okay. i had a gentleman who wanted to meet me so i met him at the mall. he seemed nice enough and asked if he could stop by my home. i said why not. my kids and nephew were home so i did not feel uneasy. well as soon as he gets to my house he gets his truck stuck in my driveway. i push him out and then when he was leaving he gets his truck stuck in my ditch. i tried to push him out but i could not. so i offer him a ride home. it was a terrible snowstorm and the streets were really bad but i did not want him to miss seeing his son so i drove him home about 50 miles away. he did not offer to pay for the gas and he left his truck in my ditch and expected me to have it moved out. and have a mechanic look at it. i am a nice person so i had to wait til after christmas to have the man down the road move it for me. in the meantime, a sheriff comes to my door and asks me whose truck that was. i gave him the man's number and the sheriff tells me that a.-there is ficticious plates on the truck and b.- the registation is in someone else's name. so i call the guy up and tell him what the sheriff told me and he said it was his cousin's truck and he did not change the title yet and the plates were his stepson's and he had the original plates for it. so i have it moved and looked at and it was his battery. i tell him and he goes on to say well it is a new battery it can't be it. my mechanic is pretty sharp and he said it was an old battery i have to believe him. then this guy leaves his truck in my driveway for 2 weeks. he finally comes and gets it after i tell him i will have it towed. now the guy will not leave me alone. he calls me all the time and texts me and cannot understand why i do not want to see him again. what do you think of this whole scenario? i have had bad dates before but this one takes the cake.

Holy Lonelymoma! Practice the catch and release method here, let this one go! Too many things don't add up. Not having the decency to pay for the gas being the first one, the title and license plates being the next. Do not take any more calls or emails from him, and if he continues take action.

You are too kind, if it was up too me, I would of had some salvage yard come haul it off, as sson as the sheriff told me that, and then deposited the money I got from the truck in my checking account....

The guy is a loser! I sure hope that you didn't meet him here! That would give all us guys here a bad rep. Most of us are respectable working men. Please don't judge us all by one jerk off!

Well it sounds like a real bad date LOL Look at it as something you will always remember and have a story to tell.... Now to get him off your back just tell him he owes you 50 dollars for getting towed out and another 50 for the mechanic to look at it... Hell bet you wouldn't hear from him again

Something is fishy if he leaves his truck stuck in your ditch for 2 weeks. This guy is a loser and you don't need him.

lonelymama, I really feel for you. Listen to kgearly1021's advice. You may need to take legal action ultimately. I want you to know that even though you hardly are acquainted with the creep and may not even know his real name this falls under the parameters of domestic relations. Look into to your legal options so that if he escalates his nuisance behavior you can take swift evasive maneuvers. Do not threaten him in anyway or give him legal advise by telling him when you are going to file a report or take him to court. Just do what you have to do to get this rash off of you.

I had your problem- I tried to be nice and it cost me my dignity and almost my life. I had to institute some dating safe guards and establish some ground rules... These are the survival basics.

Women out there- KEEP YOUR DISTANCE UNTIL YOU ARE CERTAIN THAT YOU FEEL SAFE WITH THE MAN YOU ARE DATING. EARLY IN YOUR RELATIONSHIP MEET AT PUBLIC PLACES AND IN THE COMPANY OF FRIENDS AND ADULT FAMILY AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. DO NOT EVER PERMIT A MAN TO KNOW EXACTLY WHERE YOU LIVE UNLESS YOU ARE CERTAIN THAT YOU ARE GOING TO ESTABLISH AN ON GOING RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM. NEW BOYFRIENDS DON'T GET WORK NUMBERS. Get yourself a throwaway phone and forward the calls to your main phone. If he's psycho throw your cheap mobile away... "Good riddance!!!". Access to your home is a dating man's privilege and NOT his right. If you're NOT in an intimate adult relationship, no man should be granted access to your home unannounced and vice versa. Make him call you before he comes over and vice versa. Demand that a man respect your pace and timing in a relationship as you should his. If he is on the outs with you and you need him gone... make sure to let your friends know what is happening so that they can support you. But do not waffle and go back to him. Your friends will stop supporting you and you will be alone. That is a deadly mistake. And for heavens sake women,... if that man is not respecting you and is hunting you down and cornering you off... fight him with everything you have emotionally and physically. Shock, awe and relentless overwhelming force is the only language some men understand. The key is learning the specific male lexicon of the one you're dealing with and getting your message across.
