My encounter with cyber stalker



I dont add strangers on my facebook, my purpose to have a Facebook account is not make friends with man. My profile is to stay connected with those people whom I met in real world, as at times people change places and phone numbers.



It was 2016, I was busy online working for an NGO, I was frequently  online; I used to check my facebook several times a day as Facebook page was always open.



One fine afternoon, I checked my facebook and saw that I have pending friend request from a man named Tanveer. He was a common friend of one of my acquaintances on Facebook; they both did MBA from same college. I am also an MBA, so I thought maybe I know him and just didn’t recognize him.



I accepted the request and then he messaged me, I tried to keep it short and ask him does he know me or is it professional reasons? He said just professional, on which I gave him my LinkedIn profile and asked him to connect there as that’s place for professionals.



I thought thats it, but then he started pinging me on daily basis, I was very pissed of but instead of blocking him; I did a mistake of answering his all questions. He wanted to know about me, I gave him my age, single status and I am a feminist. One day as I was working on creating some documents for organization. He told me about him that he’s an engineer working abroad on a railway line construction site ; but will be back soon and will like to meet me. I was not interested to meet a stranger, while I was thinking it; he asked me : What does I think of him, whether I find him handsome?



In my mind, he was fat and not good looking; but I didnt want to hurt him so I said I find him, Oki! The next thing I know that he proposed me to marry him and I rejected his proposal there and than.



After which he started abusing me by calling me old cow whom no one wants to marry, also I am mad and mental. I wanted to give him a piece of my mind but thought NO; as I already wasted my precious time for nothing. He is not worth it!



I just blocked him from Facebook and thought its over. But then when I checked my LinkedIn, I realized that he is checking my profile; I felt quite uncomfortable and blocked him from there too and I almost forget him. But after a year or two, again I received a friend request from same person but I knew that I already blocked him; does this means he had created a new profile. I went forward and blocked him again, and then again after a year same thing happened and after talking to my family; I didnt only blocked him but also reported his profile. Till now no news, I hope everthing is over.
