OMG Stalkers everywhere!
Am I stalking Subway girl? How can you tell if you are a stalker? What causes someone to become a stalker? How can you tell if someone who you see often, but are not friends with, is a stalker and most importantly what can you do about an ignorant stalker?
The reason I think I might be a stalker is because I have intentionally gone to Subway in hopes of seeing Subway girl. Sure, Subway is the only place around that offers healthier food and the food does taste good but I really go there mainly because I know that Subway girl works there. I found myself thinking that what I was doing could be considered stalking by some.
Now, I don’t follow anybody home from work or anything but I have seen Subway girl at other places around town. Sometimes she recognizes me and says hi or honks and other times we just walk by without saying anything.
I don’t think it is really stalking someone until you drive by places you think they would be just to check if they are there. If I drove by Subway and looked inside to see if Subway girl was working before deciding if I should stop that would be one strike against me for stalking. If you know information about them but they do not know that you know, such as address, phone number, full name, etc. you might be stalking them. If you have ever gone to an event like a sporting event or festival to watch them or try to run into them and not for the event it self; you are stalking them.
Now why would someone start stalking a person? The way I see it, one might start stalking someone because they wanted to know more about the person in hopes of having a better chance of success in a relationship with them.
For example I might think that knowing Subway girls phone number would be a great step in getting a date with her. That is technically correct but if I got that number by asking the manager at Subway for it that would be stalking and would be a step in the wrong direction. It is extremely creepy when someone who should not have your number calls you to talk.
Deciding if someone is stalking you is a tricky one. You really need to make that distinction for yourself. If you see someone all the time but you get no bad vibes they might just have a similar routine to you. If you want to test maybe change your routine for a bit and see if they change their patters as well.
You could also counter stalk them or get a friend to watch them and see if they are doing things with the only real reason being they include you. If you change your routine, get a friend to watch and see what the stalker does about it. For example Subway girl could take a few weeks off and see if I still go to Subway or could have one of the other “sandwich artist” there tell me she quit and see how I react.
Most important, what to do if you are being stalked by someone who does not know they are stalking you? Ask them, seriously, if they are stalking you. I should clue them in.
