I have a crush on this guy on work.  Today he mentioned, in passing thaat he had a myspace, so when i got home i looked him up on myspace and was looking at his pictures and his comments and stuff like that.  When I told my friend she was like that is stalking and he can get a restraining order against me for that.  Is this true?

" Technically " NO- heck no- First off it's not like you hacked in - its an open site, second all you did was view a web page - now if you start to change your routines to coincide with his or you start going thourhg his garbage or something then you might have a problem. Besides, most talk is not " in passing" if he said it, it's because he wants people to visit  the site- -but do not confuse his wanting people to view the site with his wanting you in any deeper sort of way

If your roomie had a restraining order against her boyfriend, why did she not report the violation to the court ? Most restraining orders say no contact. Why don't you just ask your room mate what happen ? This hole story sounds suspicious.

if u have proof opt for an orer of protection because when restraining orders a violated they tend to not do much about it. but at least file a police resport and keep it with you for proof of the stalker. that way later when something goes down at least you have something to show all the steps you took in court.

You may want to check your local and state laws to find out what actually is considered "harrassment" and "stalking".  Are there distance requirements?  Does the person have to threaten physical action or actually come in contact with his intended target?  I would recommend that you get caller id and also make sure you screen all phone calls with an answering machine so you have a record of his activity.  Make sure that the people that you are in touch with on a regular bais - child care workers employers, family - know what is going on.  keeping this type of thing secret can give the stalker an unfair advantage.\nBe safe and please, Please do not take matters into your own hands.  The law in any state does not protect vigilantes.  Only if you life is in imminent danger do you have any ground to stand on in defense.

The creep set himself up.  Maybe he should have been paying attention to his job instead of emailing cute boys!!\n\nPS:  Too bad it wasn't on Dateline: To Catch a Predator

Men do this for the thrill. It makes him feel powerful without taking any risks. If you were single, you might expect a commitment. If you are married, and you respond to his advances, he knows up front that you don't care about your commitments, so why would you care about his? \nAs for the stalker, Next time drive to the police station or call a cop from you cell and have the creep arrested. If he does this to you, he probably does it to other women too.\nIf this is a recurring problem at the gym, talk to the management or change gym's.\nIf this is a recurring problem for you personally, you might want to examine your own behavior and see if you are doing anything to encourage them. It is important to take responsibility for your own behavior too.  :)

Ever try walking by him or showing up where he's at all dressed up or wearing a cute outfit?  There's not much more you are going to be able to do without getting the nerve to finally talk to him.  If he's worth it you'll get over your shyness!  Don't do what my friend did and become a stalker.  She had a huge crush on this guy who was in training to become a fireman and she chased him everywhere.  She drove by where they were practicing putting out a house fire and he turned and saw her and fell into the burning house.  He wasn't hurt and the weird thing is they ended up married.

Seriously, what do you REALLY KNOW about this person? Is that person really a woman? I could put any picture I want on my profile and put down any kind of information and all of it false. In reality that person may be an online preditor. If she is a girl, she may be a minor like on those tv shows that try to capture online preditors. In my honest opinion I say, "Watch your back!" If you decide to go on with this any way, use precautions. Meet during the day at a busy place, possibly with some friends. Seriously.

Myspace, the relationship killer of the new generation!\nI have a great idea: stop reading his myspace page. Just don't even look at it. Ever. It doesn't exist. In fact, stop reading yours, too. Then the time you wasted worrying about it can be put towards your career.

Stalking a police officer is seriously the last thing you want to do lol. \n\nI think it would freak him out though if you do find him and go say "Wanna date me?". He may be married.

Got 2 myself-one is always mean on my posts the other was a bit of a pervert. \n Some feel you can not have an opinion if they don't share it (thats my post stalker)\n It not a crime to be mean-threating is a crime.\nIf they threating see who their server is (yahoo, hot mail,Outlook or who ever)and report them there.

I like it.  Your pictures are amazing.  To the poster that said he didn't want to see pictures of your bf, um, why not?  She has a life.  Thanks for sharing.  I LOVE MySpace!

Touching your back/shoulders and stroking your neck? Making perverse comments? Sweetie, this is called sexual harrassment. As for why they act this way, basically, they're idiots. Don't write them off as just "goofy." There is no excuse for their behavior. One guy went on a date with you and then told everyone? Is he still in high school? They think it's fun to embarrass you. They way immature men like this think, it wouldn't surprise me if they have some sort of bet going as to who can get you to give up your choice to wait until marriage first. The first thing you need to do is not date any of them. That's just a good policy wherever you may work in your life. If it ends badly, you still have to see that person every day and it can cause a lot of problems. Second, when they say inappropriate things to you or touch you or make you feel uncomfortable in any way, you need to tell them they're behaving inappropriately and ask them to please stop. If they don't, or they just think that's part of the game, you need to go to your supervisor and ask him/her to intervene. Just know that if the boss does intervene, this may make for a hostile work environment because then you'll be the girl who "can't take a joke." Sad, but it happens. Conversely, the boss may think you're overreacting and not do anything. At this point, you'll have to make a decision: file a complaint with the EEOC (Equal Employment Opportunity Commission) and let them handle it, again possibly making for a hostile work environment; quit and find another job with mature, professional coworkers; do both. Unfortunately, there is no easy solution to this. If it were just one or two guys behaving this way, it might be easier because they'd be the minority. But if all the guys you work with do it, they'll be more apt to stick together and form a united front against you, saying that you're exaggerating or even making stuff up to get them into trouble. If there are any other women who work there, talk to them and see if they're having similar experiences. If so, it will corroborate your claims and give you more credence. I'm sorry to sound so cynical and/or pessimistic, but this is an all too common situation for many women in the workplace. We've all read and heard about things like this. There's even a movie based on a true story about the first lawsuit against a company for condoning sexual harassment called "North Country" with Charlize Theron. It's a disturbing, sad movie, but it shows what some women have had to go through just to earn a living. Finally, don't let yourself be intimidated. Stick to your values, know that you don't deserve to be treated this way and you don't have to put up with it. No one has the right to put their hands on you without your permission. Be strong and stick up for yourself, and someday, if you have children, you can pass that strength on to your daughter or teach your son to have the proper respect for women. I wish you the best of luck.

I have alot of experience with this and I have learned one important thing....there are one of these people at every single job/workplace.  If you are not his supervisor, do nothing.  It seems the boss likes him so your best bet is to go to work, do your thing, keep to yourself, then go home.
