Maybe you should alert the staff as well, just so they know that you're uncomfortable with the situation. Ugh. I'd be creeped out too!

I agree, report him. You need a paper-trail if anything should happen. At least we have your journal here, but still, that won't prevent something from happening til it's too late. Tell everyone you see about him, even the police (a phone call might do it). Better to be safe than sorry...as they say!

Don't be afraid to make a scene and embarrass yourself and him if you have to. It would be a good idea to talk to the staff so they can keep an eye out for you. They also might have a clue as to how nuts he may actually be. But really, I've learned with people like this that if they actually touch me, it's okay to yell out "Please don't do that!" it'll make them back off.

Oh no, that is just -creepy-. I agree, you should report him or at least ask about him.

Oh yeah, let's make it unanimous - report him. He's definitely moved from flattery to creepy in my book.

Add me to the list. I would mention it to the staff...who knows what he is capable of. It could be that he has "other" (some sort of mental) problems as well as whatever he is at PT for. He could be harmless...but if he does have any other problems they would know and know whether or not you need to be alarmed. They need to be aware of this though!!

Absolutely, report him. In writing. That is entirely inappropriate behavior and smacks of actual stalking. Next he'll be following Dial-a-Ride home. I'm scared for you.

I'd definately change my schedule if possible. I'd also recommend documenting everything w/dates, times, details etc and report him. If he's a stalker type any attention good or bad would only encourage any delusions he may have. Scary stuff indeed.

you do know what some would say about him, dont you ? they would say that you are just an old prude who should love & appreciate getting some attention from a creep, you know that ? my advice is to send that dude their way. let them enjoy that type of scary stuff, i think its more up their alley, hello. all seriousness aside, lol, i would say that youve got the right idea with a change of appointments & all, that change will surely do you good. ayup. :-)

But you did, Yak. And like I said, if he creeped you, tell someone. BUT... think about this: What if he waited 50 minutes to apologize for making you uncomfortable? We are ALL guilty of assigning baser motives to his actions... because he is a guy. That's all I am saying. :) And if I had been there, I would have said (even though you arent) QUIT LOOKING AT MY WIFE! In hopes he would leave you alone, or just leave.

Personally, I think that we are guilty of assigning baser motives to his actions because too many bad things happen to women under similar circumstances. We aren't BORN mistrusting. It's a learned behavior, based on certain actions. Plain and simple - it was inappropriate for The Guy to wait 50 minutes in a parking lot. And, I DID talk to my physical therapist about the situation. I'm also changing my days. Let's hope this will be the end of it.

Think they all have the right idea, as well as you having it too. What you said, "We aren't BORN mistrusting. It's a learned behavior, based on certain actions." Seems to have it right on Milady !

I am so glad you reported the stalker. Even if it was just an innocent "flirtation", he went over the line when he touched you and if he was waiting the next time just to see y ou..... Hopefully, changing your PT days will stop this but if you see him again....I would not only tell the staff, I would ask them to give him a written warning to stay away from you and if that doesn't work..file something with the police dept. You never know these days what people are capable of doing.
