“The Next Message Sent Chills Down My Spine”: Men Share Their “Creepy Girl” Experiences

Once, an acquaintance added me on fb. When I clicked on her profile, it said she was in a relationship with someone. That someone was a fake account of me with my picture.

Was in high school, saw a really quiet girl who kept to herself. I felt bad because I had been that shy at one time. Struck up a conversation and she seemed odd but decent. Slowly over time she got weirder and weirder until she showed me her "art book" that was full of pictures of me, my name written all over the place, and pictures of my friends with their faces X'd out. She ended up stalking me relentlessly, calling my phone nonstop for weeks, she left tons of voicemails when I stopped answering that varied from apologizing to hating me for not answering. That was in 2001.

I ran into her again accidentally, at her work, in 2011. She immediately rushed over and started interrogating me. It was a fast food place, I left my food and never went back. Figured surely that was the end of it.

Nope, 2017 I signed up for jujitsu classes. After a few weeks I added some people from the class that I enjoyed to my facebook. Apparently one of them was her uncle, which caused her to almost immediately (within 10 minutes of him accepting the friend request) start messaging and cyberstalking me. Guess who suddenly became VERY interested in jujitsu? She did. I dropped out of the class. It's been 3 years since I've seen her, I'm pretty sure I'm due for another run in sometime in the next 2-4 years.

She befriended my younger sister just to get her to ask her to a sleepover.

I woke up in the middle of the night with her laying in bed with me.

I was 17 y/o

she was 13.

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, we had a laughed but her break was up and she resumed her display so I left her to it and continued to wander around. 5 mins 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 assaulted the firebreather, she had claimed that we (me & crazy) were together and firebreather was trying to break us up.

We were kids, early teens. I thought she was mad cute. She was telling me how once she pushed a boy she liked off the swings and he broke his arm. She was bragging about it. And she liked me now..

"Cool", I thought. "I will now proceed to never see you again".

My first legitimate relationship was with a super clingy girl that knew way too much about my house after only being there like 3 times. Parents were out of town and we were sitting in the hot tub when the power went out. 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 do you know that?”

She got nervous and was like “uhhh I dunno.”

I broke up with her after she started telling her family that we’re spending the rest of our lives together and saying stuff 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 3 months, but started showing all the creepy symptoms after 1.
1 month.

Girl in my dorm. She had a crush on my roommate. My roommate clearly didn’t like and told her several times. Things got out of hand and there were times where 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 come 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. We didn’t wake up but her roommate told us what she did a couple days later. I haven’t seen her in about a year and I’m quite glad.

This girl followed me home after a date and stayed outside my house and when I came out the next morning and acted like it was Sooooooooo funny we bumped into each other.......I told her I will call the cops and she ran.

I started going to a new doctor, the receptionist was cute, so I flirted a bit.

In a waiting room, with other patients around. It was pretty innocent, she reciprocated, 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.

Then she went into the records, got my cell number, and started texting me. Telling me she wants to meet up, she's not happy with her husband, etc.

I noped out as fast as I could.

Our high school basketball team had a female student manager. When we had games at other schools, she would always come up with a reason to need to get something in the locker room when we were showering. But we were so used to her, I guess no one said anything?

Coaches probably should have stepped in there.

I met a girl online. She seemed normal enough so we ended up going out for a drink. I found out that night that she actually lived an hour away in a rural town, but whatever.

Well, we went out, had a drink, then went to go play pool. We drove over in my vehicle and when we got to the pool hall she checked her phone and saw she had a text from her ex bf. She proceeded to cry incessantly. I was trapped...I didn't know what to do...so I offered to take her back to her car. She said she wasn't sure if she could drive and she asked if I would take her home. I declined saying it wouldn't be a good idea because:

A) Her car was like a mile away.
B) She lived an hour away.
C) How in the hell did she plan to get to her car the next day.

So she agrees for the night to end all the while apologizing vigorously. The next day she texts me, apologizes, and offers to buy me lunch. She seemed alright when we were getting to know each other and I was bored so I figured what the hell and gave her another shot. She brought her kids to the lunch. When I saw them get out of the car I texted her and said that it wasn't OK for me to meet them. She became irate and said her sitter cancelled at the last minute. Even though the drive was an hour long from her house she didn't find it important to ask if it would be weird for her kids to come. It was at that point that I stated I was no longer interested.

Now for the creepy part.

Two days later she texted me but I didn't respond. She kept at it and kept asking if I wanted to go out the next weekend. After multiple texts I messaged her and said I wasn't interested and I had plans to take my friend out for her birthday. This resulted in even more irate messaging about how she "wasn't comfortable with me going out with other girls" and so forth. This resulted in her getting blocked. Turns out she took a "guess" on where we would go (since there is was only one nightclub in the town) and she showed up. I had to tell the birthday girl that I was leaving and to call me when she was ready to go. My night was ruined. Birthday girl got home okay in case you're wondering.

But wait, there's more...

A couple of weeks after that there was an ice storm and the power had gone out in the area. I ended up going over to a friend's house to hang out since they had a generator. We were playing cards and enjoying ourselves. Suddenly I get a text from a number I didn't recognize.

"Are you alright? I'm really worried" the message read.
"I'm fine, who is this?" I replied.
"It's Creepy Girl" she responded.
I ignored it and put my phone down. The next message sent chills down my spine.
"I'm really worried! I'm standing outside your house and all the lights are off! Are you sure you're ok?!?!?!"

She had never been to my house and I had never given her my last name.

My final message before blocking her involved not contacting me or I'd call the police.

It turns out she was a secretary or something for a police department and she ran my tag to find out where I lived, drove over an hour to my house in the midst of an ice storm, then got a new number all so she could "check up on me."

EDIT - RIP Inbox...to answer a few questions:
* This all happened 6 or 7 years ago, so not recently by any stretch.
* While I can't prove she ran my plate, I was using a google voice number attached to an email address which didn't have any of my personal information and was used for this VERY PURPOSE! Jokes on me I guess.
* I found out she worked at the police department through simple conversation online. We talked for about two weeks before meeting so I knew where she worked among other things.
* I didn't turn her in and I won't. She was a single mother and the father of the kids was in another state. Turning her in would have gotten her fired and/or arrested. While I realize what she did was illegal I didn't feel it would be right to put those little kids through that.
* I have no idea what she did with the kids during the ice storm. Her parents lived in the area so I assume they went there.
* I have no idea where she is but I'm pretty sure she's no longer at the police department.
* I'm fine and haven't heard from her since. I also don't live at that house so surprise visits probably aren't a thing.

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 was zero. But I tried talking to her. We get to know each other. I thought we became friends. We started sitting on the same seat. One day she said - "I know why you're friend with me". I said - "Why?". She says - "You want this right?". Then she pulls her skirt slightly up & panty 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.

Last year I dated this one girl for a few weeks. She was a nice girl, but there were some obvious red flags that slowly cropped up over the weeks. Overall it was because she had absolutely no life - no interests, no friends (and she had close to a tantrum when I tried introducing her to my friends), no hobbies besides reality television, still working at her high school fast food job despite being 32.

She was upset when we broke up, but overall didn't make a huge deal over it. She wanted to stay in contact, but we lost touch almost immediately, as I did not want to drag anything out.

Six months later I was back to dating and had made it official with a different girl. While out at a friends house one night, I decided to take a selfie of us and throw it on Facebook.

In the morning my girlfriend alerted me to a nasty comment left by the previous girl. It was middle school level stuff - she outright insulted my girlfriend saying literally "Ew, she has big teeth", adding that she thought she was going to have second chance with me.

Keep in mind, we had absolutely zero communication in those six months. Never once did I give her the impression I was interested in seeing her again. I was super pissed at her for the teeth comment, and my gf was a little upset, but at least we've gotten a lot of laughs out of it since then.

Glad I dodged that bullet. I'm actually sparing you guys a ton of details. There were lots of tiny things she did while we were dating that made it me realize how much of a loser she really was, but I don't have time to type up an entire essay on it.

Dated a girl who was close with 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 cousin started 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 girl i don't want to be around cousin anymore. girl understands. cousin gets my number and then calls/texts me saying she just drove by my friends house and girl was there. she's cheating on me, cousin says. cousin lives 45 minutes away and would never be driving near my friend's house. i tell her never communicate with me again. she says "but i thought we were friends"

block number. dump girl. run away.

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 of how to get it back to her, so I just wrote "no" and taped it to my locker. Then she started following me everywhere. I would try to talk to her, but she would just keep walking away, pretending I wasn't talking to her. This goes on for like two years. Then I was hanging out by myself one day around the neighborhood, and she comes walking up with three guys who wanted to beat me for some dumb unrelated stuff. She somehow found out about it and brought them to me. After an embarassing scene with me diffusing the situation with these angry gentlemen, they leave, and she finally sits down on the curb right next to me and starts flirting. All I could do was just stare at her enormous bangs with a WTH expression until she got embarassed and left.

I was at a friend's birthday party for her dog (probably was just an excuse to have people over and get drunk) and another friend, lets 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 asks me if I have a girlfriend (I did not), if I am looking for a girlfriend, where i'd been looking for a girlfriend, etc. Then she says 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 to not 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 lying"

Then she keeps following me around the room and keeps trying to make me dance with her until I leave.

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?".

I had a friend who went absolutely crazy after her boyfriend broke up with her. Cutting, trying to force him to get back together, getting him kicked out of the group to isolate him only for it to back fire 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 and convince her to break up with him because he was "definitely" texting her last night! Oh and also ge told her he hated her, and 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.

I’ve had a couple semi-stalkerish women who creeped 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 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 to 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 spend the evening playing board games with this group of people who seem just as confused as we are. 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.” Then shifts back to her spot like nothing happened.

I turned to my friend and was just like “we have to leave.”

I still think about that night sometimes.

Met a girl online, we chat and setup a date. Date goes fine she's a little weird, a little sheltered but seems nice. Not much chemistry but I think that can take some time so we give it another go have a second date. Confirm I have no interest in a relationship with this girl on the second date so we 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 go check and no one is there but there is 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.

Im 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 4 years younger than me). so i start getting the very strange sensation of being watched in lectures, these are big lecture halls 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 unkept, she'd come in with yesterdays make up etc. so i begin to see her EVERYWHERE in college, this is a big campus and im not sure if its just a coincidence all this time, but i begin to freak out out, i get crippling anxiety as she was always there, her 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. weird girl i hope she got the help she needed.
