Do you consider this stalking?

Socially awkward. Stalking is when you've had it and you are ready to pay an attorney to make it stop.

No that is just a guy hitting on you aggressively, not stalking. If he returns to your place that’s stalking.

Not stalking but how far of a walk was it to your building?

+1 Really disturbing (guys don’t do this!) but not stalking if just one incident.

Why is it scary?

I would have called someone while walking. You have no responsibility to be polite to anyone. You don’t have to have a conversation with them and you certainly don’t need to give them your number. It’s ok to be assertive. Yes as women we need to be careful with men, we can also broadcast back off.

I’m really sorry this happened to you. I’d mention it to my neighbors and give them a description of the dude just in case.

It sounds creepy, and go with your gut, but isn't it normal to call you right away so you have his number?

I wouldn't consider this stalking. back before OLD, this was how you met people.

Met, yes. Follow home, no. Unless you’re in a movie. Otherwise it’s creepy. Ask during the conversation or accept you messed up.

That's disturbing, OP. I would not feel comfortable with this person at all. However I don't think this meets the definition of stalking.

Does the fake number trick have any value in the era of cell phones?

You need burner numbers so you can "verify" that it works and then ghost.

Men can get extremely nasty if you refuse to give them your number.

Also I always met people at social events and at places like the library. I was never *followed home*. That's insane.

All men get extremely nasty if you refuse to give them your number?

You start walking home and as you enter your apartment building you see this stranger right behind you. You know the stranger does not live there. The stranger asks for your cell number, and when you give a fake number, they immediately call it.

Interesting how OP does not divulge the sex of either party.

OP: Some women are just crazy. Avoid her. Consider moving since she now knows where you live.

This is a BS thread based on the murder in Baltimore.

Not all, but unfortunately we don’t have a way to know which ones so we have to treat all with caution. DP.
