> hi james,

My Reply :
Who are you?
and also
far more importantly
If i dont know you and ive never met you and your not currently my
friend.....why have u emailed me? and EVEN MORE IMPORTANTLY how did u get
my aber email address?????
Regards,
J
His reply :
hi james,
sorry for emailing you like this....
I've seen you but I was not brave enough to talk to you. I hope you wouldn't mind making friends with me. I know your name and hwta you studying, so I searched your email contact on uni web site.
I'm an oversea student, doing postgraduate programme here. I'd really like to have a drink with you sometime soon and we could get to know each other.
Can we have a chat or a drink, please? have u got msn messenger? if you do maybe you could chat online ?
Cheers
JC

my latest reply :
Ok i dont know you so presumably you dont actually know me. If you do know me then youve been stalking me which is erm.... quite worrying.
What am i studying if u know? And why have u suddenly decided to just email me out of the blue asking to meet? Why do you want to talk to me so much?
who the hell are you?
Regards,
J

Well, it's a 50/50 situation. Either she wants to shag you or she doesn't.
It seems to me she wants to.

but the email name is "James Harrington"

a quick check on the university 'blackboard' system shows noone of the name 'harrington' studying at aberystwyth university.

Additionally; If you wait a while before answering the person if a. is either joking or b. is serious will reveal the nature of his/her attempt to contact you.

arrange to meet in a busy place and get them to wear something recognisable, that way you can see who they are... if theyre a fit female, go for them, if theyre the opposite, go for them with your fists for being weird :P

i am being deadly serious.
if this is any of you.
stop it now because it isnt remotely funny.
i shall be ringing the police later to find out how to deal with it.
i dont like the thought of someone watching me and knowing a great deal about me and then asking to meet me out of the blue via email like a goddamn stalker.
JJ

JJ, I didn't think it was illegal to send someone e-mails though.
You're just letting this thing get to you too much, its just someone trying to get to you and succeeding.

i know your aber email but it isn't me, i'd be in the firing line when i got there so it sin't me
and i think this guy may be genuine(ly creepy), so watch out.
are you in the seafront again did you say, because he knows yo staying there/stayed there too so i would guess it is prolly actually someone there because only people at aber or going to would want to know so he must be there, and if so he's been stalking you for a year now.

Or get a tazer. Or pepperspray.
For comedy effect, get one of those tear-gas things that the cops have. Those that look like those red things you put out fire whit.

Here's what happens:
You eventually decide to meet this person for a drink.
You turn up at a pre-arranged place.
You wait a while.
Nobody else turns up.
You go home and think nothing more of it.
EXCEPT YOU SHOULD AS THE STALKER DID ACTUALLY TURN UP BUT INSTEAD OF SPEAKING TO YOU THEY JUST FOLLOWED YOU HOME AND THEY NOW KNOW WHERE YOU LIVE AND THEY WILL BREAK INTO YOUR ROOM ONE NIGHT AND JACK OFF ONTO YOUR PILLOW MAYBE WITH AND MAYBE WITHOUT YOU BEING THERE!
Apparantly it's what stalkers do.

It's when you know the address, phone number and e-mail of a girl you fancy who you've never actually spoken to you start thinking "Maybe i have a problem".

I'm not a lawyer but I think conduct like this would amount to harassment under the Protection from Harassment Act, and I think JJ's quite right to go to the police if he's worried about it.

it hasnt bothered me in the slightest.
its something 'on my mind' but im not going to jump of a cliff over it. its just something else i have to 'deal with' and tbh im not in the mood if it is a joke.
hopefully it is and we can all go 'hahaha' etc but if it isnt then im mildly concerned.
anyhoo.
