[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How close were you to home during the 20-30 minute conversation. That is a pretty long conversation with a stranger - you would build a fair amount of rapport. If your apartment building was really close, I can see someone then debating in their head about whether or not to ask you for your number and then talking themselves into it and out of it and then thinking it is now or never and approaching you again as you enter your apartment building nearby.

If they followed you for 10 minutes...that is creepy.[/quote]

+1. Normally I'd say someone following you home is super creepy, but I'm thrown by the long conversation you had first. I have been followed by men before, but they were not men I knew or who I had interacted with for more than a few moments. They also didn't ultimately stop me for my number -- they were clearly just following me to watch me or maybe find out where I lived or worked.

Also kind of relevant what you talked about and how the conversation felt. If a guy was super creepy, I feel like that would emerge in a 30 minute conversation with him, and if he then followed me home, there would probably be things about the conversation that didn't feel right in the moment and look downright concerning later. But if the conversation was really normal and comfortable (and especially if it was flirtatious and there seemed to be mutual interest), I think the PP is right that they might have just second guessed asking for your number and then finally screwed up the courage right before you went into your building.

Unless your building was a 10 or 20 minute walk away, in which case EVEN if they were just screwing up the courage to talk to you, it crosses a line IMO.[/quote]
