When I was 13-14 years old, a girl at my school told me repeatedly that she was going to marry me, take me to China, Mexico or Hawaii, and pick me up at 5:00 in the morning. She would often kiss me, after being told I do not want to be kissed. I have also […]

I was standing in […]

I’m a male and a junior in college.
Well, my freshman year I started receiving email from a girl who seemed to recall seeing me several times. I replied politely but thought her behavior was rather odd. Without me having said little more than a short email response, she was giving me gifts– which included […]
