I have. He's texted and cyber-stalked me anyway. In fact, I haven't replied to any of his texts since we stopped talking until this one I talked about above.

What I mean is, don't even acknowledge his existence. Sending him that text back just re-validates his several (weeks?) worth of work of trying to get you to respond. Don't answer any more of his texts and if you like, change your number. Or get Google Talk.
Luna you can ask the police to approach him like I did. You can specifically tell them you're hesitant to place a restraining order because it would cause some problems for you but this behaviour isn't appropriate. They'll contact him and give him a scare. That way, he should stop. If he doesn't, you have an air tight case for if you do want to put a restraining order in or press charges for harassment. You can also rent a post office box for a select amount of time and have the order sent there.
spindrift is right too, don't respond to ANYTHING.
I had an ex, who found an old void cheque of mine in our old stuff and he started putting money in my bank account! It took me a few weeks to figure out it was happening and where it was coming from and when I confronted him it was "but I love you, I am trying to help." then after being broken up for a YEAR he sent me his journal on valentines day! It was creepy as all heck. I went to the post office and there were a buttload of packages waiting for me there from him! I just refused them all (he never put return to addresses) I never read the journal (only opened that package by accident because I thought it was for something else) and in hindsight I wish I had documented all these things appropriately so I could file a restraining order but he finally moved away and got a new girlfriend.
Oh god. Things just got so much worse this past Friday night, it's not even funny. =/ I'll explain in a novel of a post tomorrow when I'm more awake, but let me just say this - he's "liking" all of YOUR mermaid pages, interacting with all of you via facebook in the hopes of gaining your trust to get closer to me. He just won't let me go, and I'm really starting to get scared. I looked at his profile the other night via one of my friends who still has him as a friend, and...he's fueling his own fire. Nearly every single new "like" he has, or comment or article he posts, either relates to our breakup or his "Love" for me, or he's posting the same links. Please, please, I wouldn't ask this if I didn't truly believe his intentions aren't what they should be: his facebook username is Robert Steelpanther Manchester. Remove him as a fan, or a friend if you have him. I feel surrounded and helpless after Friday, and I don't know what else to do about that particular part of the situation (him following all the mers on facebook).
Luna, send us PMs and I'll block him from my page <3 I know others will too. The guy who was stalking me earlier did the same thing, I emailed all the mermaid's pages he liked by finding their emails listed and gave them the heads up.
To be completely honest, I can't be sure he's not a member of this forum. It wouldn't surprise me. I really hate not feeling like I can talk freely about the situation anywhere. =(
Seconded. :(Quote:

You should NOT have to be afraid and if it's THIS bad you need to get over being scared about the parents and file a restraining order :(
