There is a guy on our team who stalks the boys AND girls on our team... he basically knows where almost all of us live, where our houses are, etc. He tries to find out random pieces of information, and when we're all talking in a group, he randomly comes up to the group and sticks his head in to listen to our conversation. When some of us have tried telling him about it, he denies it and says "Oh I'm not creepy". What can we do? Also, he does this during school too, not just during the season. |

i knew a dude like this in college named creepy josh. there's nothing you can do except avoid him. as long as he doesn't show an interest in firearms you'll be fine. |

Have him carry a packet of tic tacs. You'll always know when the sidler is coming. Or...follow me here...allow him to keep on being a creepy stalker and make him pay. Now, you have to get a good number of people to go along with it, but you can probably bring in team mates if they all think he's a creep, too. You've got to make up some kind of juicy situation. Something you and your friends are "invovled in" that would likely get you in big trouble or killed. You're not actually going to DO anything bad, but you're going to talk about it and make plans for it while creep is in ear shot. Keep spinning the yarn as long as you can such that he's horrified by what's going on and he'll either 1) stay away from you or 2) go taddle on you about it. If 1), you win. If 2), you get to reveal that in fact none of it was true and expose him as being a creepy stalker...and you win. |

I would succumb to him. |

if he is actually dangerous, then stay away or get an authority, but he may just be lonely. You could try letting him join the group, or atleast be more sympathetic, joke around with him sometimes, make him feel like he's a part of the team |

I'm also confused... A friend knows where his friends live and knows 'random pieces of information' about his friends. He also will just join into a conversation because he's comfortable with the people and feels like it is appropriate. There's something in you post that's missing, or perhaps he's really ugly or weird and you exclude him when he just wants to be friends like any teammate would. |

Hate it break it to you, but that's not stalking. That's a kid being socially awkward and trying to connect with you. Be nicer to him. Post again when you catch him peeking in windows, breathing heavily into the phone and hanging up, and killing your pets. |

I may have been on your team. Mid 90's perhaps? Same experience with a guy named Josh. |

Our team had a technical term for people like this: Boopy. Every high school team I've talked to has a Boopy on the team; it's just part of the sport |

Nah, the thing about him is, he'll stalk people on the team who he hasn't actually established friendships with. Say you and a girl are on the same team. Does that mean you're friends? No. But he'll butt-in on the conversation anyway. He's being socially retarded, not socially needy
