Why don't some guys get a clue? Story of a near stalker

[pizzanova]

A month ago, I blocked this guy I'd been talking to (strictly online; never met him) on AIM. We'd been talking for a month before that, nothing serious (I'd only seen one faraway pic of him). I gave him my # early on (I have no idea what I was thinking) but after he started bugging me, told him not to call it. He bugged me CONSTANTLY about meeting, to the point where he wouldnt talk about anything else. I told him to chill out.

 

 

Anyways, it's been a month. He still text messages me, and up to the other day, called a couple times. Today, I kept getting prank calls on my phone, over and over. The second to last time, he obviously forgot to block his caller ID because it came up as his cell #, with the same recording as when the number had shown up as private (someone pretending to be a police officer). I told him to get lost the last time he called.

 

 

I honestly feel like internet hookups are a bad idea. I've had the weirdest experiences.

To put it bluntly some guys are sick! Just like some women.

 

It's the male ego that causes the problems with guys.

 

They get it in their heads that if you could only know how much they feel for you, it'll make you feel more for them. When in fact it's the other way 'round.

 

It's creepy yes, and it can get dangerous.

 

What he's doing is clearly harassment and you should call the police.

 

 

BTW,

 

 

wanna chat?

 

 

like never before,

Should I call the police now? Today I kept getting calls over and over from a private number, and when I answered, there was no answer.

many times they are PIZZANOVA. you know why? cause most "normal" people can meet others the regular way, i.e. in person or face to face. you get a higher percentage of wierdos and nutcases on the internet cause they generally have a harder time meeting people in more traditional ways. this of course is not to say that there are not some regular and normal folks on the internet.

Yes, Call them now.

 

There are also federal laws written into the patriot act, and the Telecom act of 2000. Stiff punishments for that crap.

 

I had a stalker a few years ago, she actually finally vandalized my car and the building I lived in. It starts with the phone but then can get loopy.

 

I know changing your number is a pain, but it might be necessary.

 

They have a service out here called privacy manager. It'll block Private Numbers before they even ring.

 

Protect yourself. and definately DO call the police and be sure to keep your CID info.

Well, alpha I don't know bud.

 

I'm not "normal" nor regular.

 

Maybe some metamucil will help the latter!

Amen! Could someone please explain this to my sister? She has met three guys in RL from online chats, and they were all weirdos. She, of course, claimed that she is a good judge of character each time (she was net 'friends' with two of them for YEARS!) and that THIS guy was ok.

 

She would meet them and they were either sex pervs or mamma's boys or socially inept beyond words. Creepy stuff.

 

And she spends her days cooped up in her home, wishing for a happy life with a SO and whittling it away chatting with fake bf's. If she would actually go out of doors, she might actually meet a decent person. NOT to say, like you have, that there aren't any normal people out there.....but I for one cannot understand why anyone would purposely look for a date online. Too risky.

 

There is way too much you are missing out on, not being able to get a feel for what a person is really like. And then when you finally do, your intuition is saying, "uh oh!"

 

***rant over***

 

My opinion only, some will disagree I'm sure. But after seeing what winners my sis has dregged up, forget it!

yes GOODNBAD, most of the "normal" people I personally know are out meeting people in bars, parties, thru friends, at work (not recommended), etc....

 

the online thing is OK as a secondary way of meeting people and even then u must be wary. Online should never be a primary way but for many people who are socially inept or just plain wierd it is their primary way of meeting potential dates.
