13 Ways to tell if you're a stalker

accreditation
I'm all for women taking the initiative, but girls... there are times when we should accept that he isn't interested or that the relationship is over and just walk away.

If any of the below strike a chord, you might want to pack away the violin and go home.

1. You think you see him everywhere.

2. He hasn't returned your last 237 messages. You know, because you have checked 1892 times.

3. He no longer comes to his window. Even when the little rocks you throw start breaking the glass.

4. You phone his house when he is out, just to hear his voice on the answering machine.

5. His best friend phones to tell you to back off.

6. His mom phones to beg you to back off.

7. The sheriff delivers papers which legally require you to back off. You are sure they made some mistake.

8. He no longer appears in your friends' list, contacts' list, followers' list and etc.

9. His Facebook profile has become mysteriously inaccessible.

10. No one else has joined your group: "Tom is my God."

11. You have made a small shrine to him, facing east.

12. You are making a scrapbook of photos of the two of you together, PhotoShop-style.

13. He won't take your last Rolo.

I know. I winced at some too. Do you have any more to add? Share them below.
