started calling me just about every day since then. I did leave a message once to say that I wasn't ready to date or even go out as friends or talk on the phone, but I'd hold on to the number if my life circumstances ever changed. I did say not to wait for me because I couldn't make any promises and that it wouldn't be fair to him or me.

Well, I thought that was clear enough, but he hasn't stopped calling and leaving odd messages to the effect of "are you okay?", "is everything ok?", and "please call me". I decided to ignore them because I already left a clear message and he continues. I feel any further action on my part would just serve to give false hope. Its a good thing he doesn't have my last name or street address. I feel afraid of his pursuit. It feels off-balance.

Put it this way, its stalking if the other party doesn't welcome the actions and makes it clear. Its stalking if the other party doesn't accept the communication and/or participate in it, even flirting and making small talk at times.

I'm clearly not responding to him and I made it clear. I have no relationship with him besides a 10 minute conversation. He is a complete stranger to me, yet he acts like I owe him something. To me, that is stalking, although a mild form.

....As a matter of fact, he just tried to call again after I wrote this. Straight to voice mail.... *sigh*
