I don't know what to do about this

Ok, I need some advice.

To make a long story short, there is this guy, head of security on my college campus, about a month ago, I collapsed in the halls and had to have the medics come. He was the guy who helped me. The following week, everytime he saw me he asked how I was, which seemed normal. Then it started to get weird, he came up to me one day when I was studying in the quad and gave me his card asking if I was interested in joining the "security counsel" which I asked people about and said they hadnt heard of it. And now, every time I see him he needs to be talking to me, last week he gave me a "gift" or sorts, he knows I am a lit major and gave me a really nice gold bookmark. What is the deal? is he just being really nice, or is this creepy? And what should I do to kinda give him the idea that Its making me feel weird. Quick fact, he's like old enough to be my father, I'm 24, and he also wears a wedding band. HELP PLEASE

Is there an advisor you can talk to? A trusted "adult"? This guy seems weird. Don't accept any gifts from him, no matter how small. Tell him that this is making you uncomfortable and that you would appreciate it if he would stop.

Personally, I'd think he was being nice, but I'm a dipstick when it comes to men and their so called "good-intentions". I agree with Becky, tho, definitly talk to a professor or something.

NOPE..trust your instincts..if someone creeps you out..there's a reason. Talk to someone that matters at school and tell them you want the guy to back off.

Did you know that security guards, according to something I read somewhere, have a higher tendency than most men to stalk and harm women? Kind of makes sense given the power issues.

Yes he is weird. Very weird. Talk to his boss ASAP.

I'm with Jane. Trust your instincts. And talk to someone at school on the faculty about this.

I agree trust your instincs..try to be couteous and upfront. Let him know that you cant accept his gifts.Also you may want to say that your major is LIT so you would not be interested in secrurity.. You may want to mention that you noticed hes married and that you have gotten the feeling that he wnts to be more than friends. This makes you uncomfortable and you are not intersted in breaking up a home....be kind, firm stick to the moral issues some people can respect that...let an authority figure you trust(guidence cousellor) know whats going on-he sounds like hes looking to get laid by a hot college girl.

    I miss traveling with my husband. Has anyone found a specific site regarding cruising for widow/widowers or any sightseeing trips. Not interested in being with couples and kids,,,I realize a cruise ship will have a portion size of families and couples, but perhaps they also put together a part of the cruise ship for groups of widows/widowers????

    A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
