Okay so here's the thing. This monday i was waiting for the bus and like this guy came around his 40s? and like at first i didnt pay much attention to him. but i kept feeling his stares they were like BURNING me. and i looked up and that guy was staring at me smiling. and you know when you feel awkward? you smile back to be polite. so i smiled back. and like he just came over and asked my name i gave him a 'o.O' look and said why. and he left. then came back and went 'it's cold today eh?' and im just like thinking okay .____. so i just nodded. and then he came over and SAT NEXT TO ME. at first i was just like okay he's as old as my dad he must be tired. but he kept sitting close to me. and i felt uncomfortable. and he asked my name again and i know this part is gonna make me sound like an idiot. but when adults ask me questions i feel pressured and just answer directly. so i told him. and he like shut up for a minute or two. then he asked my age and im just like 15 and like he started sorta exaggerating and saying 15? 15?! and before he was talking REALLY LOW. and like all the while i thought he was just excited because he has a 15 year old daughter too or something. (i hate accusing people, scared i might accuse them wrongly.) so i didnt pay no mind to it. and then like i turned my head the opposite direction from him. and he like kept staring at me. and i moved down the bench some more since he was seriously creeping me out by that time. and he like followed me while i scooted down . then later on he kept mumbling something and i thout he asked when the bus was coming but wasnt sure so im like 'what? ' and he smiled at me and mumbled something again and kept looking at me and looking at another place. (you know the eye that says come with me somewhere). but i thout i was just being paranoid. so i was like 'huh?' and then i finally heard him. he said 'go play with me'. at that moment i gave him the WTF look and pretty much fast walked down the other side of where the bus was. and took out my cellphone and called my friend. and like that freaken pedo FOLLOWED ME AGAIN! but when he saw me talking on the phone i guess he thought i was calling the police or something since i kept eyeing him and giving him a nasty look. and he pretty much ran off. and like after that day i stayed away from that place but i couldnt really sleep. and i feel really paranoid sitting on the bus with a guy besides me on the bus now. but that wasnt even it. the real problem is ..

Theres this guy in one of my classes at school, he use to have a crush on me and he reminds me so much of the pedophile. >O< its been 2 days and whenever i look at him i get all tingly. he's a pretty nice guy but his eyes,his skin tone, his smile they remind me so much of the pedophile. it was like looking at the pedophile's image as a child. T__T i feel extremley bad because it's not his fault. and i'm trying my best to at least be able to look at him when he tries to talk to me. but i cant. like today he asked me a question about where my friend went and i didnt even turn around and shrugged (meaning i dont know) when in actuality i knew she was in the bathroom but i just didnt want to say anything to him. and like after school my guy friend kept looking at me and i started feeling really nervous and sufforcated . and now i'm just really confused as to what to do >O< cause he's a good friend and i really dont want to be a pinkberry and ignore him for life because he resembles the pedophile T__T help?

You're getting paranoid. From my point of view, the situation that happened to you earlier with the stranger left you in a sense of insecurity around guys, which is kind of obvious since you said so yourself. But because of that insecurity, you're mind plays tricks on you to make you think that every guy in a way kind of resembles the stranger.

Well, since you are 15, getting stalked by a 40+ year old stranger esp. a man isn't normal.. I would avoid him at all costs. (call police and complain of harassment if it happens again!).

If your crush reminds you of the paedo, then don't see the paedo anymore. Hopefully that will erase that image/resemblance away from your mind.

you should do your best to avoid bumping into him.

Hehe.. my friend had that experience before. ^^;; She bluntly told the old guy "Sorry but I don't give out my information to strangers" so he just shut up. I think if you try not to think about it too much and just continue with your normal life you'll eventually get over it. It'll take a short period of time(or longer, depending on you) until you're over that experience and not see him that way. Try not going alone again though, or distance yourself from people that are suspicious, and ALWAYS have a phone visible in your hand.

my guy friend isnt my crush he's just a friend.
and i only saw the pedophile once but i'm sorta in my paranoid state ;o

yeahhh i'd be freaked out too. i think u'll get over it eventually tho.

You should have called the cops on that. Who knows, he may have sexually molested some kid and got away with it.

Did you catch his name? Cause you can look up registered sex offenders online. =o

Don't ask how i know this.

LOL, sorry but that sounded funny xDD but hmm yeah if i were you i'd be freaked out too! you're just really scared of guys like right now.. i think you'll be over it though.. just takes time

NO WAAAY! The same thing happened to me.
LOL and I thought I was the only paranoid one.
I used to have this stalker person.
And then I moved to another school.
And there's this guy at the new school who looks almost EXACTLY like him.
He kinda acts/sounds like him too...
He's really nice to me, which REALLY freaks me out.
And I keep trying to avoid him.
I know this guy's not a stalker or anything, but it just gives me the chills to look at him.
Uggh I feel so bad for giving him the cold shoulder - he's just trying to be nice.
Well, he must think I'm a total b--ch now. ><'
