I'm an attractive 18 year old girl and when I was walking back from a shopping trip a Indian man who looked about late twenties stopped me and said "you look nice today" his English was terrible but he tried to ask me out and asked me where I lived. I don't know what it was but he really freaked me out. He seemed like a weirdo.I tried to tell him I wasn't interested but wasn't sure if he understood. I put it out of my mind but then a few days later while in town I saw him again and rather then him just give me a sideways glance he absolutely stared me. Three more times I saw him and both times he absolutely stared me.The last time I saw him was today and I tried not to catch his eye but he stopped me again and this time I was terrified because I was in a secluded area.He asked for my number,did I like him,once again where I lived.I pretended I had a phone call on my cell phone and walked away.
I'm scared to go out alone now. Where I live is a quiet place and I

First you can shake your head no at him that is universal all people use this as a sign language for "NO" If he still won't leave you alone then & you are truly afraid the call the police.

Yo, The guy is an idiot. He thinks you're hot and he is being weird about it. Stay away from the guy.... you're not being paranoid about that. BUT you're being paranoid about not going outside anymore. Next time you see him, give him a dirty look since he probably doesn't know english. he will probably keep at it. Best to scare him with a guy friend or older brother. I'm from Italy and it's what the girls have to do here sometimes... also I have had experience with that sort of indian person, And they're annoying as hell. It's also a cultural difference with how the guy is looking at it. But he is in america and dealing with an american girl so he has to wise up and realize that.
If the guys gets physical with you or touches you in any way that you do not like...poke the guy in the eye and run or kick him in the balls really hard and then the poke or use any kind of weapon..(purse, keys, etc) i really only suggest that if you feel your safety is in jeapordy though. If the guy says hello don't go Chuck Norris on him hahaha Anyways, the guys an idiot and you should not be afraid to go outside around town.

No your not... get a dog, like a german shepard, He's one step away from being a stalker, and is using the old ploy of pretending not to know English to gain sympathy and trust. When you see this guy, cut him a wide path and keep a lot of distance or space between you and him...also let police know that you think your being stalked but are not sure... If he didn't know English then HOW did he get in the Country. your at an age where trusting to many guys is not generaly a good idea, unless you really know them....

If he approaches you again, I think you should be firm and let him know that you're not interested and never will be. Maybe tell him you've got a boyfriend.
He could be perfectly innocent but just has a funny way of trying to chat up women. Once he gets the firm message you're not interested, he'll probably back off.
If he persists, you should go to the police station and point him out to them.

This man is CLEARLY attracted to you, and no you should not be paranoid.
When you go out around that area, always go with a friend or family member incase something dodgy does happen which it most likely will not, but just for support. This man needs to know that you're not intrested, I think that you should continue with what your doing by ignoring him, don't let him ruin your life.
Talk to about this to people your close to, they will give you support. Hope this helped =)

We have a small voice in our head for a reason. Next time you see him, take his photo with your cell phone, and mail it to yourself. If he approaches you, tell him you're not interested, don't give him a fake number, that only encourages him. If he won't leave, scream, blow a whistle, then call the police.
Listen to your little voice. Keep in mind other societies and cultures don't treat women the same way, so don't give him any false hope. Be strong.

Get yourself a big can of mace/pepper spray, or a tazer off the internet!
I don't wish to generalise here but I know a lot of Indian men and I know that muslim doctrine states something about non-muslim women being fair game and therefore a man can do as he pleases with her without it being a sin.

Be flattered by the attention. At least the guy is trying to be friendly and may even be trying to make friends. Not everyone out there is amurderer, rapist or terrorist. Maybe he has just moved to the area and is trying to get to know people. Did that thought ever cross your mind. Maybe the reason he was staring was because he thought you were being extremely rude as you hadn't spoke to him, despite the fact he had spoke to you?
