I have a stalker. He said he’s a narcissist and does it for fun. It’s been going on for over a year. He makes fake social media profiles to spy on me and he does drive bys and sometimes parks outside or across the road from my home. He has impersonated other men by the same first name, a popular name, on multiple dating sites. Now I’m all set to go on a date, with a guy by the same first name, who looks similar. I don’t want to be overly paranoid, but each time I wasn’t, previously, it turned out to be him, catfishing me. If a stalker will catfish me with other fake accounts, even going so far as to agree to a date or get me talking on the phone to an alias that he’s made up a complete family history about, is he likely to fake being a potential partner, too? I’ve never known anyone so unstable before and I don’t understand anything much about stalkers, except that they seem not to give up easily.
Would he go as far as catfishing as a date?

Why haven’t you contacted the police about this yet?
I have. There’s not enough evidence to get a restraining order out. But there’s enough that everyone believes me. The police and the lawyers said the same thing. He hasn’t been inside my house and there’s nothing to tie him to the fake aliases, social media messages, or prove he’s been using my phone surveillance to follow me around.
@asker the police are lying then. What he has done is enough for a restraining order. Harassment online in itself is enough. It shouldn’t take him breaking into your house and possibly harming you for them to consider.
No one will help me. There’s nothing I can do. I tried. So I’ve just accepted that I can’t get rid of him. Would he go as far as pretending to be a guy I’m seeing? Are stalkers that crazy?
I guess I’m asking; ‘How careful do I have to be?’
Why aren't you just blocking him?
He just makes more fake profiles
Then keep blocking him.
It’ll only encourage him. I did all that last year.
