How do I make him stop?????
| Fri, 02-11-2005 - 10:24pm |
We may have discussed this before in another thread, but I can't seem to find it. I belong to a site that has a feature where you can see who's looked at your profile. There is this guy that looks at mine several times a day and it's creeping me out. He has contacted me in the past and I said I wasn't interested, but he keeps "looking". How can I make him stop?
Dear $$#@@hole,
Stop looking at my profile, you creep. I've told you that I am not interested, so GO AWAY and find someone else to look at 15,000 times a day. Better yet, GET A LIFE.
Do you think that would work? I know, somehow I doubt it.....and would probably make it worse. Any ideas?

I think that while the email might make you feel better, it might make his behavior worse.
Does you site have a blocking feature? If you are able to block him, do that, then at least he can't contact you.
Also, on some sites you are able to delete a profile from the list of people that looked at yours. Maybe everytime you see him on there, you can hit delete.
However, if his behavior is starting to make you uncomfortable in the stalker sense, talk to customer service and let them know what's going on. Perhaps they can ask him to stop.
Sorry, those are the only ideas I have right now. I'll come back if I think of anything else.
Perhaps you could try the alternative...
"Hi there! I see you've been visiting my profile quite a bit and I must admit, yours is quite interesting too. I don't usually give my phone number in the first email, but hey, I just can't help wondering if your voice is as sexy as your pictures. PLEASE give me a call soon, hot stuff... tell me what turns you on."
Then find your local extension: http://www.rejectionhotline.com/
You could always try customer service and see if they can make you invisible to him - it's worth a shot. However, unless he violates the TOS and you have something to report, you probably can't stop anyone from looking as much as they want to. If he's not otherwise harassing you, you may just have to get used to the fact - or stop looking at who's looking at you. What you don't see can't bother you. Sorry to hear about all the weirdo creeps you're dealing with lately.
Um... your ad is available to the public on an OLD site. It's out there for people to see.
If you don't want this guy to look at your profile, take it down or hide it.
Otherwise, just live with it. What do you care if he looks? He'll lose interest eventually and move on.
Ignore, Ignore, Ignore, Ignore.
You're completely anonymous to him. Do not respond at all.
At this point I usually would insert a crack about him probably typing with one hand while viewing, but I won't because I feel that might be in poor taste and further tarnish my reputation.
I don't know how that feature works (where YOU know who has viewed you) but I want to offer up a theory, Ann.
When I was on MatchMaker, I had a HotList saved of women I found interesting and had intentions on contacting. I never deleted anyone from the list even if they responded with a No Thanks. I used to scroll through my list everyday.
Is it possible you are just still on his 'HotList' and he is NOT REALLY viewing you everyday but merely running through his list and the software sees that as a 'view' and notifies you?

I think it might be a *tad* late for that to be a concern. :)
