Rant: Stalkers

Funny story, I now have a nemesis. Here is the story. There is a girl in my ward that kind of likes me. I think she is an awesome friend, but not looking for a relationship with her. She met this boy some time ago, that had no friends, so she decided to befriend him. Bad Idea. He fell madly in love with her, and didn't take it well when she rejected him a few weeks ago. My part in the story starts last night. He moved into my ward a few weeks ago, I guess to be closer to her, some people just thought it would be to try and make new friends because he didn't have any in his other ward. Well last night at FHE at the Bishop's house, he met my roommates. When he mentioned how much he loved her, they mentioned that she and I had something going on, I guess he threatened me, and they said they had my back, thinking he was joking at the time. As the night progressed he said he wanted to fight them and even started cussing at them. Luckily they are both men of patients and didn't beat him, because they are both way bigger and stronger than him, he just has some problems. Well this morning I get a surprise message on facebook from this stalker saying "I hate you, if you are dating... we are going to rumble" followed by one calling me a coward for not responding. My first inclination was to respond with "I'm a lover not a fighter" but I did not want to provoke him, so I just didn't respond. The story gets worse. I was telling a coworker about this, who decided to message the kid saying that a threat to me is like a threat to him. *Note: I have really great friends.* That really got the guy mad, and he started cursing at my coworker through messages saying he had nothing to lose and that he wanted to fight and such, and even made a hit at his wife. My coworker being the army guy that his is, was not very pleased, but had to go to class so I didn't get to hear more. His next message to me was "coward! I know ur dating... now ur an enemy of me! I dont care if u get ur friends on me. as long as i can get a finger in one of their sockets and pull one of their eyeballs out!" Like I said he is crazy. So now I am at a point to thinking should I get a restraining order, should I call the cops on this guy, should I just hope he cools down. The worst part is not me being worried about what he is going to try to do to me, but what he might do to her, because supposedly after the meeting with my roommates last night, he may have threatened her too. Also I am pretty sure I am about a foot taller than him, so I am not real scared I just don't know what to do about crazy.

Moral of the story: Stalkers suck!
