As someone who has had the misfortune to have been subjected to harassing behaviour more than once (lets see....followed home while i was on the bus by a guy in a car who i didnt know, a guy who wouldnt take no for an answer in trying to get me to go a "walk" with him - again who i didnt know, a guy i randomly walked past on the street while on holiday with my parents tracking me down when we returned home from the little information my uncle and aunt gave him, an ex who i dated more than 10 years ago for only 2 months declaring i was the love of his life.....he was leaving his wife for me - and she was fine with this, she called me to tell me even though i'd made clear to both of them i wasnt interested - and then started leaving flowers and "love notes" on my car in the middle of the night for me to find when i was going to work and lets not forget the guy who - after meeting him for the first time...as a friend of a friend may i add - started planning mine and his wedding), perhaps I'm now desensitised to this type of behaviour but as of yet, it could just be a case of reading the signals wrong if you've accepted his fb request. I've learned that sometimes......people can be crazy and their "logic" actually has no logic to it at all.
Perhaps the best way to combat any claim he may make of "she gave me her number" or whatever is to message him back saying something along the lines of "I think you have the wrong idea, I am not interested in having a social relationship with you. I have no idea how you got my number, the only thing that comes to mind is that you have taken it from my customer records at your place of work without my permission. Please delete my number from your phone and do not contact me again".
If your phone shows sent text messages......keep it just in case.
You may also want to check your fb page......quite a few of my friends have been unwittingly displaying their mobile numbers. Even though they hadn't listed it (but had been posting via their phone) or had listed it as private (something to do with fb resetting security options or something like that).
Then again, if you report it to his work, he'll have to say where he got the number from. But as another poster said, wouldnt be too hard for him to say you gave him it and your bf must have seen the text and now you're reporting ti so your bf doesnt find out. Which is where sending him something like i posted above would help. I honestly don't think he's much to worry about....if he were, he wouldnt have waited a year between texts.You keep using that word.

I did something similar to that once.. I declared somebody to be the love of my life, not after just 2 months though, but about 6 hours:rotfl:.
It was a good number of years ago now, but when I moved away to university on the very first night the 6 of us who had just moved in went out (as you do). I got very drunk (very quickly) and told my flatmate, whom I had just met, she was the love of my life and we was solemates before making my move - fortunately she was very needy (and slutty) and it worked, we went out for about 9 crazy, alcohol filled months after that before it ended disasterously and caused a flat divide haha!
(I will add though, I didn't stalk her
) 0 -
