How do you get a guy to leave you alone?

Ticker,
Pursue a restraining order?

Move?

Stop attending that church?

It's really a tough call since he won't stop and other people won't help (or expect you to do what they would do whatever (the F**) that is...)

Is he still bothering you, Ticker? He reminds me of the veterinarian I used to have for my pets. Spent the whole time he was putting my cat down staring at my chest. Dh didn't punch him out because I was too upset to notice and he didn't want to call my attention to it because I would have been more upset. Things went from bad to worse. If I tried to make appts with the other vet for my pets, this jerk would pull the file and insist on seeing them so he could see me. If by some miracle I avoided that and got in with the other vet, he'd actually open the door to the exam room and stand in there the whole time - all the while ignoring his other patients. He even started calling my house and my work! Dh had words with him and even my old vet from another city who was furious about the way he acted (they actually knew each other). The last straw for me was when stalker vet fired the other vet (an accupuncture vet) because I preferred him. When the other vet left, I left. I had to drive my pets almost an hour to a different vet. The moron continued to call and send me letters for over a year.

Some men don't get it no matter what you say or do. I attract them as well so I feel for you. For me I think I don't read the nonverbal for so long they get this idea I'm receptive or they are just predators and see me as prey because I don't read them. Either way, for me someone else always has to step in. Most of the time one run in with dh sends them off. I had a boss who could also send them on their way quickly. You might need to hire a truck full of rednecks for a case of beer. They'll know how to get the message across so he understands it. Either that or he'll be too afraid to come back.

The bad thing about restraining orders is that most predatory people know they are useless and some people see any attention, even negative attention as you being focused on them. On the other hand, the rednecks can get YOU put in jail.

I wish I could be more help.

Act like you are literally insane...that will most likely just scare him away.

In all seriousness, though...you should approach him and say to him..."Leave me alone". If that doesn't work, then it means he does have a clue that you don't want him near you...but he is just being persistant and stalker-like.

Call him every 5 minutes for 3 days straight...He'll leave you alone.

Couldn't agree more.

I just finished reading your posts her.

He sounds like a total stalker, all I can think of is restraining order.

I few weeks ago we started talking about him at work among several women. One 19 yr old who feels sorry for every bonehead that speaks to her was actually talking to him nightly because she gave him her cell# because he seemed so sad and lonely. So he calls her nightly. She disagreed with me that he was creepy, but then again I see 3 guys fighting over her daily at work and she is clueless of it. However some of the women in the group agreed with me that his behavior was weird so she apparently carried that message to him because after that night he never speaks to me at work and has quit going to the church since I stopped going. So I may attempt to go back to the church in the future.

The guy now follows around other women like a puppy trying to please. I had a 2nd dork at work started harassing me plus several other women because he wanted a date to take to his parents house and to celebrate the holidays with him. I had a talk with his one and only friend who is one of my friends and he got the guy straightened out to where he doesn't bother me either.

About restraining orders: I recommend reading a book called The Gift of Fear. It is written by a guy who runs a firm that advises celebrities, government officials, etc on how to deal with unwanted attention. (Turns out that celebrities have all sorts of wackos stalking them all the time.) This book is mainly about predicting and avoiding violence and domestic abuse - but one interesting thing the author points out that getting a restraining order does not often have the intended effect. Sometimes, it turns the person into a vengeful stalker. Instead of using the restraining order as a clear signal that she does not want him in her life, sometimes the guy will now feel "wronged" by the girl and will feel even more "justified" in perusing her. And the piece of paper will not protect you. I recommend reading this book.

(Disclaimer: I'm a dude.)

The only things I've noticed guys don't like is when you refer to removing their balls or poop (especially your own)... I can't find a mature response, just awkward ones that makes public scenes . Also, threatening to call the cops or having (a) guy friend(s) threaten to beat them up usually works (if they are around).

How to get guys to leave you alone? Peko pretty much has it covered. You could also just permeate an aura of "GET THE f**k AWAY FROM ME" which seems to work. It did for me in high school anyway.

Simplest methods summed up:

1. screaming
2. crying
3. hitting
4. threatening to report them
5. having someone beat them
6. talking about castration
7. talking about (your/others) poop

Whatever you do, don't be reasonable.

That comes across as very thinly-veiled misandry.

I've tried being resonable, but so far it only works with friends .

I barely have an interest in girls, at most I can be interested in one girl at a time ( i can literally name every girl I've ever liked from age 11 onwards). I do try to make friends occasionally but most girls think too much of themselves and make assumptions about my intentions and tbh I can't be arsed with that. I've got one close female friend on the internet and that's through playing wow ( and she happens to be very attractive physically but just doesn't do it for me, she's a friend), otherwise every girl I've ever tried to make friends with ( and genuinely just trying to make friends with nothing more intended), they've made assumptions and my attempt has ended in failure. I really wish people weren't so sex obsessed, it makes it very difficult for the very few that aren't to get along in the world.


Most of my best female friends have been lesbians tbh, once they realise that I'm not interested everything is fine. Personally I find gay women to be a nice mix of male and female personality traits and that's really cool, you get the female point of view but in a male like coating and zero sexual tension and that's great for me. Never had any gay male friends though, most are just too girly for me.

Old thread is old.
