Women Share Their Encounters With the “Nice Guys” Who Turned Out to Be Creeps

Uninvited and lurking in the shadows to send a “compliment” is a textbook example of stalker behavior, not charm. There’s a vast difference between a surprise visit and creeping around unnoticed. It’s unsettling to know someone’s watching without consent, and it’s not flattering—it’s invasive. This is a narrative that needs to change; surveillance isn’t affection, it’s intimidation.

If someone thinks this is an acceptable way to show interest, they’ve got it all wrong. It’s about time that respecting boundaries and personal space becomes the norm, not the exception. No one should feel watched, especially in their place of work or comfort. It’s not a game of hide and seek; it’s a serious breach of personal space that should be addressed immediately.
