a handsome hunk trails you till the block you live in. the next day , you find him at your office entrance and the next day you find him gazing from the opposite table at the coffee bar!! he seems more of a harmless kind, doesn't bug you with untoward gestures and words. this continues for 4 consequtive days.
what would you do?

Hhhmmm?!! Handsome ha?! But following you for four days?!! Maybe he likes your hair and make up..~~lol Just kidding. To much tension here..~~lol
Well, I will suggest you to be really careful. To look harmless or handsome nowadays are great attributes for making or planning horrendous crimes. And report it at once to the police, because it doesn't mean he is following you less, he is less interested. Maybe the reason why he is following less this day. It's because he memorized all the time, gestures and places he needed to know. And now, he is concocting his mischievous plan. I'm not trying to scare you my friend. I mean it's better to think of the worst in this kind of situation. And to take immediate preventive measures against it.
If ever, you try to talk to him. Don't do it alone. Be with a male friend or a law enforcer, but maybe not in uniform, so not to scare him or intimidate him, which may lead him to hide his true motives.
Anyway, be careful my friend. I think I'm not that gorgeous to have someone religiously following me.~~lol Just kidding.. Take care ha. Stay gorgeous! :-P (^^,)

i really appreciate you, as always. you have pointed it out right. i am not a scared type but still this kind of things do make you disturbed. going to police, eventually, would be the right move. i have started to gather resources to handle him.
thanx a lot. aphroditei.
PS: and yes dear, someone with such a big heart cannot be less gorgeous. i have always believed that you are beautiful.
Did you say that i am gorgeous!!!

Ticky situation but I think an irritating one. No one likes to be stalked in this manner.... irrespective of the intention of the other fellow. It is not correct to trail someone. There is no question of he/she looking harmless.....if it continues for four days... you need to take a stand... may be need to talk to him....may be ask someone to talk to him/her on your behalf.....and if need be ignore him completly. You require immense patience to tackle this kind of problem.

as of now, the frequency has come down and he is slowing down gradually. i just hope this goes away completely. i donot want to go to police, that would be my last resort.
thanx deepak.

Yes, approaching police should be the last option. At the moment I am thinking that ...ignoring him completely...would be the better option.

At the end of the 4 days, I think i'd ask him what the heck he was doing following me around. Depending on his response i'd either slap a restraining order on the man or just ignore him. It would depend on what his motives were, but I would find it very creepy to be followed around by someone. lol

To be frank I don't know what to do. It's your headache after all. The wise way is to ignore him. But at times we can't. The more you concentrate on him the more headache for you. Better try to skip. He is not harmful anyway. Sorry, make up your mind yourselves and get rid of it.

Hello mimpi. I'd surely be flattered ;) and never go out alone! I'm concerned for you. Are you sure he is harmless? Or just appear to be harmless. I say there is quite a difference between being and appearing, don't you think so my friend? Please do always be on guard. No matter how handsome, religiously being followed by someone gives me the creeps.
On a lighter note, maybe he just couldn't resist your perfume? Or could it be a case of mistaken identity. You might look like someone he lost for all we know. Whatever the case, DO TAKE CARE. Has it been resolved already as of this posting? Thanks and good day.

Being a handsome hunk doesn't make him less dangerous. I would ask him why he is following me and if he continues to follow me I would turn him in to the police. Also, there is the possibility that someone has hired him to follow to see what I am doing. I would tell him to leave me alone.

Humm....I'd told my friends/ sisters/ brothers about him and asked them to keep an eye of him...if possible do the opposite, he's been following you and maybe ask somebody you know to following him....hehehe. It can be that he has crushed on you or maybe stalking you...so the there are many possibilities. As long as I'm not sure what his motif, I'd say...keep your distance and tell somebody about it so they can also keep an eye on him....

I would go to him and try to chat with him to see what he is like and tell him to stop trailing me because it scares the hell out of me. When you will speak to him, look at his eyes, usually people that have mental illness do show it in strange reactions that reflects in their eyes. If you do think that this person is not right at his head, just go the same day to the police and inform them of someone that is trailing you for four days now, it is important.
I know that i had a roommate when i first got to the big city, i was just 20 years of age, and i rented the first room i could get, so i did not know the roommate well.
He was a bit strange, but i did not pay that a lot of attention, because i had a lot of things of my own to do, but when he started to trail me to every where i went to, including my job place i started being affraid. And this is even worse because he was my roommate and we lived at the same house. I actually was scared going back home.
So i just went to him and told him that it is disturbing, and i would appreciate it if he would stop doing that. I also asked him, what was the reason for him to do that, and he just said that he likes me. That was a very strange answer, and i felt somthing is not right here.
So te next day in the morning when he was at his regular job, i just found out his mothers phone number, and decided that i have to speak with her and know if her son is OK, because he did not seem OK. Her answer was that she will meet me the next day when i finished my work shift.
It was a strange thing, because she lived about 2 hours drive from where i was living, but i did not ask questions and we did agree to meet on the next day.
When i met her, she apologized and started telling me that are son is suffering from schizophrenia and i would have to talk with him in a certain way and explain him that i do know that he suffered from this problem. Well she did give me a few tips, and she added that it was a good thing to call her and that she hopes that he told me that he also suffers from epilepsy.
Now, i have to be clear here, i do not have any problem being with people that suffer from different illness, but i do want them to take their medicine. It does help balance them, and she and me found out that he stopped doing that.
I was a bit unbalanced emotionally from all of this story.
I do come from a house that my two parents treat people with problems and work with people that suffer from mental problems, but to be along, young girl at a big city, getting trailed by my roommate, is not an easy situation.
OHH, and yes he was a very good looking guy, all my friends that saw him, said i did a good bargain here, lol, i did not share with them that he had problems.
In the end he left the apartment, because we did have another incident because he decided he does not want to take his medicine. so all i am saying is, just be careful and do not hesitate going to the police if you think that this guy is a bit strange and can put you in danger.

thanx liran for sharing this. i did come across another discussion where you had referred to the same guy, i guess. this shows the extent to which you had been disturbed and i can relate to that. taken the kind of person i am, it feels eerie and disillusioned all the time and i cannot concentrate on important things in life.
yes, he is still stalking only the frequency has decreased. i am putting up ignornance on my face. i just hope the frequency decreases and fades away. otherwise i will go to police.
thanx.

What is your gut feeling about this handsome hunk? Might it not be a dream come true if he is indeed just innocently and madly in love with you?
I would think though that if you are sure he is a stalker, get some protection - find a friend to accompany you. Make a police report just in case too.
