Oh dear lord, this happened back in 02, just before thanksgiving. I was on that dating site Salon/Nerve.
I met this dude who seemed normal, we talked a bit over a couple weeks. Then I agreed to go meet him at this bar near The Abbey Pub. Well my ex husband was watching our kid that night.
Well I met this guy and I had those instant vibes that said something wasn't right. He kinda creeped me out right away. So we go to the little bar/restaurant and he kept practically laying across the table to grab me and talking about how we seemed like "soul mates" and blah blah blah. Just kept talking about how we were meant for each other and how he could see us together forever.
I excused myself to go to the bathroom. At that point I wouldn't even order COFFEE if it meant I had to stick around too long. In the bathroom I called my ex and asked him to call me back in just under five minutes telling me Charlie was sick. So I went back to the booth and tried to smile. Then a couple minutes later my cell rang, it was my ex, I took the call and did the usual faking concern " oh my god, is he ok?? Oh no, poor thing. No no, I'll be right home".
So I told him charlie was really really sick, running a fever and had to go. So I left two minutes later promising I'd call. And then got in my car, went home and put this dude on a blocker on email and IM. Oh My GOD. He was creepy.
I also swore off men that night, but about two weeks later I met Spade so that didn't last long. LOL.
I did run into him at the New Pornographers show about a week after I started dating Spade, I told him that my ex and I got back together. And then ran out of the club.
The funniest part of all this is that Ryan started posting around the same guy I ditched this guy, and I think I had mentioned the CMJ board in a conversation with him once so when one day Ryan actually used my real name in a thread I flipped out on him "how the hell do you know my name??" Poor guy.

All I remembered was that the guy was in a band and I knew this "robotboy" was too so I guess I thought he was him stalking me.
