Stalking the Light Fantastic

Today's topic is stalkers.

You know, you are a little too nice to someone who ought to be on medication and all of a sudden they think you are their bestest friend. Or worse, your passionate lover.

They can get a little creepy.

The worst situation is when you're a 'too nice' girl and he's a 'shut in' passive aggressor. You can't just leave; he pleads that you are 'too nice' to abandon him like all those other [expletive deleted]. Somehow the spirit that moves him gains an ethereal connection to your spirit and now, even when he isn't with you in Azeroth, he plagues you so. He starts ending everyone contact with, "love," no matter how often you remind him that your relationship is purely 'professional'. He forever wants to group with you and won't leave alone anyone you might group with who's male. Your friend and guild avoid you. Life becomes one long trial to spoon-feed his fragile ego. Complimenting his impenetrable writings, 'playing along' with his fantasy life; and then there are the come-ons.

Just when you thought it couldn't get any creepier, you learn to regret a casual, one-nighter that he takes for a soul-rending proclamation of eternal bond. And he wants to do it again...only different. He wears you down, one day making you massage is ego (or he'll 'let' your friends know how nasty you are), and on another giving you numerous gifts (which you can't use and only he thinks are good). And on a bad day, you let him....

I'll stop there.

How do you escape? Do you, like (what was it?) five other girls who died while being his girlfriend (well one had a grandmother die), 'pass away'? Maybe you (apparently) quit the adventuring life, disappearing completely? (Like a few more of his former girlfriends.) How can you? "You're so nice, you'd never abandon me like those other [expletive deleted]."

Well?

I had this happen to a close comrade, almost word for word. I schooled her and supported her when she simple sent, "Don't talk to me anymore," and began to block out all contacts and thoughts of him. Not very easy when he is suddenly joined by others, too numerous to mention, moved by the same spirit as he. How he plagues what friends he hasn't driven off to contact you in his stead. What about how he lambastes the friends of yours he knows of.

Even I did pony up the gold for the chance for you to travel to another dimension.

p.s. The nice thing is that the powers that watch over us will seek retribution should you report him for speaking to you following this. But, WTF?
