What happened to me is not stalking I suppose. My ex claims that he was looking for me for many years in friendster (when it's still up) and facebook and he has found me finally on a tag of my High School class photo. He's married now and is still trying to work things out with me... Sheesh weirdo and immoral, right? I ignored him and we're not friends anymore. I think you'd have to set your profile privately and never accept friend request from stranger. If he's talking you in your blog then I am not sure what to do.. as it's not wise to just change your domain or website.

I hate stalkers! When it happens to me I immediately block him/her in the site I meet the person and, in an extreme case, I go to the police station and change my mobile number, as I do 3 years ago. Hope this person won't bother you anymore! :/

Well, it's so weird and bad of him to do this. I remember you had said he is still in touch with u and u r good friends. But now he is into this stuff!! Best and only way is to delete him from ur list and NOT ADDING ANY STRANGER IN THE FUTURE IN ANY SITES U USE! Some people get bliss by spoiling the peace of mind of others. Just ignore him and enjoy ur online life:) Cheers my mammots:)

I agree it's not easy to ignore when someone keeps haunting us like this. But there is no other way to deal with this I think. Once he has gained access to you on net and you have given some details to him yourself, it's not easy to get rid of him. Only option for you is to be away from internet:( Or maybe open a new account in that site and not add any of the old friends:(

staying away from the internet is a very sad thought my buddha3:( my life would be incomplete and very gloomy without it:( i will miss my friends:( opening a new account and not adding anyone of my old friends is a better option...

Just keep ignoring him and if he doesnt stop doing this than you should complain about him as it can lead yu to trouble.

I would suggest you to make a new boyfriend who would be stronger than your Ex so that he can get away with all the insecurities caused by ur Ex 4 u:)

i'll try to ignore him BrianDaniel but its not going to be easy considering that he is stalking me on the net wherein acquiring information about a person is easy!

Just inform him that you would like him to stop what he is doing as it is hurting you and he need to trust you if the relationship is going to last. Otherwise, he seems to have some trust issues.

I would hate that. I would probably take a long break from any site he had contacted me in.
