Got my 1st taste of a crazy "clinger" and I need help!!
So I went out Friday night with my sister and her friends to her friend's divorce party (how ironic)..lol Anyway, I was drinking, dancing and having a good ol time. There was a cute guy dancing with me towards the end of the night and he seemed normal and nice and I was just having fun, nothing more...nothing less. So, we were ready to leave and he asked me for my phone number...and because I didn't know how to say NO, I stupidly gave it to him! (never again!!!) I just have to learn how to diplomatically say no thanks! So he proceeded to text me all night Saturday night... Sunday I got 9 texts from him!! And then he called and left me a vmail... then this morning I already got 2 texts and another vmail!!!! I'm freaked out 1) I never even responded to him and he's going CRAZY with the texts and calls! and 2) he's a cop and I just assume he can easily find my address and whatnot from my cell ph#? So I just texted him back and said "look, I'm sorry I shouldn't have given you my ph # the other night, I had fun but my divorce is not final yet and I am not really ready to date anyone right now." He wrote back: That's okay, we can still hang out if you want." So I haven't responded obviously.. and now as I'm typing this, he just texted AGAIN and said "this doesn't have to do with me being younger at all does it??" (he's 32 and I'm 36) WTF???????????????? HOLY CRAP!

Yeah, you've made it clear. I'd just ignore him. Honestly, that's part of the reason I'm wary about dating cops. The potential to be stalked just under the radar of what's legally actionable is too much for me.
OMG - I think I finally got rid of him.. I said "no its not because of your age, its because I'm just getting out of a 10+ yr relationship and am not ready to date. Sorry that I gave you my #." And he said "okay, but I'm willing to be friends if you want" .. I said, "thanks, but I can't" He said okay "Call or text me if you want..bye"
PHEW... that was about an hr ago and haven't heard from him again so hopefully this nightmare on clinger street is over! Never again will I be giving anyone my #!! Lesson learned!!!! I'm not even single and/or dating yet and I've already met two nightmares! A hot trainer, who wound up being bisexual and now a young, cute cop who is a stalker from hell. Calgon!!!!!!!!!!
Glad he's leaving you alone now! On second thought, you should have asked for a "Gold Card" before rejecting him
I made the same mistake and gave my number to a man back in August who I had no intention of dating. I told him that I wasn't interested but he is STILL texting me occasionally to invite me to parties or sporting events. I'm holding out for NBA playoff tickets (he's a former player). I kid, I kid!
