Ex Bf of girl im dating got my number and is now harrassing me

[Social_disturbance]

Long story short, I started dating/seeing this girl. I don't know how, but I think maybe he was picking up some stuff from her place and somehow got my cell phone number. He is now texting and trying to call me, and annoying the fvck out of me. I called my cell phone provider, and the geniouses that they are, you cannot block another cell phone from trying to call/text you. Fvcking Brilliant!

What should I do?

Also, he isn't threatening me, but is getting close to it, and I can't complain to the police unless I have a concrete threat.

There's not really anything you can say that will get through to him or make the situation better. Just ignore him... and watch your back. He'll get over it eventually.

pretty much sums it up. or you could go all mental and kick his fockin face off!!!!!!! i kid, i kid.

He is harrassing you. Send him a text message telling him that "Please stop harrassing me. You have sent me ____ (write number) texts and called me ____ times. I am starting to get concerned. If you don't stop, I will be forced to put a legal complaint."

Do not delete this message. Make sure he gets it. If he continues...then call the police and put a complain.

Tell him it's over between him and her, and you're gonna kick his ass if he keeps it up.

The problem is that if I call the police, I need to have a concrete threat, otherwise they won't take me seriously. I think there's also something with annoying calls...If calls are neverending then I can possibly put a complaint - Not exactly sure about texts.

Does not matter. He is harrassing you. He is disturbing your peace by constantly calling you and texting you.

And by you sending THAT Text....(which I'm sure will have a "date" and "time")...that is serving as your evidence. If he continues to contact you several times...that's your evidence that he continued to harrass you...even AFTER you asked him to stop.

Yeah man, I am pretty sure that is illegal.

Call the police. If he is actually talking about harming you, that offense is called threatening acts of violence and you can get him put in jail. I would advise you and your GF to get a VPO against him. Ditch the alpha male stuff this one time and use the law.

I would not call the police without first warning him.

The "alpha male" crap can get you in trouble with the law. And should only be reserved when you are protecting your life or the life of those near you. Other than that...it is better to avoid crap.
