QUESTION: Ok so there's this real weird guy in my psych class. I m in first year and he is somewhere in 2nd or 3rd and is a psych major. So out of 200 people in our class he has been messaging me and asking me for help in classes (playing dumb?) I tried to politely answer him for some time but then I freaked out and blocked him.on.Facebook. Maybe I'm reading too much into it?

    This was clearly written by a female.

    Or the guy actually needs help and is using his knowledge in psychology by asking someone specifically rather than mass emailing the class...

    Or he's flirting.

    Or he's stalking you and planning to kill you.

      Okay let's say you are right, but why me? I don't even know how he knows my name.

      OP, we're a bunch of anons who don't know you. What answer are you looking for? This reply makes me think you're out for attention and that you want us to reply that you're probably hot or something. He probably does it with a lot of people

    Learn has a classlist. All he needs (if he's clever) is a fragment of your name (first / last), and then run all search results against a Facebook search.

    Even if he doesn't know, 200 students are honestly not that hard to classify... Grab the names, classify by apparent gender, classify by apparent race... Sooner or later, you are down to the suspected list of names of your "target". From there, Google/Facebook are your friends.

    No, I haven't done this before...

    Omg OP, you're being too nice. If I were you, I'd cut that sucker off. If he's freaking you out, redirect him to ask a TA. If he still continues to pester you, ignore him completely and DO NOT ANSWER. Remember, intermittent reinforced behaviour is harder to extinguish (ex: answering sometimes, then no answers at all) than consistently reinforced behaviour (ex: answering all the time, then no answers at all). If you're not familiar with this, I suggest you study up on your Pavlov. Psychology for the win!

    In all honesty OP wouldn't have a problem with this guy if he is attractive. Since she's calling his actions creepy it means she thinks he's not. The unfortunate truth of women and their labels.

    How is this a question? You're basically just saying "Hey guys, this creepy guy seems really into me. Am I right? (Btw, out of like hundreds of people, he chose me- no big deal)"
