Wow! That’s like in the movies. It’s a reminder how crazy some guys (or people) can be. Sorry Hollandtx that you have to live that.As a woman, I would say that this is a great outcome.
I would also advise your GF to watch her back, be hyper-focused on her surroundings, cars that might be following her, etc.
I'm not trying to freak you out, but I have been stalked twice. Once, from a guy who was angry I broke up with him. It was pretty basic stuff. He would be waiting at my house when I got home, show up on my running route in his car, but backed off after a few weeks. I never felt "in fear" that he would take it further.
The other situation is the exact opposite. When I was a TV reporter, I started receiving fan mail from an anonymous man. At the same time, since I was just an intern then, I had to work in the Kinsolving Dorm serving meals. In the summer it is co-ed, so there were many guys I would talk to every morning as they came through the line. One guy was a huge Asian, 6'3 at least. He was top belts in all martial arts, had a body like Bruce Lee, and a huge crush on another girl who worked with me. I would give him advice every once in a while, he seemed like a really nice guy.
Well, long story, one day he asked me to lunch, and he needed to run by his apt beforehand. When I walked in, there were like 50 pictures of me all over, taken with a long range lens and obviously when I wasn't aware. It was like an episode of some crime show!
Needless to say, I cut off communication with him immediately.
Well, to this day, he has been able to follow me whenever I have moved, been in training in different cities when only my family and a few friends knew where I was. I have no idea how he finds me, much of this was before computers. He donates blood in my name every year, and I still get a couple of letters from him each year with him commenting on what I was doing or wearing that day. It is super freaky. I know he doesn't live here in San Antonio. Some men get fixated and can't let go for some reason. He is the one who scares me.
Again, I doubt any of this will happen to your GF, but if she is super hot, got him fired, and he is sexually attracted to her, she needs to stay on her toes.
He sounds stubborn, and he couldn't/wouldn't take a hint. You may want to have your GF carry a pistola, or take a self-defense class like Krav Magna. I took 2 years of that, and while I am no match in strength for any man, I am comfortable with striking, knowing where to strike, and staying calm.
She is lucky to have you!
We are looking into a carrying class to get legal. We are playing it safe. She is very paranoid right now and for good reason. She thought someone was following her from the school to her work one day so I stayed in the phone with her. Like I could do something two hours away. But at least I could advise what to do or not do. We do have a police officer that does escort her from her car into work and then when she leaves back to her car each day for now.
I am so thankful for the outcome and appreciate my friends here on Hornfans.
