I lived with a stalker...
He was a lovely lad. A science boffin who mostly kept himself to himself, occasionally partied like it was 1999 (it was, funnily enough...) and was charming if a bit shy with the ladies.

At one point, me and another housemate had heard him moving about but not actually seen him for a few days so we decided to check in on him.

We knocked on the door and he came and opened it. We proceeded to have a perfectly normal, genial conversation. Chat about the football. Crack a few jokes. Agree to meet for a pint later, etc.

What made it unusual was that behind him, we could see (literally) hundreds of photos pinned up on the walls of one of the girls in our year, taken with a long-lens camera at various locations around town (including in her bedroom, taken from what must have been a window in one of the computer rooms), and the poetry written in felt tips on big sheets of A3 strewn all over the floor.

When we met him for a pint later on, we suggested to him that this might be a bit unhealthy. He was totally un-embarassed about it but agreed it was a bit weird, and said he'd stop stalking her.

He's getting married this year, and I'm the best man! We've never spoken of it again...

heh
sounds like a pretty sound guy. Nice to see that he could be so reflective on the whole thing. I suppose nothing wrong with indulging if no one gets hurt. :)

Your speech
may be the perfect time to bring it up again.

Ha!
That would be lovely.

The way I see it...
...the girl he was stalking owes you big-time. Clearly she'd be in a plastic bag hadn't you intervened. Perhaps you should follow her round until she thanks you? ;-)

It's great to read a positive stalker story for once!!
I like.

Married to the girl he stalked?

Nope
Much nicer girl, actually. The girl he was stalking was a knob.
