Spooky Moments: Tales of Creepy Times With My Sweetheart

Having a date to look forward to is something that most people love. It could be someone you have known for a long time or someone you met online. Regardless of it, what matters is the moment of getting to know them more.

Supposedly, dates should be when you slowly show some of your real side, and people can’t help but pretend to be someone. However, it will not be long for them to show their true colors. 

1. Unwanted Third Wheel

We met at his house first, and he was taking me out to lunch somewhere “surprise.” I didn’t know it was McDonald’s until we pulled into the car park.

He didn’t mention having invited his ex until we were already there, and she showed up soon after. I would have left before she got there, but he took me there in his car, and it would have been quite an expensive taxi back to his house to get my car.

The ex was really nice and tried to make things less awkward. She didn’t know it was a date. She thought she was just meeting with her ex for lunch and was shocked that I was there.

While my date was in the bathroom, the ex confided in me that she hoped to get back together. I told her that was fine because I had no interest whatsoever.

After lunch, he took me back to his house, and the ex came in the car, too. He tried to put a movie on, but I insisted on leaving.

He then took my car keys off the bench and locked himself in his bedroom while he hid them from me. I did get a bit scared at this point.

His housemate helped me find my keys while my date started the movie with his ex, and I left without saying anything more. There was no second date, and those two returned together a few weeks later.

2. Weirdest Act

Maybe it's not the creepiest thing, but it's pretty gross. I was hanging with a guy I met through a mutual friend. So we went out for ice cream and went back to sit in his car to listen to music while we had our ice cream.

He's sharing his taste in music with me while rubbing my head/playing with my hair? Didn't quite know how to feel, but I figured he was trying to be romantic.

Not too long after this, he got to the bottom of his ice cream cone (the one with the chocolate on the inside) and said, "This is your arse."

And tried to show off his rimming skills, I guess. And thought the chocolate would be cute!? I'm cringing just typing this out. Not a good memory.

3. Not Just Dark Humor

I met this cute girl online. She was all sweet and funny. When one day, we decided to finally meet after talking for quite some time. She had her car that day, and she was the one driving.

She was driving us back home from the restaurant and started saying things like, "You know, you're in my car now. Technically, I can take you wherever I want. You're like my prisoner."

I laughed the first time she mentioned it because I'm into dark humor, but when she kept going on with it, little did she know that once I got out of the car, that would be the last time she'd ever see me.

4. Mom’s Date

My mom was a “pioneer” in online dating. She was really interested in finding “someone special.” She agreed to meet a guy for dinner (first mistake) and went in to be seated before he arrived.

He came in, the waitress brought menus, and he set down his menu. The first words he spoke were asking my Mom if she had ever known anyone who had a guy’s part enlarged.

He then explained that he had flown across the county for this operation, which had “gone wrong.” He went into great specifics about just “how wrong.”

My mother excused herself to the ladies' room and left out the back door. We still laugh out loud when she reminds us of her “search for Mr. Right.”

5. Silent But Deadly

This guy wasn't talking at all, and I only brought up a few talking points cause, normally, they talk the whole time. Gosh, it was tiring.

I didn't have anything else to say and asked him to start talking, and he said, "What I want to talk about can't be said in public." Uhmm, okay?

When I ended the date, he thought we were going to go to my place to "talk," and I said no. I got in my car, noted what car he got into, and took a few breaths to calm down.

I looked around, and his car was still there. I waited 30 minutes before he left the parking lot and stayed another 15 before I left.

6. Not Like Online

Ooh, I can answer this one! A few months ago, I matched with a guy on an online dating app, and things seemed to be going well over chat, so we ended up meeting for a date.

As soon as we met, I had a bad feeling about him: not as in he was a creep, but I just had a vibe we weren't going to progress further.

He seemed a bit off and not as friendly as he appeared online. I thought I might as well have a meal and chalk this down to experience if this doesn't pan out.

Anyway, during the course of the meal, alarm bells began to go off when he started referring to women as "stupid and pointless" and only good for "one thing."

I began to get really uncomfortable and was trying to think of a good excuse to leave. Of course, I got naturally defensive and said talking about a woman like that was derogatory.

Then he started to complain that there were vegetables in his burger, referring to the lettuce, and proceeded to pick it out, calling the waitress who took our order a "dumb witch" because he specifically said no vegetables in his meal.

Anyway, said lettuce ended up landing in my handbag, which completely pissed me off, and I finally told that I had to go because, honestly, at that point, I felt like shoving the lettuce in his fat misogynist face.

To say I ran as fast as I could to my car is an understatement (luckily, I got to the restaurant before we met up, so he didn't know my parking spot )

As soon as I got in my car, I ended up unmatching him from the app and blocked his cell phone number, but later on, I still received a text from another number saying, "Hey, it's *Brad from the app. I know pretty much all I need to know about you, so let's make out, yes?"

Like, what the heck? It sounded so creepy like he was analyzing me to see if I was suitable to sleep with. And going by the way, I ran off like I was on fire and blocked him.

I should've told him I wasn't interested! I didn't reply to him and blocked that number. Then I get another message from another number saying, "crock teasing witch," and "I'll see you again one day, and then I'll have my moment."

That was the last thing I heard from him. Not only was he an utter cunt, but he was creepy too. And he had a face the size of a planet.

7. Like A Movie

So this dude and I kept randomly being on the same bus. We would never talk but make eyes. It was somehow clicking on me. But not that much. 

A few months into this, we get off at the main bus hub, and he approaches me and invites me to dinner. There was a teriyaki place right across the street.  

So we went and had a good conversation. I had a good time. When it came to separating ways, well, it wasn’t what he said per se.

But the fact that he brought up his hand and cupped my cheek. He just sorta left it there in silence, then slowly grazed his fingers down my face as he pulled away.

8. The Spy

This was in the early '00s when I agreed to go on a date with a persistent coworker at a well-known store. He showed up at my house with a giant bouquet of flowers.

My parents invited him in to check him out and spoke with him for a bit. His story didn’t really work (“As a volunteer firefighter, I flew to help on 9/11 from Syracuse,” no flights obviously happened).

  But then, all of a sudden, he pulled out a disposable camera. When my mom asked him what it was for, he said, “chs135 is going on vacation for a week, and I want a picture to remember her by,” like from a dark comedy, we heard the click of the shutter.

I faked being suddenly sick, and my mom told him I wasn’t feeling well. Luckily, it was only a summer job. That guy was a total creep.

9. Being Cautious

He insisted he drive me to the movie theatre, which meant he would have to drive to my town 45 minutes away, back to his town to go to the theatre, and then back to my town to drop me off.

I said I didn’t understand why I wouldn’t just drive to the theatre myself to save the multiple trips. When I adamantly refused a ride, he still drove to my town, bought me a coffee, and still insisted I go in his car.

I still said no, citing that it would be dangerous for me to get into a vehicle with someone I didn’t know, and I drove myself to the theatre, where a friend met me for the movie.  

The guy still came with us to the movie and even paid for me despite me telling him I didn’t think it was a good idea. Never spoke to him again and blocked his number.

10. Total Weird

That he used to attack animals on his parent's farm to get out of his anger, this was 17 years ago, and I’ll never forget it. I was 18 and worked with this guy who was 22 at a big home loan company (the real estate boom of the early 2000s).

He asked me out for dinner after work one night. We were both working overtime that night until about 7 pm, and I was hungry and flattered, so I agreed. I had interacted with him enough at work to feel comfortable getting into his car.

Instead of driving to the restaurant, he said he wanted his mom to meet me and drove to his house on a farm/ranch 45 minutes away. (This is the Los Angeles area, so farms aren’t really common.)

We get there, and he introduces me to his mom, and she could care less. Then he gave me a tour of the place in the dark, like where they keep the pigs, the horses, etc.

I’m uncomfortable but also naive and 18, so I make some small talk: “It must have been so cool to grow up out here. I would have loved this as a kid!” He then says something like, “Ya, it was, but I had a problem.”

He folds his arms and doesn’t make eye contact. Being young and naive, I ask him what he means and reassure him that I am a safe person to talk to.

He then tells me he was a very angry teenager and used to attack the rats and mice on the farm. I say, “Oh, you mean like with a BB gun? That’s not a big deal.” He then tells me that he used to do more than that.

Then he says his “problem” progressed, and he “ended up” attacking the neighbor's cat. It got so bad that he attacked one of his own pigs, and his mom found the dead pig, and that’s when he knew he had to stop.

I was disturbed and wanted to leave, but at that moment, I did not realize that this was a troubled guy kind of behavior. I reassured him that “his problem wasn’t that weird” and that I wouldn’t tell anyone about what he had said.

I then told him I was really hungry and wanted to get back to my car at work before they closed the gates. (Big office building complex that shut its gates at 9 pm) So he drove us back and ate dinner at a popular burger near our work per my request.

Afterward, he took me to my car in the empty parking lot at work. As soon as he pulled up, I thanked him for dinner and quickly got out of his car and into my car before he could get out to say goodbye.

I never went out with him again. I tried my best to avoid him at work without being rude or pissing him off, and luckily, he got promoted to a different department in a different building a couple of weeks later.

11. Too Much Bragging

I once agreed to go on a date with one of my stepdad's clients, the son of a very rich luxury yacht builder in a country I won't name but which is known for extremely strict rules, particularly for women, some of which border on human rights violations.

He took me bowling, hired out the alleys on either side of us so we'd have some privacy, and told me about the lessons he'd had from someone who'd coached several world champions.

Afterward, he showed me pictures of his house (his bedroom alone was the size of a swimming pool) and his garden (a literal zoo with several monkey species as pets), and he started telling me a bit about his family.

He gave me a few little interesting details about each of them until he got onto his older brother's wife, and it was pretty clear she was the main subject of the conversation.

He told me his brother had studied here like him, met a nice English girl like me (btw I'm Irish, not English) and fallen in love. He'd taken her back to his home country and asked her to marry him, but only if she moved into his parent's house with him and lived by their strict rules.

She'd been reluctant at first but had eventually agreed, and then he says, "And her life there is so good that she never even wants to leave the house! She stays home, has babies, wears Prada, looks at the horses, and is so happy. Who would ever even want to leave a house like my family's house?"

Then he started asking me if I'd ever like to go there and meet his family. Alarm bells were going off at a rapid rate. When I got home and told my stepdad, he immediately took the guy off his client list, and we haven't seen him since.

12. Uncomfortable Question

I don’t know if it fits the “creepy” category, but my first online dating app match got me to sneak out of my house at midnight. He led us into the hills and, at one point, said, “What would you do if something attacked us?”

He just stared at me. Keep in mind that it was a cold October night (in 2019), and I was in a sweater and sandals and had no weapon to defend myself.

I can’t remember what I said, but he then laughed and started talking more about different scenarios, like running out of gas or getting attacked.

He then mentioned he had a katana in his trunk, and at that point, I really wanted to go home. Needless to say, I never went out with him again.

13. No Role Plays, Mister

Must share this one. It was actually after the first date, which went fine. He was a German guy who seemed shy in person. That’s what I thought.

But in the text, he was so intense, sending hearts and cheesy things all the time. The first weird thing was he said we should marry (we only had one date).

Then I would have a German passport and all the things I wanted because he had a very good job (he had) and kind of a wealthy family in south Germany.

I could only picture a red room of spicy things waiting there...but I didn't take it seriously anyway. The next thing was once, he asked me if I wanted to role-play.

I thought something was "normal," like cops and prisoners or whatever, but he told me to play Jew and Nazi... I blocked him and didn't see him anymore.

14. Personal Details Exposed

Met a girl online. We chat and set up a date. The date went fine. She was a little weird and a little sheltered, but she seemed nice.

There's not much chemistry, but I think that can take some time, so we give it another go and have a second date. Confirm I have no interest in a relationship with this girl on the second date so we can talk it out.

No hard feelings; let's be friends. Fast forward 1.5 years, I'm in my kitchen with some friends, getting ready to go out for my birthday dinner, when we hear a knock on the door.

I went to check, and no one was there, but there was a box with my name on it. There is a card and some gifts which would be nice if this girl had ever been to my house before. I had moved since our two dates and still have no idea how she found me.

15. Totally Obsessed

Girl in my dorm. She had a crush on my roommate. My roommate clearly didn’t like it and told her several times. Things got out of hand.

There were times when my roommate would come running back to the room yelling, “Lock the door, lock the door,” and moments later, the girl and her friend would try to barge in without permission.

What’s creepy is this next part. Apparently, one night, we accidentally left our room unlocked, and she decided to sneak in and play/rub our heads.

We didn’t wake up, but her roommate told us what she did a couple of days later. I haven’t seen her in about a year and am quite glad.

16. The Stalker

This younger girl, who I never even spoke to once in high school, had a crush on me. I got a note from her in my locker asking if I wanted to go out with her.

I had no idea how to return it to her, so I just wrote "no" and taped it to my locker. Then she started following me everywhere.

I tried to talk to her, but she kept walking away, pretending I wasn't talking to her. This goes on for about two years. Then, I was hanging out by myself one day around the neighborhood.

Lo and behold, she came walking up with three guys who wanted to kick my arse for some dumb unrelated stuff. She somehow found out about it and brought them to me.

After an embarrassing scene with me diffusing the situation with these angry gentlemen, they leave, and she finally sits down on the curb right next to me.

After some time, she starts flirting. I could only stare at her enormous bangs with a what the heck expression until she got embarrassed and left.

17. Unknown Admirer

I was bored once at a small, local festival and didn't want to be there, so I just got a drink and started walking around aimlessly when I noticed a firebreather.

The display was interesting, and she was pretty hot. When she was on break, she went to get a drink, and we started talking.

She seemed nice, and we had a laugh, but her break was up, and she resumed her display, so I left her to it and continued to wander around. 5 minutes later, security was called to her display.

Turns out some crazy girl whom I had never met before was following me around the festival and attacked the firebreather. She had claimed that we (me & crazy) were together and the firebreather was trying to break us up. That was a lie.

18. Married Woman

I was at a friend's birthday party for her dog (probably just an excuse to have people over and get drunk), and another friend, let’s call her M, is also there.

I had known M for a couple of years, but I only really ever see her a couple of times a year. She is very drunk and also very married. Her husband was also at the same party.

At one point in the night, she asked me if I had a girlfriend (I did not), if I was looking for a girlfriend, where I'd been looking for a girlfriend, etc. Then she said that I had been looking in all the wrong places and that if I wanted a good girl, I should "let her know."

During this conversation, she also kept trying to grab my hand, and so at one point, I made sure to always be holding a handful of mini-pretzels in both of my hands as a sort of excuse not to be able to hold hands. I can't hold hands if I am holding pretzels. Logic.

Then finally she says "I like you, iseldomwipe. I really like you," I'm like, "ok," This repeats for a while until she says, "Stop saying, 'ok.' It makes me feel like You think I'm kidding."

Then she kept following me around the room and tried to make me dance with her until I left. Her husband was pretty much always in the same room as us, no more than a few feet away, while this was all happening.

Thought I was crazy and imagining it all until another friend asked me on the same night as we were leaving: "Was M trying to hit on you?"

19. Status Reveal

I started going to a new doctor, and the receptionist was cute, so I flirted a bit. I mean, she’s too cute not to. I can’t help it!

In a waiting room, with other patients around. It was pretty innocent, and she reciprocated, and I figured it was all in good fun.

She escalated a bit, stuff like scheduling me for days she was there, calling me directly with reminders, etc. It’s starting to get suspicious.

Then she went into the records, got my cell number, and started texting me. She told me she wanted to meet up because she was not happy with her husband. They never make out anymore, etc. I noped out as fast as I could.

20. Clingy Student

During my last year of high school, I tutored students after school. One day, about halfway through the year, a new girl came in and sat next to me.

The first thing she said was something along the lines of “Do you wanna see my birth control?” She had an implant in her arm and showed me where it was.

She then felt my arm and told me I was hairy. She kept prying for personal info for the rest of the time, like who my friends were and where I lived.

I didn’t see her in tutoring after that, but one day during lunch, she came up to my table, where I was just chatting with my friends.

She inserted herself into the conversation before leaving randomly. I heard a few days later that she was suspended for either having substances or a knife in her backpack.

21. Nightmare Costume Party

I’ve had a couple of semi-stalkerish women who crept on me (which is weird because I’m not even good-looking), but my favorite “creepy girl” story was just a one-off funny moment.

When I was 22, I was hanging out with a couple of friends, just grilling and drinking, when one of them was suddenly like, “Do you guys wanna go to a costume party?”

Naturally, we were like, “Yes.” So we slapped together some quick costumes and hopped in an Uber. We showed up at this place, and it was less a “costume party” and more “6 people in an apartment wearing costumes,” but there was beer and a dog, so I was happy.

Anyway, we spent the evening playing board games with this group of people who seemed just as confused as we were. It was kinda odd.

The entire night, there’s this one girl who’s sitting next to me on the couch, but she hasn’t said a single word. Not one. I don’t think much of it. Some people are shy, it’s whatever.

But then, during a lull in the party, out of nowhere, she gets closer to me, looks me dead in the eye, and whispers, “I like blooooood.”

After that, she shifts back to her spot as if nothing happened. I turned to my friend and was just like, “We have to leave.” I still think about that night sometimes.

22. Woman Of Grudge

I had a friend who went absolutely crazy after her boyfriend broke up with her. Cutting, trying to force him to get back together.

She also did everything that ended up getting him kicked out of the group to isolate him, only for it to backfire and throw a fit. Etc. And that was only freshman year.

When he started dating another girl from our group senior year, she pretended to be cool...only to lie to the girl and try to convince her to break up with him because he was "definitely" texting her last night!

Oh, and also, he told her he hated her, that she was ugly, and that he actually loved her (crazy girl) and was only with the new girl to make her jealous. Many other things happened, too.

23. Worst Ex

It was my ex-girlfriend. I didn't realize she was creepy until I tried to end it and "failed." The first few times were my fault for being weak-willed, dumb, and all that stuff.

She offered we make out or something else or just treated me kindly for a while, and I thought, "Things can be okay again," and I resumed the relationship.

At some point, I actually learned my lesson, though, but it was at that point I realized she was actually my "crazy" ex. And it was sad.

The stories are many and crazy, but the long and short of it is that she told everyone we were together more than a year after I had really ended it.  

She enrolled at my university (giving up her dream of a different school she'd always wanted to go to and actually got into) just so she could cross paths with me.

She enrolled in a class I was teaching a lab for without me knowing. Showed up randomly at my parent’s house and told them we were still together (it worked the first time).

24. Female Stranger

The one and only time I used a dating app, I hooked up with this girl in Arkansas. Sleeping together only lasted until she begged me to come inside her, which is a hot thing to hear, I guess, but not from someone you just met.

I told her, "I'm not gonna do that," and she pushed me off and started crying, saying things like, "I just want a baby so someone will love me."

I felt kinda bad for her, so I talked her down, bought her some food, and she thanked me and went home. Nothing too weird about that. I just figured she was going through a rough time. It happens.

About a week later, I came home from work, and my front door was open. It looked like someone tried to yank it off the hinges. Then I noticed her car parked across the street.

This little psycho had gotten too drunk, drove to my house, BROKE IN, and was sleeping in my bed. Cops were called, and she panicked and left. I don’t know what happened to her after that, but I sure as heck never used that app again.

WrongWayCharlie

25. Lonely Girl

It was when I was back in school. There was this girl who used to sit just behind my seat. She was good-looking but was very distant from everybody & talked with nobody.

Her social skills were zero. But I tried talking to her. We get to know each other. I thought we became friends. We started sitting in the same seat.

One day, she said - "I know why you're friends with me." I said - "Why?". She says - "You want this, right?" Then she pulls her skirt slightly up & undies down.

We were 16, by the way. Then she giggles. I looked at her exhibition & then back into her eyes. I could see a psychotic smile on her face. She was the creepiest girl I've ever met in my entire life.

Icy_Obsession

26. Room Sky

Started dating a girl who lived about an hour away, so we only saw each other occasionally. One day, when I’m out, she decides to drive to my home and gets my roommate to let her into my room.

Then, she proceeded to stick those glow-in-the-dark stars literally all over my room and then left. I came home after being at a party where there was liquor.

Well, my roommate was asleep, so he didn’t tell me anything. I lay in bed, still drunk and a wreck, and clicked off the lights.  

I proceeded to think I was losing my mind because I couldn’t tell if I was inside or outside looking at the night sky. My roommate didn’t tell me until the next day.

27. Relatives Combo

I once dated a girl who was close to her cousin. I slowly learned everyone hated her cousin, and they were afraid to tell me to avoid the girl/cousin combo because it was no good.

Kept dating the girl, and her cousin started to be around more. It was fine at first, and then the lying started. Never in my life had I met a compulsive liar before, so I couldn't believe that no one was saying anything when this girl blatantly lied.

Crazy lies. Insane lies that made no sense. Non-stop, constant, really weird lies. "I once fell out of an airplane" level lies.

It got worse. I told the girl that I didn't want to be around her cousin anymore. The girl understands. Her cousin got my number and then called/texted me, saying she just drove by my friend’s house, and the girl was there.

She's cheating on me, cousin says. Her cousin lives 45 minutes away and would never be driving near my friend's house. Heck nah.

I told her never to communicate with me again. She says, "But I thought we were friends?" Block number. Dump girl. Run away.

28. Queen Of Threats

I dated this girl one summer during high school. She seemed nice enough, and we kind of hit it off at a church function. Until my summer schedule started, I went from working evenings at a local fast-food joint to working overnights.

I guess she couldn’t cope. She would call my house and accuse my mom of lying to me and demand she tell her where I really was.

She’d drive by all night and would even wait for me to get home at 6 or 7 (still in my work uniform) and accuse me of cheating.

Eventually, she’d start calling me every hour or so at work, which, as you can imagine, my managers just loved. She did not take the breakup well.

She threatened to attack me, and she threatened to do the same to my dog. When I started dating a coworker towards the end of the summer, she threatened her, too.

29. The Observer

My first legitimate relationship was with a super clingy girl who knew way too much about my house after only being there three times.

My parents were out of town, and we were sitting in the hot tub when the power died. She said, “Oh, you probably need to just reset the breaker. It’s in the laundry room on the left wall labeled hot tub.”

I’m like, “How the fudge do you know that?” She got nervous and was like, “Uhhh, I dunno.” I broke up with her after she told her family that we were spending the rest of our lives together.

And she kept saying things like, “When we get a house...” “When we have kids...” “When we get a dog....” I met her on a dating app and only knew her for three months, but she started showing all the creepy symptoms after one month.

30. Sneaky One

I'm a girl, but I ended up in the same college as my ex's new girlfriend when I was doing my second degree (she is about four years younger than me).

So, I start getting the very strange sensation of being watched in lectures. These are big lecture halls with 300+ people.

I know she's in my course, and I heard she's a bit odd. For a visual, she was elfish-looking, with wild, unbrushed hair, and she generally looked extremely unkempt.

She'd come in with yesterday's makeup, etc. So I began to see her EVERYWHERE in college. This is a big campus, and I'm not sure if it's just a coincidence all this time, but I began to freak out.

I got crippling anxiety as she was always there, and she and her friend would make a point to take photos of me during lectures and point and whatnot.

I ignored her all the time. I never interacted with her. I just went around doing my own thing. It was so creepy that she was so into keeping tabs and taking pics of me, and then she made a picture of me and my friend her profile pic on FB. She is a weird girl, and I hope she got the help she needed

31. Dirty Plays

Started working at an engineering firm doing document control. The department had 12 women and one other guy besides myself. The lady who trained me was 2nd in command.

It started off with some questionable compliments about my build, and she would always arrange for me to work directly with her when nobody else ever helped her.

There was no single thing I could point to, but it was obvious she had a thing for me. Worked out to my advantage, so I never was mean about it while never encouraging. I tried to bring up her husband when she would start to send the message "not interested."

This goes on for nine months, then we move buildings. She called me into her office to say she needed me to come to the old building to pick up some heavy boxes.

We get there. It's two medium boxes, maybe 20 lbs each. On the car ride back, she's talking about how her marriage isn't working for her, and she's planning to leave her husband.

Dude is a Marine and state trooper. She says, let's stop and take a break before going back, and takes us to a park on the river.

All subtlety is gone when she parks and says, "I want to do dirty things with you right now." She wasn't very attractive and had crazy eyes, so I declined.

Plus, there was an engineer there I had some strong chemistry with that was 10/10 wife material. I didn't want to jeopardize the possibility of dating.

32. Like A Dog

I went to a house party in undergrad with a friend. We were in our other friend's bedroom so we could look through his collection of music downloaded from Napster (this is 2003).

I was sitting at the computer cycling through the music when a girl I didn't know who was also at the party started dancing next to me so I stood up and danced with her as well.

After about 30 seconds of that, then she pushed me onto the bed and jumped on top of me. I was pretty drunk, and I felt like I couldn't do anything.

It felt like she was licking my face. I don't know how much time went by (probably only 15-20 seconds max). Eventually, the friend I came with returned, pulled her off me and took me home.

The next day, I found out she was a sorority sister with a friend of mine, which boggled her mind that this girl would do this.

33. The Main Character

I’m a girl, and this situation happened with a crazy girl my boyfriend used to date. My bf and I met through an online dating app and became exclusive after only a few dates.

I asked about his past relationships, and he said he recently dated someone casually who had the same name as me (a very common name in the US). He said it wasn’t serious and she was never his girlfriend, but apparently, she didn’t feel the same way.

We ended up moving in together eight months later. He moved into the apartment where I was already living alone for a full year. Guess who taught at the studio right across the street from my building? Yes, ex with the same name.

Randomly, I got a Facebook message from this person, telling me to stop stalking her and tell my bf to stop parking outside her work.

The message also said to stop purposefully walking my dog outside with my boyfriend, holding hands on a specific day when she was always working.

I showed it to my bf immediately and didn’t respond. She had messaged him too, but he didn’t see it. He was basically saying the same thing except crazier. She waited ten minutes for him to respond before messaging me, even though I’ve never talked to her.

She then said her dog died, and her dad died, and all these things to get him to feel bad for her after SHE accused US of stalking HER.

My car ended up with some deliberate scratches that I can never confirm were hers, but both of our cars were always parked outside our apartment and in view of her work. I still wonder if it was her. We moved buildings shortly after but stayed in the same complex.

34. Constantly Waiting

Years ago, I had a roommate whose fiancé abruptly ended their relationship. A few days after they ended it, she would show up at my work (I worked retail at the time) looking for me.

At the time, I wasn’t sure why she kept trying to talk to me, but I never really liked her, and she really messed my roommate up by ending the relationship with no explanation.

I would constantly hide in the stockroom to avoid her, so she began waiting by my car for my shifts to end. I would usually wait it out until someone working would give me the all-clear.  

But after a few days, I lost my patience and just decided to walk to my car. She was there. She confessed her love for me. I said no thanks, got in my car, and left.

We randomly run into each other around town and always make awkward eye contact before I realize it’s her. She was weird.

35. Childhood Crush

Oh boy. It all started in elementary school when this weird girl took a liking to me. She'd follow me around at recess, and if I wanted a recess to myself, I'd have to outrun her and lose her. Kept me in shape.

She was a year or two ahead of me, and as soon as she was able, she'd be a teacher's assistant in my class when she could. She'd be watching me from across the room and would pass notes to me asking if I'd marry her when I grew up.

She also came to my Mom's house a few times and left notes on the windowsill. Fast forward to high school, where we landed in the same film arts class. I was usually a cameraman, but she'd be there when I was in the editing room.

She had a face like the Man in the Moon: round, blank, and gave you the sense that you might look out your window one night and see it looking back in at you.

She'd be ogling me from across the room, inching her chair closer and closer, and complimenting me on virtually everything. She likes my clothes, jewelry, and hair, and eventually, she wants to kiss me and date me.

I was an awkward teenager, so I just dropped lots of hints that I wasn't interested, which she either didn't understand or just didn't give a darn.

One day, she basically cornered me in a doorway and said she was going to kiss me. I was in such a position that I could only either take the kiss or physically push her away from me. I didn't know how to react then, so I did a combination of both.

Another day, I was biking to school, and she was sitting at the base of a telephone pole at the end of my street, looking at me as if she was expecting me to come that way.

I thought it through and realized that she must've followed me home from school, then got up at dawn, returned to my street, and waited to see when I'd be leaving. This happened a few times, and I didn't tell anyone because I thought my family would make fun of me.

We've both been out of school for a few years, and she hasn't given up yet. She's found me on Facebook, messaged me a few times, saying she's tired of being single, and asked if I would ever date her. I've rejected her as clearly as I can, and I hope it sticks.

36. Lover Girl

Oh, my first blind date was set up by friends. I was 22 (I can't remember if I had just graduated or was about to - so either late 21 or just turned 22).

I pick her up because she doesn't drive. Find out she's a sophomore in college, my alma mater, cool. I was surprised I'd never seen her before because it wasn't a large uni, and she was cute as heck.

Fast forward maybe two or three hours, we just wrapped up dinner and a stroll in a park downtown. Everything went well, and we were walking to a comedy club.

She is saying things really weird now, like how happy she is that she met someone like me, about the places she wants to honeymoon at, how many kids we'd have, and how beautiful they'd be if we were married.

Now, she was a looker and really fun to hang out with, but who talks about these kinds of things after knowing a person for several hours? Red flags.

Cut later into the evening, and we're walking to the house I shared with a few roommates - our place was maybe a block from the comedy club (college neighborhood).

She stopped me, and we made out for a bit. She is for real acting and talking like we have been long-time lovers now. I make the decision to suggest I take her home. It's getting late, but she insists on coming home with me.

I pocket-dial my friend. "Oh, I'm getting a call." I play it like he needs me for something. He's all high, giggling and saying stupid crap as he realizes what must be happening.

Now, it turned for the worse in a big way. She gets angry, accusing me of being gay and how she never should have come on this date, etc. So she storms off. Whew.

Fifteen minutes later, I am in my house laughing and chatting with my roommates about my date, and the back door opens. Guess who walks in. "I knew it!" she screams. Queue me trying to calm down this crazy girl while my friends are laughing and taking pictures. Eventually, her friend comes and gets her.

37. New Psycho Unlocked

She was the first to approach me when she found out I was a journalism student back then, and having no friends yet, I befriended her.

As the semester went on, she got more and more annoying, even going as far as getting another sim card and making up this dude named Jordan just so we could talk about “guy things.”

When I had had enough, I decided to call this “Jordan” in the middle of class, and her phone rang. I went all “Hi Jordan” on her, and she ran out of the room.

She even invited herself when I went out to the movies with my buds, buying herself a ticket and crap. When we said we’d be going drinking in a different city (a 45-minute drive away), she said she couldn’t come, which was reassuring.

When we got to our spot, she wasn’t there but still managed to blow my phone up with texts and crap saying, “I miss you,” “I love you,” “You’re the best,” and I was like this has got to stop.

The following week at school, before she could even say anything, I immediately told her, “You do know I’m gay, right?” (I really am). And she started crying in front of so many people like, what was wrong with her?

Her nuances dwindled little by little towards the end of the semester. I moved from Journalism to hospitality the following term and haven’t heard from her since.

Until like 2016 when she found out I broke up with my then bf. She started telling people how I cheated on my ex with her like, gurl, srsly. She finally stopped after one of my intensely witchy lady friends “talked” to her. Haven’t heard from her since

38. Sentimental Value

My friend in high school had a doozy of one. She was in the cosmetology program at school and was honestly decent with hair.

He and her had been talking somewhat, nothing too serious, and he offered to let her cut his hair as practice on guys (as she didn't often get practice cutting guys' hair).

When he went over there a few weeks later to drop off a calculator he had borrowed to take the SAT that weekend, she led him upstairs.

 On her wall, she had nailed pictures of him that she had taken without him knowing at school - as well as pictures she had taken off of his Facebook, and framed a picture she had taken of her and him together.  

And apparently, he says, on that wall was a baggie of his hair that she had saved from when she cut and nailed it to the wall.

She'd later go on and basically declare her love for him for years in texts, even after high school. He and I kinda fell out, but I think she got over it, as she's engaged to someone else now.

39. Meowy Girl

I met a girl on a dating app. I invited her over to my place for a good ol' trip to Bone City. When she showed up, she began inserting "meows" into every other sentence.

Not replacing words with "meow" but just meowing randomly in the beginning, middle, or end of sentences. I asked her what she was doing, and she claimed it was just a thing she does unconsciously.

Anyway, so she keeps meowing and saying just random crap, mixed in some "Let me know if you can't handle me. Most guys can't." It was only about 15 minutes in, and I just needed to get away, so I mentioned having to take my dog out. "Oh, I'll come with you!"

No sooner than we open the door to let my pup out does she rock me with this horrifyingly awkward question, "So my feet smell pretty bad? What is something you're insecure about?"

I'm dumbstruck. I started stuttering half sentences, "What the fu-Why would-Just wow..." She comes back with, "Well, don't make me feel bad," and again, I'm just in complete bewilderment about how to respond to this person.

"I didn't volunteer that information. You did. I absolutely don't want to have this conversation with you." Finally, she says rather proudly, "I knew you couldn't handle me!" And I immediately replied, "You're right, you need to leave."

She actually stopped and looked at me with tears in her eyes, "I was joking..." And I looked at her and said, "I am not. You should go."

Well, she meows sadly and then tells me she left her purse inside. An awkward elevator ride up to my place, and I unlock the door and hand her her purse.

She kinda hesitates in the doorway and yells, "You need to meow give me another chance!!" And since I had an entire elevator ride to prepare for whatever she was going to say before she left, because c'mon, of course, she'd try something.

I replied with, "You need to leave right meow," closed the door in her face, and called building security. I guess it wasn't needed, but after the last 20 minutes, I wasn't leaving anything up to chance.

40. Great Pretender

I was at a tennis meet during my freshman year of high school, and I had just finished playing for the day, so I went ahead and took a nap on the grass.

A girl that I barely knew who was also on our tennis team had her friend stage a picture to where it looked like we were making out on the grass while I was ASLEEP.

She uploaded the picture to social media saying, "I love my new boyfriend so much heart emojis," and I got so much crap for it.  

She also pretended we were dating after that and would come up to me in the hallways saying, "How are you boyfriend!!" My freshman year was bad.

41. Unfortunate Guy

Not me, but my best friend has a bunch of creepy girl stories. One of the weirdest was this one girl in high school. She would join all the clubs he would.

Took pictures of his class schedule so she always knew where he was. Constantly followed him around school, telling him that she was the president of his fan club.

One day during parent-teacher night, this man approached him as if he knew him like, "It's so nice to finally meet you! My daughter has nothing but good things to say!"

"I'm so glad she has found someone she connects with," and my friend is like, 'Uhhh, who are you?' Then the father showed a picture of my friend and said, "This is you, isn't it?"

Apparently, the creepy girl told her parents that they had been dating for a while. And she showed her dad pictures of him.

The thing is, he doesn't have a Facebook or any social media but somehow has pictures of him and his family. To this day, no one knows where she got those pictures from.

42. The Red Flag

This one girl kept hitting me up on social media (AOL instant messenger for you young pups) during my first year of college.

I thought it cool since I used to be awkward around girls with the slightest interest and usually scared them away. She was laying it on heavy about how she had some booze and nobody to drink it with.

I had school the next day and hadn't really jumped into drinking yet (I was raised pretty conservatively), so I was just like, "Oh, that sucks. Hopefully, you find someone to share with."

Went to school the next day and mentioned her name to a buddy of mine. He told me, "Oh yeah, she's creepy and clingy AF and has been with pretty much every guy who falls for it."

I noped out and blocked her, only to get a new message request immediately after from a new screen name, and it's her again, claiming to be a different person. This happened five times, straight-up weirdo.

43. Attention Seeker

At a friend's funeral, his sister started coming to me. I ended up with her shortly after and slept with her twice. She started doing crazy crap, like messaging me that she just did something weird.

Then, one day, she sent me a pic of a positive pregnancy test. I can’t help but freak out inside and take it all in over the next few days.

Then she tells me she's extremely sick and in the hospital, apparently puking. She proceeded to tell me she had a miscarriage.

I'm ecstatic inside, but don't let her know. I act apologetic. THEN she throws a twist..there were actually twins, and only one got aborted.

I told her to back off and never talk to me again. And it's been a couple of years; she has never had a kid. She just constantly sought reactions and sympathy. Crazy lady.

44. Surprising Presence

I'd known this girl for years, and we lost contact when she moved overseas. We were best friends prior to her moving away, but the distance helped me realize that she was delusional, controlling, and possibly a little crazy.

So when she called my phone years later, I had a friend pick up and say that it wasn't my number. So anyway she didn't have my address but had been to my house once.

She went onto Google Street View and clicked her way around till she found my house and turned up at my door. My grandma let her in.

I was running a high fever and was asleep on my couch, and when I woke up, she was sitting next to me and staring at me. Grandma said she'd been there for half an hour.

I tried being her friend again, mostly because I was worried she might burn my house down if I didn't. Didn't really work out, and I tried to cut her off again, but she appeared at both my workplace and my house, trying to confront me. I still think about it a lot that she’ll just suddenly show up.

45. The Female Leech

It's not creepy so much as just.... odd. Met a chick in one of my classes in college. She was nice to talk to. We sat next to each other for a couple of classes and helped each other out.

Finally, I invited her back to my apartment to maybe try to do the homework early for once. Note, I don't think I was doing or saying ANYTHING flirty, and in college, it was difficult to have a conversation with me.

Without mentioning my girlfriend (she's awesome; we're married now), so I felt like I was pretty clear that this was going to be, at most, a platonic friendship.

She came over, we did the work, and introduced her to some of my fraternity brothers. We might have watched something on TV, I don't really remember. She left. Totally normal.

So she started inviting herself over after that class. And not even to do homework. Just kind of like, following me back. We'd be talking, and she'd get on the shuttle with me, then she would get off the shuttle with me, then she would come in with me and just like, plant herself in my room.

I would leave and come back (some nights, I had to help make dinner; some nights, I would have a soccer game or something), and she would still be there.

Lots of times, she would be hanging in my room. I'd be like, "I have to call my girlfriend."... long pause......" I guess I'll go do it in the other room."

It got to the point where I was getting her to come with me to other people's rooms (my fraternity occupied a 6-apartment building) and seeing if I could get them to engage her enough for me to leave her there.

She eventually found another one of my brothers to latch onto (Which led to the 'blue glove' incident), and I was finally free.
