Too much interest

[herpymcderp]

Have you ever had a situation where someone was obsessed with you or just seemed far too interested too fast?

Tell us about it.

Re: Too much interest

[(Anonymous)]

I've had several experiences where guys at bars have been super obsessed with me just because I've been about 10+ years younger than most people there. Me being a nice, talkative, flirty drunk haven't helped with that, so I've had people ordering me a taxi more than once because they were afraid of someone stalking me home/assaulting me due to it. (I'm usually not worried myself though)

Luckily it has never been anything worse than that!

Re: Too much interest

[herpymcderp]

You have good friends, it sounds like. Keep yourself safe!

Re: Too much interest

[(Anonymous)]

I used to work at a small bookstore, and this man came in pretty often and just hung around and started at me but never bought anything. One time he told me that he had a 100-page diary about me. After that I insisted on having someone with me when he was in the store.

Re: Too much interest

Ugh, creepy.

Re: Too much interest

[dreemyweird]

WHAT
THE
FUCK

the sheer scale of what the fuck is mind-boggling

I am sorry, anon. I hope he went away eventually?

Re: Too much interest

[herpymcderp]

Whoooaa. That's fucked up.

Re: Too much interest

[(Anonymous)]

lol, course not

Re: Too much interest

[(Anonymous)]

My first bf started talking about proposing right after we did the do for the first time. That was the end of that.

Re: Too much interest

[(Anonymous)]

Yup, I actually had a boyfriend who assumed -- assumed! He didn't even ask -- that since we slept together I'd marry him.

Fuck no, I was 22.

Re: Too much interest

[herpymcderp]

lol I too have had this reaction from a guy I went on a date with a few times.

I was like, "Uh. That's really great but I don't know about marriage."

And then noped on out of there.

Re: Too much interest

[nanslice]

Hmm, this girl at school latched onto me pretty hardcore when she looked over my shoulder and saw Captain America fanart in my sketchbook. She started seeking me out between class, reading me her fanfiction (My Little Pony!), and being really unaware of personal space (no, do not put your head on my knee! Stop trying to give me hugs!). She's ultra-conservative and homophobic and I dampened her enthusiasm somewhat by telling her I ship Bucky/Steve pretty hardcore. I feel kind of bad for her since she's clearly been poorly socialized but man, I'm not her mom.

Re: Too much interest

[herpymcderp]

That's kind of pitiable really. Just sounds like she really wanted a friend and didn't know how to go about that.

The personal space thing would be a major no-no for me as well though, so I feel you there.

Re: Too much interest

[dreemyweird]

There was this one girl I met when I was in high school. We began our acquaintance by RPing, and then she moved to my city (for reasons that had nothing to do with me) and we met up IRL.

She then proceeded to write a 700-word essay on twitter where she described me - appearance, behaviour, and all - in artistic detail. It sounded like she thought I was a cross between Einstein and St Peter. I was more than a little freaked out.

Re: Too much interest

[(Anonymous)]

Knew a guy casually through an internet game, nothing too personal was shared but we happened to be from the same state, so he proposed I drive down to him so we could hook up one day. I declined. To his credit, he took the rejection well. But still, freak.

Re: Too much interest

[sarillia]

There was a girl in high school who did that with one of my best friends and then ended up latching on to me too because for a while she got the two of us confused a lot.

Re: Too much interest

[ketita]

A guy that I met here asked me out after we'd known each other for like... a month, and I spent most of that agonizing over school and only saw him on weekends. His confession of love included the word "marriage" and he told me that I would be a great mother and stuff like that.
And I was just like DUDE. This is SO not the time. Also that's way, way too fast. I don't want to hear the word 'marriage' when I'm being asked out.

And then I learned that he's like 14 years older than me. Nope.

Re: Too much interest

[(Anonymous)]

Mostly just guys at train stations who go from asking about the train to "I love you" in about 30 seconds. Ugh, gross. :X

Re: Too much interest

[(Anonymous)]

I had a guy twice my age at a bus stop go from asking me when the next bus arrived to trying to kiss me. He backed the fuck off when I pulled out my phone to call the cops.

Re: Too much interest

[loracarol]

There was someone I started talking to over FR over the summer, and she wanted my facebook right away so we could chat? which was like... No, but she didn't seem that bad, so I gave her my skype. (red flag number one, lol).

And then she got weird about skyping me, like, if I wasn't on all the time, or if I didn't reply right away to her, she'd get odd? Like, she'd send me a ton of messages like "hello...?" ignoring the fact that I actually do, in fact, have a life, and if I didn't respond right away, it was nothing personal.

If I ever left skype for anything, it was always "well when are you coming back" IDK, when I'm done with my chores?

Anyway, she told me that she was going to change flights, and then she did and didn't like it, so she decided she was going to multiaccount instead, claiming to be her sister.

Her "sister" took over the tarot card reading shop that she had originally started in a way that was really fucking obvious, and recently she was banned. She also deleted me from skype, as I can only assume she guessed I had told the admins, when the truth was... She was not a very clever multiaccounter. ("Oh yeah, I'm this person's sister, and I just so happen to like reading tarot cards too! And she said I could take over her shop! Honest!" bitch please).

Re: Too much interest

[(Anonymous)]

I probably shouldn't have been friendly with him. I was warned. I knew what a mistake I had made when I got my hair cut for summer and he got all upset about it: "I like MY WOMEN with long hair--the longer, the better!"

I felt like getting a buzzcut after that.

Re: Too much interest

[diet_poison]

Many such situations, but mostly minor ones, people who I never saw more than a couple times. Thankfully I've never been straight-up stalked.

I was reminded of a few reading these comments - guys who acted possessive around me or came on way too strong, and people (male and female) who latched onto me as a friend because I was nice to them and they were desperate. I think those are pretty universal experiences, especially that second one.

One in particular that I get every now and then is meeting a guy through YGO (and I meet a loooot of guys through YGO, the player base is 99% male) who thinks I'm the hottest girl he ever met because I play YGO. Like I've literally had people say "you're a girl?? ....who DUELS? that's hot!" My response tends to be something like "those are your standards? really?" and backing away.

(Ironically, I met my current bf through YGO. But he didn't, you know, try to hit on me when we first met. We were friends for months before there was even interest on either of our parts. Weird guys who will bang anything with a single common interest and a vagina: take notes.)

Re: Too much interest

[caerbannog]

An okcupid girl I met once. She went straight to life interrogation, commenting and liking all my pics, fighting with my friends, sexting and anonymous gifts left at my door (via her dad apparently?).

I bailed, too intense for me.

Re: Too much interest

[(Anonymous)]

Nope. A case of major nope. No one's really been interested in me.

Cue sad trombone.
