So, I decided to take some advice from some of my readers and Twitter followers, and ditch my passive-aggressive ways, at least this one time...this is a special case.
Yet, the travesty that is my "Wal-Mart Stalker" continues as we speak...literally. Here are the text messages that I've sent/received from him in the last 5 minutes (after the 3 ignored phone calls just 10 minutes before) since I decided to end it (or so I thought) by telling him to leave me alone.
Baba*: "I have anythin wrong? please i want to go out with u. Thinkin of u. Baba.*"
Me: "I'm not interested. Please stop calling and texting me. Thank u."
Baba*: "I do like u from the buttom of my heart. I promise u wil be treated soo special like a queen. I have much love instore 4 u only."
Me: "I don't answer and don't call back because I am not interested. Please understand."
Can I just say something? (First of all, all misspellings and grammatical errors are quoted verbatim...just so you know.) But seriously, Baba*, I'm sure you're a nice guy, but when I say I'm not interested, that does NOT mean keep trying! It means STOP! RIGHT! NOW!
And...that's a bit scary. I only met you for like 10 minutes max and you "like me from the 'buttom' of your heart" and "have much love instore 4 me only"? I don't know you!!!! I don't want to know you!!! (See...now I sound mean. But really, this guy has been irking me for almost 2 weeks!)
Now, back to the texting session...or the end thereof?
Silence.
Is it over? Is it really over?
Oh no. Red LED light blinking on my Blackberry. My heart just literally skipped a beat...could he possibly have something else to say?
Please no. Please no. Please no. Please no. (I'm actually whispering this to myself as we speak...errr, uh, as I type.)
Whew! Just a Facebook notification.
Wow um yeah a restraining order may be needed.. well in looking for the positives in all things at least you have an admirer! I think the mistake was giving him your number in the first place if you had no intention of calling him. A no then would have nixed all of this.
I hope your address isn't linked online to your phone number you may want to google it just to be sure that your addy doesn't come up... I will keep you in my prayers!

@Nathan Yeah, should've just said no, but I was trying to be nice. Damn that next time. LOL. I think I may have gotten rid of him though, I hope. However, he did send me three more texts after I posted this blog:
Baba*: "I understand and dont be mad bcus i liked u from the very 1st time i saw u and taught we could just be good friends and have som good time but if u say s
Baba*:o i agree. I wil mis u alot bcus remember i told u dat u lok like my sister. Just in case u change ur mind or u need my assistance, dont esitate to cal me
Baba*:'i wil be there 4 u. Have a joyful week. Much love. Baba*
Again, all typos are his mistakes, NOT mine. :) Thanks for the prayers...I also have a daddy who's a Marine and a best friend who's a cop. I'll call back-up if need be. :)

Text stalking is fun, isnt it! Well I dont think you were mean at all... very forthright and quite clear. You know how some people dont want to hear what you say and choose to read it a different way. I think Baba does this. So sad... if he wasnt a stalker would you be interested?

@E2D2 Thanks...glad I don't sound mean. :) Unfortunately in this case, even if he wasn't a stalker, I wouldn't be interested in him...that's why I didn't want him to call me in the first place. No attraction, not an interesting conversation, etc. Oh well..."move on to the next." LOL.
