this isn't something to ignore, dear. how did this older man get a hold of your email address? your full name? it's time to sever all ties, do not accept any more cards from him and let him know in clear terms that you are not interested or want any further attention from him. do not let this escalate, it is a problem already. there are women's resource centres (I'm assuming you are female) that can offer solid advice. do not let yourself be alone with this individual. if this is happening at your place of employment, speak to your human resources contact or the person who is senior to this man. do it now.

Keep the emails as evidence, report it to the police and start a file on this person. i am not sure why your bf won't scare him off. Hopefully he doesn't know where you live or work.Good Luck.

That sucks for you, my sympathies.
I remember when I lived in Burnaby and a Vancouver cop was stalking my gorgeous neighbor on the 1st floor corner. He would sit outside in his cruiser waiting for her to come home (sure, he was just a few blocks outside of Vancouver, working hard of course). I was pretty close to phoning up his bosses and asking why one of their officers was parked on Esmond in Burnaby for hours every week. I even saw my neighbor park across the other side of Hastings just to avoid him...nightmare

I've been stalked before. Google Gavin DeBecker. He gives the best advice possible on how to deal with stalking. It could save your life! He also clarifies when calling the police is a good idea and when it's going to make it worse. Be safe, friend!

"I only date women and if you don't leave me the fuck alone I'll call the fucking cops! You fucking creep."

That's what I would say. If you have this guys number have one of your males friends call him up, big brother if possible, and tell this goof that if he doesn't stop harassing you that your bro will go ape shit, seeing emergency before the police.

I can imagine why you're fearful. I'd be if I were you. My ideas, from a male perspective, may be too agressive for your liking, especially if you fear a form of retaliation. I know that if this was happening to my sister I would fuck him up.
Other than that call the police. They'll take care of him.

After some thought I'm actualy meeting a north Vancouver RCMP officer this aft . Just thought I'd update . And I have saved all the cards , letters , emails , and fb messages btw , and I'll be showing the cops all of them . Oh and to answer the earlier question he was a neighbor that's how he knew my name , he rented the basement of a house I also rented in .

Is he so much older he is senile? Understandable how a lonely old man might admire an attractive young woman, but sending 10 messages a day (is this every day for months???) isnt a logical activity if your not receiving friendly replies to those messages. On the chance he is simply a harmless old fool, hopefully you let him know firmly his attention was unwanted and felt harrasing?
Would be interesting to hear if it turns out he has a history of this or other crimes? or if he has been peeping? security camera may be in order.

Awesome. I hope it went well. Stay safe.

i've had the same sort of thing happen to me. good for you for doing something about it. some people are just obsessive and the longer it goes on, the worse it gets. good luck, hope he wasn't spying on you, too. very invasive. hang in there, change your email or block his emails, change your passwords, you may also have to delist your ph#.
