10 Signs That You’re a Stalker - And One That Means You’re Just Enthusiastic.

  • No Related Post

So on Twitter, I’m subscribed to/following confession, where I read “I have a crush on someone I’ve never met, but I love the sound of her voice & keep tripping over her on teh interwebs. Am I a stalker?”

Yes, loser! You ARE a stalker! For people who don’t understand the difference between pining for your true love and being a friggin stalker, here are ten tips.

First, watch this video.

  1. If you feel the same way Stephen Colbert feels in the Charlene video, You. Are. A. STALKER.
  2. If you ever say the “I’m not a stalker or anything” line, you my friend, are in fact a stalker.
  3. If you have a shrine to someone you haven’t dated in a long time, you are quite the stalker. And yes, three months is a long time. Don’t try to trick me with Stalker Math.
  4. If you PLAN accidental meetings more than once, with someone who has previously rejected your affections, you are also stalkerazzi.
  5. If you’ve been told repeatedly that your advances are unwanted, and yet… continue to pursue in any way, shape or form, you are a stalker. Piners love from AFAR in solitude, not on my front steps at four in the morning.
  6. If you’re calling my phone hoping to get my voicemail just to hear my voice, yes, Dennis, You Are My Stalker.
  7. If you’re making a scrapbook by Photoshopping yourself into pictures with me, whether or not you show them to people, you’re what’s known as a crazy stalker.
  8. If you’re harassing my friends for news about me because I’m NOT TALKING TO YOU, then oh yeah - you’re a friggin stalker. And a loser, because it takes a lot for me to just stop talking to someone.
  9. If you’re planning the injury/downfall/firing/murder of someone’s spouse so that you can be with someone, because you think, on your own that they were forced to marry someone else, and you think they’re unhappy, even when they told you that they are NOT, a stalker are you.
  10. If you’ve put ANY song containing the words, or a paraphrase of “And You’re Gonna Love Me” onto a CD and SENT IT to the girl you “admire,” guess what? That’s not a Valentine’s Day present. That’s a restraining order waiting to happen, you know… like the ones they give to…
  11. STALKERS!

However, if you just really like someone, and you’re shy, and you’re making polite advances that aren’t being taken as advances, so you very sweetly try again, with some flowers or a serenade at a reasonable hour, you’re just really enthusiastic and kind of sweet, yes, even if the person you love doesn’t love you back.

It’s actually kind of sexy. What’s your number?

I have had several stalkers in my lifetime, one turned out to be a serial killer. He is in for life now, so no problem there. One of my stalkers though was the love of my life…haven’t seen him in 20 years, but wish he would find me again. lol.

Wow, my best friend once had a serial killer stalking her. Uncomfortably small world. If this other guy was the love of your life, was he really a stalker though?

Tem-se verificado nos ultimos tempos um crescimento acentuado na violacao dos direitos de autor. O direito de autor e o direito que o criador de obra intelectual tem de gozar dos produtos resultantes da reproducao, da execucao ou da representacao das suas proprias criacoes.

It depends on how you define “stalker” and this criteria, though does seem to come off as an all-encompassing definition, most certainly does not accurately describe what a stalker is or isn’t.

Here’s my definition of nothing:

1. If you feel the same way that Colbert feels in the video, …never mind. I can’t even watch it. Video is unavailable.
2. If you ever say the “I’m not a stalker or anything” line, it could be that you are a stalker who doesn’t want to admit it, or it could mean that you’re simply insecure about certain impulsive/obsessive behaviours in your life that show in your communication with others and don’t want to come off as a stalker in this paranoid culture so you just casually mention or joke about the quote (unaware of the paranoia likely to be found in many people).
3. Well, it depends on how you define shrine. You might not be dating and you might be in contact with the person online. What if you love your friend (that you have met and had meaningful conversations with) and have sent artistic “gifts” to them inspired by them that are then stored as a separate folder because after all, they are YOUR works of art. That could be seen as a shrine but it could also be seen as innocent art created by a genius or a fool, depending on how the person reacts. There are so many varying considerations.
4. I agree. If you plan accidental meetings with someone who has rejected your affections, that is stalkerthon.
5. What’s a piner? It depends on the nature of your advances as well as the nature of your relationship with the person. If you don’t know the person, it’s stalking to even email them when they have said to stop. If you do know the person a little but they are mad at you and have told you to go away, a simple apology is warranted. If you feel you have justifiable reasoning behind calling the person “friend”, then you are not a stalker if you apologize, say the wrong things, and continue to apologize even when they have told you to get lost. Both people are only human and a friendship that was there can return if the right things are said.
6. If you are calling voicemail to hear someone’s voice, and you don’t know that person, there can be no excuse, you are a stalker.
7. yeah, that’s pretty stalkerish. now, I don’t think it would be stalkerish if you included a real picture of yourself with someone you actually know as a friend superimposed on an artistic background of some sort, or if you did something incredibly funny or artistically cool or something along those lines that included a picture of your friend and yourself using photoshop.
8. Stalker.
9. Stalker.
10. You need to be more specific. Let’s say you’re friends with someone, they reject your romantic advances, you break down like a fool, record her a song, and say lots of stupid romantic stuff without thinking. Does this make you a stalker? If that’s true, my dad was a stalker when he did this after my mom left him. Feelings are real sometimes and people need to chill out on the stalker generalization.

HA!HA!HA!HA!HA!HA! SOUNDS JUST LIKE MY MOM EXCEPT MY MOMS STALKER IS GAY GAY GAY GAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! RIGHT AF

HE PLAYS FOR THE BOSTIN BRUINS AND HE IS A DEFENSEMEN

K&R, I’ll get another Colbert video up. It worked for months so I don’t know what that’s about. Comedy Central has a copy that should work fine. Oh, and on number 10 see the comments after. There’s a thin line. Plus if you were in a serious relationship pre-stalking, as long as you do no harm, you’re still a stalker, but the harmless kind. Some people marry their stalkers. If it makes both parties happy, I say have at it.

Jenna, nothing like a GAY stalker to make one fall over laughing.

heck, i’m not a friggin stalker so fuck you man…fuck you!

Just playing…nice article. I wish my friend could read this maybe he would learn not to stalk people on hi5.com

wow! i think ma teacher is a stalker! he asks me weird creepy questions and everything…….does dat make him 1?

Stalking is a serious thing.. I was expecting comedy, but these are pretty insulting to those who have dealt with real stalkers in their lives. The terror and anguish are real. I hope you never have to deal with it.

I *have* dealt with real stalkers. One put a gun to my head. That’s the dark place where I find the humor. Thanks for commenting though.

i think my ex is stalkerish……. he calls me and its 3 yrs later. and keeps my pics and old letters. and calls my family and “visits” them. he has figured out my cell number even though i change it. finds me on every online source available. and tortures his sis to find out stuff about me. even though i haven’t talked to her in two years. he scares me

I joke about the topic because, as I said, it’s happened to me. The most frustrating thing is that until someone actually attempts to harm you, there’s no real protection from a stalker under the law.

If someone is pursuing you and you don’t want them to, as over-reactive as it sounds, if you can get a restraining order or take any other action, do it. Better over-reaction than sorry. It’s only by Grace that my experiences didn’t lead to someplace painful.

i say yes to five of them numbers

8i want you to talk to me!!!!
6your voice is just sooo cute
5ill make you see!
4just to see you
2-pffft suddup

This made me laugh so hard. Thank you. I have been stalked before so I understand the seriousness of the topic. That being said, you are fabulous for your ability to bring out humor.
