Question of the Week suggestions
Each week we ask a question. The idea is to generate material that's:
* interesting to read, i.e. we won't get bored of reading the answers after about 10 of them
* not been asked on this site before
* fun to answer
What would you like to ask? (We've left this question open - so feel free to drop in ideas anytime.)

Stalked!
b3ta is full of sexy beasts, so I'm sure we've all got stories about being admired by someone we didn't quite have the same feelings for...mainly because they were bloody creepy!
I befriended a fellow at university last semester. We started chatting because he had trawled through nearly all the myspace profiles of girls who did journalism. I should have seen what was coming then. He's really a nice, funny, intelligent fellow, but unfortunately unleashed his stalker tendencies on me...
- I had a four hour break between classes on a Tuesday. Without fail, he would somehow find me and talk to me for the entire four hours, believing that I did not want to be lonely. Nice to have company, I suppose, had he not spent those four hours moaning about his girl troubles. Hint hint.
- Would always talk to me on msn, no matter what, even if he didn't really have anything to talk about. Actually, he'd end up moaning about his girl troubles. Hint hint.
- Volunteered to travel all the way to uni (he lives about 2 hours away) on his off day just so I would have someone to sit next to in a lecture. Er, what?
- I was rather depressed about something or other, when he came out with this gem, "I wish it was my job to make you happy." To which I responded with a "wtf?!"
- I am Asian. All of his female friends were Asian. And he had a crush on all of them.
- Tried to inadvertedly ask me out. "What would you say if i asked you out, HYPOTHETICALLY?" he said.
"Well, I'd say no thanks because I'm not attracted to you in the slightest," I replied.
This didn't stop him from then launching into how he'd had a crush on me since BEFORE we'd met... in fact, he found my myspace profile because he'd seen a girl at uni who he wanted to talk to, ie. ME. He'd also apparently talked about me nonstop to all his friends who had helpfully egged him on to talk to me and ask me out. Thanks guys.
Oh, did I mention that I was quite happy with a boyfriend for most of this, and he knew about it?
He got a girlfriend at some point. Hoorah, right? Wrong! He still kept talking about the glory days of when he used to have a crush on me. He even talked about it to his girlfriend!
I blocked his ass from msn, myspace, etc and haven't talked to him since June. Until I got a message from him on my birthday (in august):
"Seems to be your birthday. Happy 19th! You're a good friend to talk to, when you're in a good mood :P"
No, I'm a good friend to talk to when you don't piss me off for being creepy!
Apologies for length and his mental incapacity. Has anyone else been the object of some obsessive person's affections?
