I met this guy online and I seen red flags everywhere and started ignoring him. He went behind my back and found out where I lived and then had the nerve to tell me I know where you live and what your house looks like. I felt like he was invading my privacy and going over board looking me up online to find out where I really lived. After a awhile I started ignoring his phone calls and emails and he left me alone after telling me he finally found someone else which I was very please for him but he still wants to call me and bother me. Stalker I think.....
