Is he a stalker

Is he a stalker
Yes. Run away! Remember – trust your instincts. My lovely and talented friend is doing internet dating. I think internet dating is a great idea as long as you are very careful. It takes the “I don’t know you factor up about 100 points.” But more on this later! Back on the topic of said lovely and talented friend.
She is awesome so the boys are just generally all over her kool-aid. Unfortunately, that attention is not always good. Fortunately, she is very smart and cautious. She doesn’t give out her last name, email or phone number right away. They meet places instead of riding together and they go to public places. Until he has proved himself unscary of course.
My friend has already met at least one stalker from her on-line dating pool. Since she followed safe practices she is no danger. At least of anything except annoyance. He does have her phone number, which is really unavoidable once you meet, sadly. But a little annoyance is ok, as long as you are not in danger. He doesn’t know where she lives, or how to find her so she is safe.
If he is being weird and possessive or angry and scary too soon run away. If he is controlling run away. If he is rude to servers or cashiers or anyone in the service industry, run away. If he is mean to animals or children or people in general run away. If he tries to make you feel guilty for not giving personal information, run away. Do not let someone pressure you into abandoning safe practices. Trust your instincts! Do not be afraid to let someone walk away. You do not want that one anyway.
