I am really not sure what to make of 'his' behaviour. I live in a village and don't socialise much with the locals (too busy working). When out walking, I seem to bump into 'him' rather a lot. He always stares at me, creepy staring that is very uncomfortable. He is usually alone and I think he is single. This is not a glance but prolonged hard stares that are totally odd and almost aggressive. I hate him doing it if my kids are around as it scares them. I tried talking to him once, thinking it might break down the barrier...but he made it obvious he didn't want a conversation and walked off. I choose to ignore him nowadays, but whenever he sees me then he walks across the road to stand next to me staring, I cringe and move away as he gives me the creeps. He walks past the house staring at school run times when he knows I am waiting for my children. His eyes seem to be following me around the village. I have tried to otherwise vary my routine as I have noticed he is around at set times. He works locally so it is proving hard to avoid him. I used to think he was harmless but my instincts tell me I am being targeted. He is a large man and I am quite small so I don't think I could physically escape him.
My husband works away from home, and we socialise outside the village quite a bit. I am not sure if this man assumes I am single and is making an awkward attempt at getting my attention with very poor social skills. I haven't told my husband as he has a hot temper and I could see the situation getting nasty quickly.
No idea what to do.
