A female United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

OK has this ever happend to anyone? A man who works in my area is everywhere I go! Honestly every single time I leave my house I bump into him. OK he works in this area write it off, but the other week I was staying with my mum over Christmas miles away from my own area and there he was in the same shopping mall! I have spoken to him a few times but not much, but it is starting to freak me out. I'm not saying he is intentionally stalking me, how was he to know I would be at my mums. Has anyone ever experienced this? Could there be a reason we keep crossing paths?

If you run into him every-time you leave your home, and ran into him miles away from your home? It's hard to say it's purely coincidence. I just don't know how frequently you mean by "every-time!"

Are you exaggerating just a tad? Meaning it "seems" so often, or do you mean literally "every single time?"

Stalking is a very serious allegation! If you see him too often; perhaps you need to keep track of the times, dates, and locations. If you know the car he drives, look behind you in the review mirror to see if you notice his car. Then you'll know. I wouldn't recommend confronting him or flirting with him. You don't want to encourage someone creepy like that.

If you're implying it might be fate? I wouldn't consider someone following me around particularly flattering. It seems really creepy to me. I don't run into anyone so often I would have to wonder.

Being a man, I would give him an odd stare the minute we locked eyes. Being a woman yourself, I would avoid direct eye contact. Perhaps you should mention it to all the people you know. Use your phone camera if it gets too creepy.

It could be lots of possibilities harmless and not so harmless. Lots of people believe there are no coincidences.

Of course it is possible that he is stalking you. What is he like? Do you know anything about him?

I tend to be careful about stuff like this to the point of ridiculous. Whenever we go out on a date or go on a job interview we found on Craigslist, me and my friend always inform each other of the who, where, what, when of our whereabouts. Just in case. I've even gone so far as taking a snapshot of my date's license plate before I get in the car and text it to a friend.

There are a lot of weirdos out there. If I were you I would let someone know about this guy. Just in case.
