Re: Dealing with an overly friendly man

I believe this guy may be living a whole fantasy with you in his head. Sadly, even small towns have their share of predators. Maybe he's harmless. Maybe he's not. Everyone's advice to you is valuable and right. I would only add one observation; Your posts seem to revolve around watching out for him around town. But I want you to watch out for him at your house. In your back yard. Looking in your windows at night and driving past your home. A family member of a friend recently had the frightening experience of seeing a man's hand wipe the condensation off her bathroom window so he could get a better look at her as she dressed. Her scream scared him away but she has no idea if he will be back or how many times he had been at that window. He was inside her locked privacy fenced back yard. If this guy has spent all this time arranging to see and follow you around town you can bet he has also been interested in where you live, and possibly even what you and your family members drive, and your typical patterns of behavior. With the cameras and technology available today, it's not hard at all to keep an eye on someone. Now that you have telegraphed to him a discomfort with seeing him, he may be a lot more careful to conceal his interest and his presence. He may go away or he may not. Please keep your guard up. If you are home alone, be aware he may know that. Keep your doors locked and keep your firearm and phone on you or literally in reach. Do not go outside at any time without your firearm and your very good situational awareness. Put a lock or door brace on your bedroom door so if he gains entry quietly into your home, he would still need to make noise to enter your bedroom at night while you are sleeping. This is not being paranoid. It's being smart. He has shown you enough creepy behavior to warrant your caution. If he is not really a threat, you have just learned some good habits that will serve you well. If he is a threat, you need to give yourself every possible chance to prevail. This isn't living in fear. This is facing it head on. :thumbs2:
