well, the thread title says it all: i have a facebook stalker. i just need to know what to do about this creep! i want to block him, but i don't know how.

i can't remember exactly how i met him on facebook, but ever since i started chatting with him, he sounds like he keeps trying to get me to leave my husband for him. plus, ever since i told him that my husband and one of my best friends find him creepy, he's been badmouthing them. and now, he keeps sending me emails on facebook. in his emails, he always seems like he's yelling. my husband thinks he might be bipolar.

anyway, getting a little off the subject, but, what do you all suggest i do?

There has got to be a way to stop this guy from facebook. You can just delete him from your friends list, that should totally work. If you met him on facebook then there should not be any negative re-precautions to simply deleting him. You have no reason to listen to some random guy on the internet, especially when he is saying negative things about your husband.

You can either delete him from your friends list or change your privacy settings to make sure he can no longer see any of your posts, or messages. If this guy now knows any of you personal information there is a chance he can find you again. I am unsure of any other ways to permanently block a user on facebook with out reporting them. I hope all goes well and you get rid of him.

Don't respond to the things he says anymore. Most people give up when you stop responding to them.

Delete him from your facebook, then block him, and get a new e-mail address if he's bothering you that much. Hope all goes well for you, whatever you do.

I can kind of understand your dilemma here. Guys like that will sometimes pop up on facebook and other online sites, unfortunately. I had one like that rear his head and try to sway me out of a relationship with a girlfriend (in which I was QUITE content at the time), because he could talk me out of my Androphobia at the time. My best advice to you is to ignore him, and block him. You give a person like that attention, and they are only likely to push further to see what they can get from you.

Delete him and block him (I know it's hard with the new Facebook layout, but you can find what you need to know here: Help Center | Facebook ).

Do not respond to any of his messages. Be VERY careful who you add to your Facebook, because stalkers can (and often times will) make new accounts to continue stalking someone. You can also report him and his posts/messages to Facebook for harassment if it ever comes to that. I recommend changing your privacy setting, too, and being extra careful. If someone he knows and is friends with is friends with you, too, he could spy on you/contact you from their account.

thanks everyone. i just blocked the creep so hopefully i won't get any more crap from him. yay!

You should delete him from your friends list, thats really creepy, lol...you really should never add someone you don't know. Unless you look at there name and see that they have friends in common with you then you're kind of asking for that..

facebook is full of stalkers, i mean look at it, it's a website made to look at people's profiles and see what they're interested in, look through photos and to top it all off most people update their status by telling everyone what they have done that day or what the plan to do the following day. face it people, it should have been called STALKER'S-R-US

Well, there's a way you can show only ur profile picture and fan pages (it's the least amount you can reveal to anyone, i can't find a way to get rid of the fan pages >.<) You can even stop him from messaging u and requesting to be ur friend

Wow, I hope you haven't given this creep your private information o.o
And avoid adding ANYONE who looks suspicious. It could be him in disguise.
And if worse comes to worse you could always report him for harassment. Good luck!

This plan might take a while but it eventually works. Or you can tell him to bugger off and jump in a lake(that's what I would do..)

That's scary anyway. Be careful and take a look if he added some of your friends, or try to be cautious if somebody you don't know asks for friendship.

Just a question, did you ever tell him you were one of the people who used to think he was a creep, or you simply said you considered it 'cause your friend and your boyfriend told so? Maybe noticing he was pissing you out he would have reacted in a different way...

Maybe not, when somebody goes to the lenght to block somebody else, there's definitely a good reason behind. If you suspect his being bipolar maybe he really acted weird.

it was him sending requests to my friends that was really bugging me. like i said, it sounded like he was hitting on one of my friends. and another problem was, he told me that he absolutely hated gay men, so i was worried he'd send a request to one of my friends then continuously insult him for being gay! altho, if he had done that, he'd probably no longer exist. i'm very protective of my friends.

i guess im unwelcome here, considering im an online stalker! :lol:

in all seriousness, im glad you were able to deal with your problem. The Internet has become a media where anyone and everyone can easily access anything and everything so as long as one is willing to go for it.

might i ask if you already reported his behavior to the FaceBook staff and the proper authorities? that usually helps
