Being stalked, kinda.

    I don't want to be overly descriptive here, as he might be reading... I was sitting in a waiting room last week, things were moving slowly - so I was chatting to some random guy while I waited to be called. He seemed friendly enough - Said he was new in town and didn't really know anyone yet. So being the friendly dlofnep that I am, I invited him along for a few pints with some of my friends.

    That's when everything started to get weird. He started randomly putting his head in his hands, ripping at his hair for no apparent reason. He kept getting paranoid about everything. I just figured it was a bad day. I wish I could go in into detail to the weird stuff he was saying, but I'm genuinely weary incase he reads this thread. Let's just say, he's as crazy as codshít.

    He asked me to text him the next time we were heading out for pints. I was a bit hesitant - and didn't have my phone with me, so I said to text his number onto me and I'd save it. Terrible move!!!!

    Ever since then, he has been ringing me and texting me everyday. I haven't answered the phone. It's getting to the point where he's having conversations with himself through text messages.

    For example, he will text me asking how I am - I don't respond, but he sends me another text saying "I'm doing great, thanks!" - as if I had actually responded to his text. It's getting really freaky. He rang me at 4am the other night, texting me straight afterwards saying that some girl is annoying him with random texts, and that it's getting on his nerves. Why would I care - I barely knew the guy from 20 minutes! Why text send me annoying texts, about someone sending you annoying texts?

    I dunno what to do with this guy. I'm genuinely a friendly person, probably too friendly. I hate being an arsehole to people - but I need to seriously cut ties with this guy. He knows where my local pub is, and will definately pop in. I can see this all going downhill from here..

    Say you'll meet him. Wear tight pants and put a sock down them. If that dont scare him off your f*cked!


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 34,567 ✭✭✭✭Biggins


    Time to change number. For the sake of a tenner for a new number, it is the qickest route to finding peace of mind.

    Tell him you have tickets to the next Jedward/ Crystal Swing concert ( I use the word concert in the loosest way possible)

    If that doesn't shake him off your back then it's time for the men in the white coats.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,423 ✭✭✭tinkerbell


    If he's constantly ringing you the whole time, just text him and say "please stop calling me". He sounds like a right freak tbh. Otherwise just ignore the calls and hope he just gives up ringing you!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 852 ✭✭✭CrackisWhack


    WHT WON'T YOU ANSWER MY TEXTS!!!!!!:mad::mad::mad:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,072 ✭✭✭PeterIanStaker


    Change your number - get them to copy the SIM so you dont have to go around like an eejit getting all your friends numbers. Seriously. Then if you see him just ignore or avoid. Hopefully he'll latch onto someone else.

    That's the problem with meeting people at the STD clinic.

    Invite him again for drinks with your friends, and introduce 1 of your male friend to him as your Boy friend.
    That should stop him harassing you, if not change the number.


  • Posts: 3,518 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Change number, get local scummers to threaten him in the pub, sorted. He'll fear looking for you and he can have his little self-text conversations without annoying you.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20,759 ✭✭✭✭dlofnep


    I've had the same number for 11 years. My f*ck am I changing it now. As for kicking him, he looks like the kind of guy that would burn your house down in revenge. need alternative strategies!

    Gardi? Report as nuisance calls?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,811 ✭✭✭xoxyx


    Have you said it to him yet that he's being a bit full on and it's weirding you out a bit? I'd say that's the first step to take. Don't be too mean, but make sure he gets the point that you find his behaviour odd.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,454 ✭✭✭mink_man


    tell him you're riddled with aids!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,842 ✭✭✭Micilin Muc


    Respond in another language and pretend you don't have English. He'll be very confused and won't want to have anything to do with you.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,097 ✭✭✭✭zuroph


    I'm doing great thanks! So we still on for beers sunday?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,172 ✭✭✭Flojo

    Ouch.. I was only pulling the piss really! Would be funny to have someone to text random ****e back to like. Any funny stories you'd like to share?

    You could be stalked by someone from the midlands.

    Good point.. :eek:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,750 ✭✭✭liah


    Ask him out. Or ask him if he'd like to go with you to a gangbang.

    Then again, that could turn pretty awkward if he agrees..

    That wouldn't be too bad. You could danger **** behind the curtains while you're perving over the teenage girls outside their house.

    Trust you to think of that.

    I don't know that he does - I just know if he does, he'll go into weirdo mode and start calling and texting me. Let's just say, the conversation that he came out with was very unique, so if I repeated it - he would know immediately that it was him being discussed here. Trust me, he freaks me out this much - I don't want to risk it! :eek:

    OP,

    Lesson learned. Don't give your number out to strange men!

    What to do in this situation is ignore, ignore, ignore! If you see him out, ignore!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 55 ✭✭wetling


    Change your number - get them to copy the SIM so you dont have to go around like an eejit getting all your friends numbers. Seriously. Then if you see him just ignore or avoid. Hopefully he'll latch onto someone else.

    tell him you're going away to visit family in america so you won't be in contact for a week or two, then just don't go to your local for two weeks, go somewhere else, then when you "get back" just don't get in contact with him, he might get the message


    hopefully one day i'll be stalk-worthy

    actually no it sounds quite creepy

    Well we can start now but I'm a bit lazy so you will have to help me out a bit. It would be nice if you could just give me a heads up of what your plans for the day is and then we can work around each others schedules.

    I think this could work out great and I look forward to stalking you in the near future.:D

    Hmm being the nice considerate person that I am.. I'll give you a heads up! Stalking in the midlands is bound to be a bore.. so Galway city after Tuesday and its a date (one sided obviously) Nicer scenary and all that jazz!

    I shall look forward to never seeing you and all the phonecalls with just heavy breathing... :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,242 ✭✭✭mariaf24


    You shouldnt have to change your number...

    I would text him saying Hi (his name), This is (your name)'s boyfriend. Please stop texting and calling **** as it is a bit inappropriate. I'm sure you're a lovely guy but you have upset her with all the phone calls.
    Hope this won't be a problem, (enter a tough hard ass name here) LOL.

    Text that from your phone.
    I'd say he'll leave well alone then.
