Dating in the early stages should start out slow and easy to identify potential problems. Gabby Love at http://www.gabbylove.com presents a basic stalker awareness review as follows:

The breeding grounds for a stalker could be a person who appears overtly concerned,attentive,extremely thoughtful,and always want to be around you all the time....I mean "all the time". Raise the worry meter up a little...because there could be a dark side.

A stalker needs attention in an addictive sense from another because their own self esteem is so fragile. They have to bond with another to stop the overwhelming fear of loneliness. A stalker will try to separate you from family and friends and demand all of your time. Hey, being wanted and desired is always nice but too much of anything can be fatal.

A stalker can be extremely demanding and needy and refuses to compromise their way of thinking. Stalkers start out sweet and extremely nice but if things don't go their way thing can get ugly. Stalkers are seekers of attention rather it be positive or negative. An all out argument or "fight" ensues after talked a few minute telephone call from a friend or family member.

Stalkers are so out of touch with reality that they here what they want to hear. Stalkers are definitely persistent. You are relaxing at home and don't feel like talking to anyone and then the phone rings...I call it the "DAMN FOOL TEST". My friends and family know if I don't pick up in 3-5 rings...hang up. If it goes over 5 rings then they are a damn fool because I wouldn't answer now anyway. But with a stalker they will let the phone ring 30 or more times without hanging up.

Remember this old saying, it's a thin line between love and hate. Always take your time getting to know a person and always stay alert for potential stalkers.
