This has scared the shit out of me.

A while back I met a guy on an online dating site, nothing came of it he wasn't my type. We exchanged a few emails then I let it drop. He didn't, he sent a couple of emails saying "is your email down" and "could you let me know if you aren't interested", but I didn't get round to it.
Today I get an email saying:

Lizzie,
did you know if you google this - (my email address)
or Lizzie in (my town)
you get this- (link to my full postal address)?
And that leads you to this- (link to google earth showing my house)?

This creeped me out completely. I rang the police for advice but they said he hadn't done anything wrong. I am scared now for myself and my kids.

I'm overeacting aren't I? Please tell me I'm overeacting.

Hi All
I did mean to tell him I wasn't interested, mainly because I'm not ready to date at the moment. I've just had so much else going on with family that the needs of someone I've not met or spoken to just faded into the distance. However it's been weeks since I last mailed him and he keeps on emailing me which in itself is a bit wierd from someone you have exchaged maybe four emails with.
I think I will leave it for now and if he contacts again, tell him I didn't like his mail.
Thanks
Lizzie

Actually I think I'd change the email a bit. Add on:

"I've shown your email to a lot of my friends and every one of them has said you come across as a stalker. I'm sure you're not, but just thought I'd give you the heads up that women don't like that sort of investigative work done on them, especially when you are hiding your own real name."

I wouldn't reply ever again. Ignore Ignore Ignore. He wants you to contact him so don't go there.

Create a new e mail - leave that one as it is and don't delete it incase he carries on messaging you and you can keep a record if you need it, for the Police. Definitely contact the dating site though - seriously odd.

Set up a gmail account and set the name as your forename or a nickname

Lizzie, You know he doesn't actualy know for sure that you are the person he has found. If you mail him you'll confirm it though. Ignore.
