i am a single mum of 1, i changed my nickname because i am a bit shy person.
after hurting relationships i have decided to be on my own only deal with our lives with my child, thats the only energy i have now at the moment. i have no family around and not so many close friends which is generally the conditions and me being picky.
anyway there is a guy around me for the last maybe 6-7 months.
i see this guy at the local shop nearly every morning he is usually around me watching me.
there are some special coincidences i dont know how they happen for example when i am just entering the shop he just comes out the lift from the car park to enter the shop appearing just 1 mt beside me. it happened quite a few times but the timing is really surprising.
i have seen him on my road where i live a couple times- he walked beside me or was in his car.
i just sometimes look to make him feel that i have noticed him, but dont do anything else.
what is he trying to do, i dont know maybe thats a silly question.
he is very handsome man and i dont know why he picked me to watch like that (i am not bad looking, but still wonder).
i have lots to do but i saw him this morning so close again, felt confused and i thought its best to ask my clever, wise friends here on mumsnet.

It sounds weird to me. Just because he is handsome doesn't mean he can't be up to no good.
He has every opportunity to speak up and make himself known to you. Good looking men don't normally get a bad reaction from women if they start a conversation, so hence they are not afraid of the brush off. It's the ugly weird one's that are used to the sharp end of our tongues. As long as you are safe and in a public place there wouldn't be much harm in starting up a conversation to try and see if it is all just a big coincidence. Shy or not shy it is not okay for a man to follow a woman around and say nothing.
Good luck keep you eyes wide open and remember that wolves come in sheep's clothing!
My ex was extremely good looking and he is a violent, ruthless monster!

that was my thought too. A good looking man who felt attracted to you wouldn't be so desperately shy that he wouldn't approach you to as much as say "hi", would he? Seems unlikely anyway.

What do you think lies behind it all then?

i'd be quite freaked out. you don't sound too concerned though . decide whether you think he is a stalker or an admirer, and take it from there. personally i'd get a male friend to say 'oi you what's your game mate?' or something to that effect but that's just me
