Until the hunted becomes the... hunter!

I stalked my gf for 3 months after we broke up.. it paid off.

One year in college I was bored and decided to become an amateur private investigator, and placed an ad in the local paper. A woman answered, claiming her husband was cheating on her and she wanted photographic evidence. I met with her and she said she'd pay me twenty dollars a day plus expenses. I ended up following her husband after he left work one night, and followed him to a deserted barn on the outskirts of the city, probably about 60 miles northwest of Chicago. He entered the barn and emerged with an armful of chickens! I snapped pix of this activity naturally, curious as to what it could mean. He got on the interstate and headed for Wisconsin, I pursued. I followed him to a field just outside of Janesville, where he took off his clothes, covered himself in chicken feed, and had the chickens eat off his corpulent body. After vomiting, I snapped some pix and went the 120 miles back to Chicago.

Gear!, you are a beyond a treat.

― Alba (Alba), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 17:53 (twenty-one years ago)

yes that story is great.

Still pursueing someone now after 11 years.

The entire universe: "Give it the fuck up Ste!"
Me: *sticks fingers in ears*

― Ste (Fuzzy), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 20:45 (twenty-one years ago)

couple months, then we started dating and BOY WAS THAT A BAD IDEA.

― hstencil (hstencil), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 20:46 (twenty-one years ago)

I don't pursue, I simply repel.

― R.I.M.A. (Barima), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 20:46 (twenty-one years ago)

er, 10 years. i win. or lose. or cry. whatever.

― amateur!!st, Wednesday, 18 August 2004 20:47 (twenty-one years ago)

Over a year and counting!

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 20:53 (twenty-one years ago)

About two months. I have a very short attention span.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 20:54 (twenty-one years ago)

OK, I was sort of pursuing someone for over 2 years, but as of a month ago, it's done.

― R.I.M.A. (Barima), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 20:57 (twenty-one years ago)

man y'all are some long-game-playin' dudes.

― hstencil (hstencil), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 21:00 (twenty-one years ago)

That was a special case though. Usually its, like, five minutes max.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 21:02 (twenty-one years ago)

Ditto. I just deluded myself into thinking I'd found "the (well, a) one" against all rational thinking.

― R.I.M.A. (Barima), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 21:06 (twenty-one years ago)

Six months once. I wore her down and then, in classic idiot fashion, fell in love with her. Disastrously. Nowdays, I just flirt with cats - they're relatively easy and my girlfriend isn't obliged to fill her handbag with bricks and whack me upside the head.

― Michael White (Hereward), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 21:07 (twenty-one years ago)

Michael, didn't we have that discussion about cats having barbed penises or vagina dentata or something. Either way, it's been a few months and you still scare me.

― R.I.M.A. (Barima), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 21:13 (twenty-one years ago)

I just cop a feel. Six nipples instead of two and it's much easier to get them to roll on their backs than hairless bipeds in my experience.

― Michael White (Hereward), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 21:17 (twenty-one years ago)

If they could hold whips, you'd be golden.

― R.I.M.A. (Barima), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 21:26 (twenty-one years ago)

And red all over, obv.

― R.I.M.A. (Barima), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 21:26 (twenty-one years ago)

What makes you think they don't?

― Michael White (Hereward), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 21:27 (twenty-one years ago)

My sanity.

― R.I.M.A. (Barima), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 21:32 (twenty-one years ago)

i pursued someone for about 8 months once. it paid off.

― The Lady Ms Lurex (lucylurex), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 23:37 (twenty-one years ago)

Two years, but it wasn't a romantic pursuit.
I had an ex-roomate who had disappeared in the middle of the night, along with most of my clothes and CDs. Even though we went to the same university, he managed to avoid me for that length of time.
One night, I noticed him playing pool at the local live-music bar. Eventually, he lost his temper and was ejected by the bouncers, so I followed him into the street.
I yelled his name, and thinking it was a friend, he launched into some tirade about asshole bouncers until he recognized me.
I told him I just wanted to talk.
He tried to run, but I managed to catch up. He turned and threw a punch, which was a mistake. I thoroughly enjoyed kicking the shit out of him. After that, he actually started to pay me back for all the stuff he had stolen.

possibly 4 years, but really i gave up after the first 2 and a half. though in my weaker moments i have been known to pine.

― m. (mitchlnw), Thursday, 19 August 2004 00:01 (twenty-one years ago)

2 years, well sort of - I met my current guy while I was dating someone else, thought it was a shame I was taken cuz we really liked each other, we stayed friends, then 2 years later I was single, so was he... and there you have it.

― Trayce (trayce), Thursday, 19 August 2004 00:05 (twenty-one years ago)

A preposition is a bad word to end a question with.

I fancied my future wife for nine months and didn't have the guts to do anything about it. Then one day she asked me out.

― Dirty Muriel (Autumn Almanac), Thursday, 19 August 2004 00:54 (twenty-one years ago)

I've wanted to be persistent a couple times in the past, and perhaps should have been but I can't bring myself to put any effort in pursuing someone. It seems like almost every girl I've met has some story about some loser guy that liked them, who they didn't like, and what a drag it was. I've been successfully intimidated into never wanting to be that guy.

― herbert hebert (herbert hebert), Thursday, 19 August 2004 01:26 (twenty-one years ago)

yeah, but i have social anxiety disorder. so every boy i went out with (or the 2 loves of my life at least) had to pursue me and totally won me over. so maybe you'd be those guys hh.

i had a crush on a boy since 2nd grade. he finally like me back in 6th grade. and we kissed. that was satisfactory. more recently i had a crush on a man for 6 months. and we fucked. that was satisfactory, but very heartbreaking since it was not to be repeated. but at least i got a littles. ^-^

14 years? i met maria in 1988. i said to myself: that is the person i want to marry! i didn't see her again until the year 2001. we were married in 2002.
all the time that i didn't see her - and in that time she had been married and moved to europe and been divorced and moved back to the states - i asked about her to a mutual friend. and i never stopped asking. and maria knew that. and she wrote me a postcard. and came to philly to visit me in 2001. and then moved in. and the rest is herstory.
the lazy man's pursuit.

When I was 8 or 9, I developed a crush on my piano teacher's daughter. My brother would have his lesson first, downstairs, and I'd sit and listen to the daughter practice, upstairs. She was a couple of grades ahead of me, so it was like I was getting a preview of the music I'd be learning in two years time. She and I were the same age, and attended different middle schools, but then we ended up at the same high school.

I continued to crush on her in high school. I was learning the music I'd hear her playing, obsessively trying to learn "Aufschwung" so I could play it as good as she did. In Grade 9, I had a girlfriend, and the two of us ran into my crush, and the three of us were chatting. My crush looked at my girlfriend and I and commented, "wow you two are just like two peas in a pod!" I wanted to scream at her "but I'm in love with youuuuu please pay attention to meeeeee"

By Grade 11, the daughter was dating the class jock, this guy who did competitive jiu jitsu and wanted to become a fire fighter. He was great, I really liked him. I didn't feel jealous, just sad. My crush ebbed away, more out of necessity than out of dilution of interest, I just couldn't stay in love with her, seeing them together.

I crushed on her for seven years straight. And thirty years later I can still play Chopin and Schumann like nobody's business, I give her credit for that

six hours in Vegas roaming the Strip then over to the Hard Rock and eventually ending up at a strip club near the Trump hotel trying to find an extremely drunk friend who wandered off
