Stalkers are not funny business. I know this. You can say ignore them and such... but that is not the case.
After getting rid of my ex, he was such a bother and pest that I actually had to move from Atlanta to get rid of him. He would show up at the gym parking lot (he didn't even work out), cruise Ansley mall looking for my car and check out Blockbuster or Publix to try to find me, drive by my condo 4-5 times per day, he had even stolen my email password when he was living with me, and therefore knew everything I did and everywhere I went/was going If I told someone via email, for about a year before I figured out what was going on. I would go to NYC, guess who would be in the museum at the EXACT time I went? I went to London, guess who was on the EXACT flight I was? I would go to movies with friends and guess who would show up with his trick of the hour trying to make me jealous. I would go to theater, opera, the mountains, etc.... and he would always be there trying to make me jealous or hurt enough to take him back. He had two tactics. The first one was to have a date and try to make me jealous. Actually, I would just laugh after seeing what his date was like. His next tactic was to follow me around staring at me with puppy dog eyes. So to get rid of him, I moved to Ft Lauderdale.
Guess what? He now comes down here for 4-5 weeks at a time. Still follows me around, still goes out to bars, resturants, the beach and tries to find me. I wish there was something I could do, but everyone says "oh he is harmless... he is still in love with you...(he tells everyone this).... he just misses you (he says this to everyone too)....etc....etc...." But the point is... I don't CARE what he is... I would not care if he were dead - as long as I had an alibi for that night. I just want to be left alone and not have my eyes violated by the sight of his face anymore.
Until you have been stalked, you can't just sit there and dismiss it.
