Nice Stalking to You

I have dealt with many mentally derranged human beings in my life, and a few have factored into my love live. A a couple of weeks ago, another routine 'crazy' cropped up. It was about time. The previous crazy (who you can read about here) had been around 9 months ago, and it seemed that the world was throwing me another for good measure.

What was supposed to start out as just a quiet dinner with a friend on a Friday night, turned into a chatty dinner followed by expensive Gin and Tonics at a Chelsea bar and then onto a slightly more expensive club where the g&t's tasted like they contained quadruple shots of Gin. This would have contributed to my rather large beer goggles when I started talking to a gentleman shortly after. Having established that his friends weren't nearby (or perhaps they were never even there...), I felt quite mean to tell him to leave... So I took pity on the short, average looking man, and may have treated him with a smooch before regretting it and telling him I was off to the ladies whilst already half legging it out of the club.

Once outside, my friend and I were trying to hail a cab home to no avail. Two guys next to us were doing the same thing, so naturally we got chatting.
I started teasing them after assuming that the two girls staggering away from them were originally being taken back to theirs and had changed their minds. The two guys found this amusing, told me I had good banter (I try), and invited me to their housewarming party the following night. We shared a cab that dropped them to their residence on The Kings Road, and headed on home where I blissfully collapsed into my heavenly bed.

The following day was naturally a write off, but that evening I'd agreed to have drinks in Camden with a friend who had been away for a month and a half.
It was a easy, chilled evening and I strolled home to bed at the ripe old time of 10pm, only to be woken up by a text from Taxi Boy at 3.35am.

"Hey...how was the rest of your cab last night? Are you out tonight?"

Now I'm no grandma, but it was 3.35am! What planet was this guy on!?
I replied the following day, and we engaged in a text conversation. It became clear early on that he was wanting to arrange some sort of meet up, but there was one little problem.... I couldn't remember what he looked like. At all. Nor was I sure I wanted to see him. He asked what my Bank Holiday plans were, and I said I was heading off to a spa. He then invited me to his friend's house for a BBQ that coming Tuesday.
Strange. No drinks, no dinner, just a casual meet and greet of ALL of his friends.
I text him on the Tuesday and politely declined. At this point in time I had made the decision not to contact him again, and had structured my text so that he need not reply, but then...

"No worries. How was the spa?"


I didn't respond. A few days came and passed and I thought he had got the message, so you could imagine my amazement when I received another text 4 days later.

02:34am: "Are you on The Kings Road tonight?"

Again I didn't respond. While I thought it was strange that he'd text again ( I wouldn't do so myself), I put it down to the weekend and the fact he may have been out drinking... Until the following night when I received this...

01:49am "Hey..."
02:17am 












Yes that's right. He text me a photo of some food. With no explanation!

The following day I received a full stop as a text from him, and since then, nothing thankfully! I am praying that I wont hear from Taxi Boy The Stalker again, but I have to say I'm fairly thankful that when life gets a little serious, the powers that be will always throw in something to tickle your funny bone.
