Your Momma never told you that some sparks cause fires.
A friend of mine recently met a man on a DC cruise of Georgetown. Instantly, she felt "magical sparks" when meeting this man. They spent the entire evening cruise engaged in conversations and "hysterical laughter". After the cruise was over, the walked the streets of Georgetown...stopping in a couple of bars....drinking a few martinis. They ended the evening by exchanging numbers.
Within the next two weeks, the man pursued her relentlessly and she became completely involved quickly. He called her non stop...he sent her gifts at home....he showed up unexpectantly at her job to take her to lunch. At first the attention was welcomed....she had never had a man so "smitten"...but then it began to turn creepy. She went out with me and few other girlfriends on a Friday night...and he showed up at the bar we were at and joined us. He insisted on following her home because it was dark. Needless, to say, the hairs on our heads....weave and all, stood up.
Quickly, we determined this was a stalker. She called if off with the guy but he kept calling and calling and calling.... sometimes until 3 am. She changed her cell phone number and home number but he came by her job pleading for another chance. He would sit outside her house and just watch.
She became frightened and scared to come and go from her home. I insisted she call the police the next time she spotted him outside her home...and she did. When they arrived...he was arrested immediately which was kind of unusual since she did not have a protective order. Come to find out the man had owed back child support, had a suspended license and a domestic violence history.
Ladies...be careful out there...sometimes...to many sparks...can cause a fire.
