    Default Stalker? What should I do?

    About a month ago I was at the library and an older (50ish) guy approached me. He asked if I worked for_____ agency and said he though that we had met at a Christmas party a few years back. I do work for the agency in question (so does 2/3s of the city), so I was polite. He asked my name, which was creepy, but not too bad. I walked away and thought nothing of it. Today he somehow got my direct number at work and asked me out. He then asked some personal questions about my boyfriend when I said that I had one, and I was stupid enough to say that we don't live together. Now I'm scared, but realize that calling the cops would do nothing. *69 is blocked at work, so I can't get his nubmer, I don't know his name and I barely remember what he looked like. He on the other hand knows my name and where I work, so he could easily follow me home, if he hasn't already. Plus I'm afraid to go back to the library. In the future I will know not to give out my name and work, but what do I do now?

    First off, if he asks you again tell him you are only interested in your boyfriend. I would also tell the library what happened as well because it's possible he's done it before. If you reject him he may back off, but if he doesn't leave work with other people. I would also ask your local cops (if you know them) to kind of watch out for your residence in the event he does stalk you.

    I've had this happen a few times and it's scary.

    I don't think he's done that much to identify him as a stalker.. yet, you need to stop all contact with this person and let him know he is making you feel uncomfortable, if he's not some loon he will most likely back off.. you can make sure you aren't being followed and if you don't feel safe then i would suggest try to not walk home alone or you could always buy yourself a stun gun or some pepper spray to make you feel more comfortable when being alone

    In the future.. it's not a good idea to tell people information when clearly you do not wan't to, i would never suggest telling people you live alone and why even give someone you do not know information about you? Mark this down as a learning experience

    also heres an online link on how to handle a stalker if he indeed turns out to be one, could possibly be of use

    If you feel unsafe going home from work, maybe you can buy mace or something else for protection, and carry it with you.
