No, no you're right. It had to be said because I felt it would help her make the decision to do what's best for her in this instance.

I chose to be a little rough because I felt that would better motivate her. Give her two reasons to take steps to protect herself: For the sake of protecting herself, and to spite me.

Just because something would upset someone doesn't mean it shouldn't be said. The world would probably be a lot worse off if nonone said anything that might offend someone else. And I agree with Maradon. He may have been able to phrase it more tactfully but his point remains. If you are going to ask for advice you need to take the advise people give you.

Get the restraining order.

Or do something so that people - besides us - know whats going on. Make people know who can do something about it.

CALL THE COPS.

No discussion, do it and do it now. Then call a lawyer if you know one and tell them what's up. Print and save each and every e-mail and get some protection.

It's OK (amd sensible) to be scared, but you need to do something and do it immediately. I don't see any alternative other than police involvement.


Read that again, and do it.

Really, do it. Now, don't think about what could happen if you protect yourself, just do what you have to do to keep yourself safe.

I dealt with a stalker during the days I played UO. Origin did nothing. I had very little to go on "legal wise" because he did most of his interacting with me through the game and on the phone, none of which is traceable like what you have in e-mail.

You need to do something about this. Fortunately, he is stupid enough to send you e-mail. That has his IP, and all sorts of personal TRACKABLE information about him.

It's very real. Very scary and very DANGEROUS, no matter what you "think" a person is capable of doing, assume the worst. The law is there to protect you.

Use it.

GKT, I know it may sound harsh, but they're right... I wish I could find a better way of saying it, but there's very little I can say diplomatically about this.

I apologise, and I freely wear the badge of bastard while I say this, but you can't just sit around. I promise you that if he is intent on stalking you or otherwise causing this sort of distress, your feelings on the matter don't mean dick to him.

Rubs GKT's shoulders

I'm sorry you're going through this, really... But the best thing, hell, the only even remotely safe way to deal with this is to get the police involved.

You've got evidence, please, use it. His emotions aren't important here. It might hurt him to get this, but it's far better to hurt him than to not do anything and get hurt yourself.

... And that last sentence looks really bad, and I can't think of a better way to say it...

I hope you get through this, GKT.

Follow the advice of everyone here and pull out a restraining order.
Any 16 year old kid who refuses sex because of one person (No matter how moral, ya gotta break down and get horizontal at some point) is mentally unstable, and thus unpredictable.

There are some f00ked up people in the world, and we should give them the chlorine tablets.

Sorry - I had to jump on this one. Any 16 year old that refuses sex because of one person is unstable??? Maybe some; but not "any". I know I would refuse sex at this age - my morals, thanks.

But I do agree, this PARTICULAR guy does sound very, very suspicious and you should be worried. Just do what everyone else said - call the cops, let the guy know that you don't want to talk to him anymore in a mature way - and then stop talking to him....put him on ignore, etc. I really hope you get everything figured out.

I've talked to people who've done things like this before. I remember talking to a guy who claimed to be my age in a chatroom for about a month. That chatroom shut down, thus our connection was cut off. About a year or two later, I get a message on ICQ saying it was him, and that he remembered that I mentioned the state where I lived, and therefore tracked me down on ICQ for an active account. I have NO idea how long that must have taken him, but it was VERY scary, but once I ignored him, changed my e-mail, got rid of ICQ, etc....Everything's been okay, and I haven't spoken to him in over three years.

Delphi probably should have said "no 16 year old GUY". No guy at that age who's been offered sex would refuse it, I'm pretty sure.

You'll notice it is only MEN who worry about getting laid.

Example One: Man Desires Sex

Man: Pardon me, madame, but I was wondering if you would do me the honor of allowing me to romp through your grassy fields.

Woman: AAAAUGH!

Example Two: Woman Desires Sex

Woman: Excuse m-

Man: Yes.

Woman: But I didn't-

Man: Sex, right?

Woman: Y-

Man: Yes.

I don't mean to sound harsh, but this is probably going to come off as such.

Bite the fucking bullet and get the restraining order. You can worry all you want, but if he's capable of violence (and I think you should assume the worst here, like Peach said), it may be too late by the time you realize what you should have done, and you may very well end up in a ditch somewhere.
