One word: Awareness

Knowing all there is to know about our current object(s) of obsession is not really the end goal here in Stalkers Inc. Beyond that, raising a high level of awareness among our stalkees is the ultimate priority.

Note, however, that awareness does not equate to FEAR. We DO NOT want our stalkees to be afraid of us. Preferred reactions include amusement, pity, irritation and flattery. Fear is not something we want to instill in our stalkees’ heads as that would eventually lead to avoidance.

Case and point: Yours Truly. I am not proud of it but neither am I ashamed. The event led to Crush becoming very much aware of my existence. However, my mistake was going overboard to the point of loudly announcing “OH MY GOD” upon his entrance to the room. I was so caught off guard by his sudden appearance (another lesson here: CONSTANT VIGILANCE!) that the three words that ultimately resulted to my downfall slipped out of my mouth. I was powerless to stop it.

A few weeks later, said Crush disappeared.

Gypsy Vixen reasoned it was due to a transfer of offices within said crush’s company but I feel deep down it was fear of being within the same vicinity as me. I suspect Crush is an atheist. The phrase “Oh my God” triggered the fear in him. Thank heavens I was able to do damage control. The encounter did not lead to a restraining order.

See my point? Awareness is a priority. However, it has to be awareness devoid of fear.

A successful case an amateur stalker should consider would be that of Gypsy Vixen’s latest encounter with Crush (not mine, hers). It was a stroke of luck (and my neglect of telling her that Crush was heading our way) that Gypsy Vixen uttered the words “Drag me! Drag me!” just in time for Crush to meet her eye.

Yes, it resulted to shame on her part but nonetheless, it heightened Crush’s awareness AND, quite possibly, interested him enough to be curious about the actions exhibited by my co-stalker. He was amused! And it showed in the way he started smiling and biting his lip. The latter action perhaps signaling the internal struggle on his part to keep himself from laughing out loud at her avid cries of despair BUT it was still AWARENESS! Plain and utter awareness!

We have to give props to our stalkee here too. A gentleman! (Suggested reading: In choosing stalkees, quality trumps quantity by Donald Trump)

So there, fellow stalkers. The first step leading to stalking success: Awareness. Of course, extensive research on your part about your targets is standard operating procedure. Know their schedules, food preferences, parking spaces, office floors, etc etc. Any information is good information. It will give you the ammunition you need to nip that object of obsession in the bud!
