According to my therapist I ask her the same question over and over again..."Do you think I am a stalker?" She pauses and says, "No, I don't think you are a stalker and why do you say that about yourself? You don't think very highly of yourself..." You see how they always turn it back to you?...Very frustrating.
The reason I ask this is because I seem to some how end up quoting lines from Fatal Attraction at some point during the dating/relationship process:

Dan Gallager:
You're so sad. You know that, Alex? Lonely and very sad.
Alex Forrest:
Don't you ever pity me, you smug bastard.
Dan Gallagher:
I'll pity you... I'll pity you. I'll pity you because you're sick.
Alex Forrest:
Why? Because I won't allow you treat me like some slut you can just bang a couple of times and throw in the garbage?
I've said the garbage part.
next:
Alex: Well, what am I supposed to do? You won't answer my calls, you change your number. I mean, I'm not gonna be ignored, Dan!
I've said in my head and never to any guy.: "I'm not gonna be ignored."
Thankfully, no one has ever changed numbers on me. My therapist likes to point out that she has had patients who have had a restraining order against them. I think I would have a breakdown if someone did that to me.
What I want to say,

and I have quoted this before:
You
can have the guts and the courtesy to tell a woman to her face that you
no longer want to see her.
Call me crazy, but I think you can make
a point of ending the relationship in a manner that does not include,
an email, a doorman, or a missing persons report. I think you can all
get over your fear of looking like the bad guy and actually have the
"uncomfortable break-up conversation" because here's what... avoiding
that is what makes you the bad guy!
