What can I do about being stalked but it’s not bad enough to report to the police?

[Anonymous]

There’s a guy I have seen around my city multiple times by now, and I live in a huge city. The first encounter he saw me walking the opposite direction and followed me, came up to me and introduced himself and was persistent about getting my number. But I declined politely. Saw him again walking opposite directions few weeks later, he turned around and followed me a few blocks pretending to be on his phone. Another time he saw me and turned around but didn’t follow me. THEN, months later I’m in a department store and he walks in and starts chatting with my sales associate and knows her! And I was visibly uncomfortable and didn’t really participate in any conversation. I told her about it, she says he’s harmless but idk…then I saw him again last night in Walgreens and I was walking down an aisle, he saw me and then followed me straight out of the store and came up to me saying “excuse me!” And I just said I’m busy and can’t talk. I swear he had a freaking basket of items he didn’t even pay for when he walked out of the store. What is up with this guy? This behavior is really creepy. I’m clearly not engaging with him and I’m not sure if he’s really unable to read my cues.

Common Stalking:
—Unwanted and suggestive calls, posts, texts.
—Approaching or “showing up” in victim presence like work, home, or school.
—threatening written or verbal communication.
—Watching, tracking, and/or surveillance of victims movement in daily life.

Normally Victims tell Police or Someone who shares residence with you.
Block them.
Change Routine.
***If homeless it’s pretty much impossible to get anything done. Good luck.

This guy keeps trying to make conversation with me and I’ve shown each time he’s attempted to that I’m not into it.

Sometimes grey stoning can work. This guy is feeding off your reaction and likely fear. Negative or Positive reaction from you encourages him. He’s going to continue to Test you looking for a crack in your arm our. Blowing, negative body reaction, etc is WRONG. Dead face, dead energy, Grey Stone should eventually back him off. He gets nothing out of it. If he can smell or feel emotion emanating from you THEN he never goes away. Search grey stoning and let a professional walk you through it.
Hope this is helpful in someway. 🙂

Get a gun, learn to use it, be very willing to use it

you are indeed in a pickle, is it possible to not go out alone?

also you might need to confront him and ask him directly to stop but I don't know how safe that is…

I wish you good luck😭

Just report it, even if the police do nothing please report it

[Asker]

I don't know how to spell his name or what his last name is.

I can probably get it from my friend since he apparently texts her a lot. The one form the store.
