Have you ever stalked anyone?

retro:electro

I may have engaged in stalkey activities in the past. I was around 19, living in a house share with a few girls. We had a hot guy who lived down the road and he used to walk past our house every morning. We nicknamed him Jeremy, because he'd walk by the house just as Jeremy Kyle was due on. We were v sophisticated.

Anyway, I knew everything about him. His real name. Where he worked. Who his friends were. What his interests were. I knew where his mother worked and I used to frequent the shop she worked in. I'd be a pretty approachable person, but Jeremy always remained one of those people you just see in the distance and admire, and never really engage with. I'd leave the house after he passed our gate in the mornings, and follow him all the way to college- admiring his nice arse and imagining what our kids would look like.

Anyway, que to one of the final nights of college. I'm in the nightclub with the girls. We're dancing, and out of the side of my eye, I see Jeremy sitting on a couch looking out in to the dance floor. I decide this this is my time. And in my drunken state, I start trying to seduce him with my non existent sexy dance moves. I was giving it large, and being in my mind a hottie and very subtle, but in reality I was probably as subtle as a wet fart in white trousers.

Well! It must have worked. Because Jeremey approached me. He called me by my name, told me he'd seen me around and saw me on our walk every morning. For some reason I freaked. I did not like this at all. Hot mystery man just lost his mystery. And even though he'd just revealed himself to be not even one third of the stalker freak I was, I was not into it and was out of there quicker than OJ in his Bronco.

Have any of you guys been stalkers before? Or am I the only stalker in the village? If I am I am cool with that.

They're all unmarked but a trained eye would pick them out from knowing most of the drivers there.

No I've never stalked anyone but when I was a teenager my friend and I had crushes on these Spanish students and we just happened to walk by the house they stayed at a few times.

I was only listening to Blondie the other week and the lyrics in her song One Way or Another are really stalkerish and also Hanging on the Telephone and Call Me :pac:

One year when I was in college I joined in a game called Assassin. You were given the name and picture of someone else who had signed up and you had to try to 'kill' them by putting a sticker on them; they'd then be eliminated from the game so you'd get their target as your next target, and whoever got the most 'kills' won the game. I think it went on for a week.

I managed to take two people out by looking them up on social media, finding their course timetables etc and hanging around where I knew they were likely to be. It's amazing what you can find out about people online (The third person was much more elusive though).

I'm one of those people who has long term unrequited crushes until I meet a real, live guy, with whom I normally stay for a short while because real people have feet of clay, before moving on to my next perfect, unrequited love. So yes, I've stalked a couple of people in my time.

The first was very first crush. I was 11. He was my mom's best friend's son. I don't remember how but I managed to get invited to his house every Sunday for lunch. He finally kissed me when I was 17. My very first kiss. It was disgusting.

All of this seems like effort

However ive a clatter of sisters who are very adapt at it....to the extent i do be wary adding anyone on facebook-for their privacy sakes

Not since I was in school but did the whole look up their home address in the phone book and 'just happen' to be walking down her street about twice a day (the Smiths in the Walkman was optional).

I was crazy about a guy in university. He was beyond cool - so i did "active research" into who his friends were, where he drank, where he lived etc. Found out what course he was on and might have got a copy of his timetable from a mutual friend who was on the course. I was trying to engineer a meeting.

I managed to "bump into" him a few times but always bottled it and never got the courage to speak to him.

Never. I'd be mortified to even like someone who had no interest in me, let alone turn up outside their house or workplace. I would die of shame. I usually won't even admit to myself that I like someone until they've confirmed that they like me! nothing more embarassing than feeling like I've overstepped the mark, in any situation. Luckily I have one of those faces that looks like I don't give a flying *****

The modern classic for Stalking is by a group called 'Your Favorite Martian' and the song is called 'Text me Back'.

Really encapsulates what modern stalking is.

Yeah. Met one girl at our school breakup. Pal of mine brought her along.

Never met her before, but felt an instant connection.

In the time that followed I thought about her all the time & longed for the time that we would meet again.

I found out her address & used to cycle by her house regularly just to see if she was around. This went on for about 6 months.

Years later I found out that I'd been cycling past the wrong house. She lived in another area altogether!

Gave up on stalking after that. I was crap at it really.

In real life...no. I'm much too neurotic and self-aware to be able to get away with it.

On social media...lil bit...

Okay a lot.

This made me laugh. At least it made you fitter though.

Ah, I was only 17 at the time.

Still, looking back I made 'The Inbetweeners' seem the epitome of cool.

I had a serious crush on a girl I used to work with.

I never did anything stalkerish but I did chase her relentlessly for months.

Not really stalking but I saw someone I knew a few weeks ago through a couple of trees. I didn't say heels to the person because I thought I might come across as a stalker as I couldn't have clearly seen the person through the trees.

There was a poster on here who was banned last year.
She used to put her pictures up on various threads. Got the shock of my life one day when I saw her picture in my facebook suggested friends list - despite us having no friends in common.
I guess she went to a lot of trouble to find out my real identity but not enough to cover her tracks.
It's very creepy though. And sad.

How does this work? Did she openly request to be your friend?

No. When on facebook on the pc she popped up in my suggested friends list. I believe that anyone who pops up there who has no friends in common with you has been viewing your profile.
Stalking!

This must rank as one of the creepiest stalkiest songs out there.
