Did you see him? Did you think he was good looking? Would you date him? Maybe the next time he comes in, walk up to him and say something. I think you are witty and you could come up with something good.
Let us know what happens!!! Good Luck..this could be the start of a great romance!! :heart:


I did see him and he's not a bad looking fella but I don't know how I'm expected to know from a 30 second conversation if I want to date him or even give him access to my phone number.

It felt like, if I messaged him, I was agreeing to something I wasn't even sure I wanted.

I think I was also turned off by his need to sit where he could watch the football. I hate football.

UPDATE:

On my way off shift today, 'the guy' was there! *shocked face* I said "hello", since I've very civilised, then went to grab my things. When I went outside, I found him loitering around in the dark carpark, which unsettled me a little. Fortunately a colleague was with me.

That is pretty creepy and bit stalkerish by the sounds of it. Just please be careful. frown

Thanks, Chris.

I'm trying to convince myself that it was just a coincidence he left at the same time, but I'll certainly be on my guard however harmless he may seem.

Damn, didn't take too long to throw him against the wall and flash a spotlight on him, eh?

He left his number, showed up again to display interest...And you grab a can of f*ing mace, figuratively speaking of course. This is why I quit bothering with women entirely, s*, even at the beginning you're being scrutinized and I haven't even gotten into my legal history yet.

F* that s*.

I can't help being jumpy. Not used to strangers showing interest unless they're drunk or really old.

@paintecards: go on, what was you going to say?

You would think someone sober and of appropriate age would be welcomed then...Unless of course you are interested in the drunk and really old type.

I would still file a report with your local police department. At least then you have the early documentation if he ramps up the behavior. Give them the phone number. If you are lucky he has outstanding warrants or he is violating a probation or parole. I would take it serious enough to do a little more than avoid him. Because he has already tested you to see if you would check him on line for a record and you didn't so he thinks you won't go tot he cops which you should.

I can't even remember what triggered it when I first started reading this thread. But I couldn't help but to think of how it seemed like a stalker move. The whole thing of him being outside in the parking lot is certainly creepier.

I'm a very security oriented person or as some people might call paranoid. Which is why I rarely to never even put my full real name on the internet. I do not give my address to people on the internet and I wouldn't give my number either. Granted your experience was in person. But I don't blame you for feeling the way you do or did. That is probably your instinct telling you something isn't right. It's part of your need to survive. Listen to that little voice in your head and it will usually tell you what you need to do.



I recently had a person on here who through the email system asked me to talk to her on facebook. I asked why and she said because she was new here and felt more comfortable on facebook. I still think that is BS. But I eventually sent her a msg from a secondary facebook page that I have no pictures of myself on nor any connection to any of my family. She said she didn't get it. So I sent her a friend request and waited for about a day since that was about how long it took for her to reply to an email. When this person didn't accept or reject the request I deleted it. Eventually I got an email from her on here asking if this was a scam. I said no and explained I am a very security oriented person and that I didn't know them and I wasn't going to give anything that could put me or anyone I know in real life trouble. They insisted that I must be a scammer and I told them I felt no need to care what they thought as I was pretty sure we would never meet in real life.

I haven't heard from that person since and thinking about it now they may have been phishing for info they could use to basically steal my identity. Use my pictures or what ones I have actually posted online and try to rip off other people or what ever. What ever the problem they weren't happy when they didn't get to see or get more info on me. Just an example of how being cautious isn't always a bad thing and to encourage you to listen to that voice in your head. hahaha

Well I try to be as creepy as possible. Oh wait. You meant the other person. lol

I didn't think of that as being crazy. But it is funny that the person accusing me of being a scammer comes from the place where most of the scammers come from. lol

Even looking back on it I don't really care. I know I didn't give anything that is going to have an adverse affect on me or anyone close to me. So I'm happy with that.

Well, it's a bit crazy to join a dating site and then announce you don't feel comfortable there, it's like, why join if it freaks you out? I don't mind adding people to my FB, but if they make up a really stupid reason, such as they're not comfortable talking here, I see a red flag.....
