Dude on myspace is making me uncomfortable...?

I just made a myspace and immediately I met this guy who we will call, Fred. Fred just wanted to talk and be friends, I had no problem with this. Then, he started to get a little obsessive. First, he was freaking out about how many times we were going to talk each day. Then, he wanted to talk online on aim. Then, he starts asking me out and he wants me to meet up with him and hang out with his family. Obviously, I told him no. But, I will not lie when I say I'm a little scared. I blocked him online so that he has no way of getting a hold of me. But, he lives in the same town as I do and works at a common place I go to, I've never met him before though. So, do you think I should still be worried. I block him from myspace and aim. I didn't really have any personal information about myself, like my address or anything. I just have my college on there. Plus, there are pics of me. Should I be worried or am i making a big deal over nothing??



Dude on myspace is making me uncomfortable...?

Dont worry too much until you have something to worry about, like him following you or something. He should have got the message when you blocked him hopefully. But I guess out of this you have learnt a little lesson, watch who you are talking too.....



Dude on myspace is making me uncomfortable...?

Consider leaving Myspace



Dude on myspace is making me uncomfortable...?

You should kinda be worried. Maybe he's a perverted person or something like that.



Dude on myspace is making me uncomfortable...?

Big deal.. I think you'll be fine.



Dude on myspace is making me uncomfortable...?

Let friends and family know about this guy. That way, if he does decide to go looking for you by using your picture, they know about him and they'll be able to help you.



Dude on myspace is making me uncomfortable...?

I don't think he'll go after you. He'll probably find someone else to talk to. Just be more careful with other people next time.



Dude on myspace is making me uncomfortable...?

umm if he works at a placwe you go to just dont go to that place. if you see him pretend you dont have a clue who he is. theres power in numbers so if you were to go to a place you know he'll be just go with like 5 of your friends and odds are he wont even try to go up to you



Dude on myspace is making me uncomfortable...?

He is probably some desperate loser looking to score or wanting some attention. If you did run accross him and he recognized you I would play it like I don't know anything about myspace and never had one but its funny someone around here looks like me! Hope you never have to deal with the creep. Good Luck dear!



Dude on myspace is making me uncomfortable...?

if there was no personal info u should be ok



Dude on myspace is making me uncomfortable...?

maybe you should let the local police know about him and maybe you should travel in packs for awhile until he forgets about you



Dude on myspace is making me uncomfortable...?

Well, I would be worried if someone is behaving like this. First I would remove all photos of you from your space, or make them to friends only and remove him as a friend. Then I would make your ENTIRE profile private, viewable to friends only. If he attempts to contact you again by creating a seperate account... well... just be weary and I woul dtry to stay away from the place that he works as a precaution. I don't know if this person is just being childish or if he could really be a threat, but take it from someone who met a psycho online... it isn't a fun thing to get rid of them. Especially if you are in the same town, better to nip it in the bud now.



Dude on myspace is making me uncomfortable...?

I would tell someone about it, and if you have a brother or an uncle have them put a little pressure on the guy, you know persuade him to seek another to stalk or get a busted head!



Dude on myspace is making me uncomfortable...?

I would keep your eyes and ears open. You put your picture and your college on your page. If you begin to get contact that is something other than on myspace or aim, you need to contact the police. You need to try to make sure you are safe. Have people walk you to your car, try not to go places alone. Make sure there is someone in your family and/or close circle of friends that you can give your schedule to, give them any additions to it. If you have this guy's full name, you might want a restraining order. Notify your campus security of the situation. They will usually be willing to escort you back to your car or dorm to help keep you safe. If he starts showing up, or anything like that call the cops! There are stalking laws. If he is going to go to this degree, which he may, you need to use those laws.

This is the reason why people shouldn't get personal over the internet. Yes, you should be careful from now on and you should never ever give out your personal information to anybody. You don't know who's coming back at you and unfortunately you're paying the price a lot of people pay. You are now a victim of an obsessive person and YOU are living in fear. Take this situation and use it as a permanent bit of wisdom.



Dude on myspace is making me uncomfortable...?

Tell your Famliy and Friends know about this guy! Let them see his pics and stuff like that if he comes by you or anywhere near you, you know what he looks like and tehy know what he looks like! If it gets bigger than what it is and the you get the police involved they can look at all of the messages he sent u and the comments he left! just make sure it's done that way! Cover yourself!



Dude on myspace is making me uncomfortable...?

WORRIED



Dude on myspace is making me uncomfortable...?

first of all, make your Myspace page private. Then only people on your friends list can see your photos, and blogs, etc. People that are NOT on your friends list will just see the plain original white page you started with, and your main photo.



I think you are a VERY smart girl to trust your instinct on this guy. He is creepy and obsessive and you should stay away.



Pretend that the internet as the mall. Treat all people you meet online as if you were @ the mall meeting them. If some guy just came up to you and started asking you out, and said "HEY come over here and meet my family. Can i have your phone number??" you would think he was a freak and get security.



But for some reason when people meet others online, they feel the need to not be "rude".



Stay away from this guy. Make your profile private. On your Maine Page, click on "account settings". Then click on "Privacy Settings". Scroll down to "who can view my profile" and click "My friends only". Here you can also hide your "online now" icon, and stop pic forwarding.



I personally don't add anyone to my myspace friends list unless they accompany the request with a message to my inbox. If they can't introduce themselves and tell me a little about themselves, then they aren't going to be a friend of MINE.



Dude on myspace is making me uncomfortable...?

Do everything in your power to avoid him. Those kind of guys are dangerous. I'm not trying to scare you, but it's possible he could track you down somehow. Be careful about what information you have on the internet. Take off anything like phone numbers, addresses, age, school, work, even your last name. You might want to start using a different name online. Don't give away any personal information because anyone could use it against you. It doesn't usually happen to totally random people. It usually happens to people that have been in situations like yours. There are ways to protect yourself. Be careful what info. you post and what you say to people, especially strangers, in conversations. Try not to get people angry with you because there are a lot of sycopaths on the internet that when triggered can turn dangerous. Above all else: BE CAREFUL! Good luck.



Dude on myspace is making me uncomfortable...?

First thing, you met him on myspace. Even though you blocked him, I suggest making a new one with an entirely different theme or something. Maybe even your name. I'm not sure what you want to do with your aim. I mean, that's more importan than myspace. So, just keep blocking that guy. Okay, he lives in the same town with you. Bigger problem. Ummmm, good thinking about not givin away the personal information, but about the college and pictures, I don't think that was the best idea. Since you gave him your pictures, I bet he you his. If he did, then, carry it around with you or at least remember his face and whenever you see the exact same fce or even close to it, move away. If he works in a place you ususally go to, try going to that place s least as possible or let someone go there for you or something.



Dude on myspace is making me uncomfortable...?

YOU NEED TO DOCUMENT EVERYTHING.. AND MAKE SURE EVERYONE YOU TRUST OR SOMEONE YOU TRUST KNOWS WHAT IS GOING ON .. I'D CHANGE YOUR MY SPACE AND TAKE OUT YOUR HOME TOWN AND ANY OTHER INFO THAT COULD HELP OTHERS TO TO PUT YOU IN THE SAME BOAT IN THE FUTURE.. THE YOUNG ADULTS I KNOW HAVE PRIVETE WED SPACES..THAT HELPS TO KEEP PEOPLE OUT THAT U DONT KNOW "" WELL"" IF U WANT TO MEET NEW PEOPLE//FIGURE OUT WHAT KIND OF PEOPLE U WANT TO MEET AND TRY ORGANAZATION OF INTEREST OR VOLENTEER ..SAD TO SAY BUT U NEED TO CONSIDER HOW TO KEEP YOUR SELF SAFE IN THIS WORLD..IF YOU R CONCERENED..GO WITH YOUR GUT..



TRY CHANGING HAIR COLOR/STYLE THAT CAN MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE IN HOW U LOOK ..GOOD LUCK AND STAY SAFE...THERE IS ALWAYS THE LAW IF FEEL IT 'S NEEDED//



Dude on myspace is making me uncomfortable...?

He's most likely, harmless. If you have certain bits of info, do a background check.



If you didn't know, a law was recently passed which makes any type of sex offender info available on the Internet.



Also, you could tell fred you have a new bf, and you don't want to contact him anymore.



Last of all, you could have a male relative (BIG UNCLE JIM) email fred. Let fred know, you got back up.



Dude on myspace is making me uncomfortable...?

Of course you should be worried. Don't understand why girls are so naive to think they can put themselves "out there" on a forum like that and not get worried. You can do other things with your life!
