I had one creepie, but I haven't had much of an issue on CC. Just men I don't know who want to private chat. I just ignore them. When Inwas single there wasn't much computer meeting. I have a creepy story actually a few, but this one takes the cake. I was out with a couple of friends, one male, one female. Talking, having a nice time. Waitress comes over and says she's to me, the man over there wants to buy you a drink . I wasn't drinking alcohol. I said, well I just have a soda here, I don't want any alcohol.
Man comes over and introduces himself to all of us. Sits down starts talking to me. My friends are talking to each other watching us and pretending not to listen. Man keeps trying to talk me into drinking with him. I keep saying, no thanks. Says he's from out of town, he's staying at the hotel across the street. They have a gym so I want to go over there and work out with him? I said, no I don't. Then he asks, if I want to swim with him? No thanks, I don't and I have no swimsuit. Then he says, You won't need one. I was trying to be polite but then I just snapped and said, you need to leave our table. You're making me very I uncomfortable. Oh sorry, I just wanted to hang out. I said, well it's not going to be with me. I did also mention that asking random women to work out and swim with him is creepy. He finally got up and left. That was weird.

I remember somebody started a chat with me in a bible based chat room where we were discussing the "Second coming". All she (Lets assume this was a "she" as the name indicated) wanted to do was "come over". My first question was, "Who told you I'm looking for love halfway across the world?" She was pretty insistent using terms like "I can be your online gf" 
I didn't waste time. I blocked her and she was later dumped from that chat room. Annoying really! A few days later a number of guys in the room exchanged stories on their own rather weird encounters with this individual.

The people that do that don't really read threads or respect boundaries.
It's like in the chats some women put in their PM box that they are happily married and for men not to approach them. Men still hit on them. That's why stating your boundaries is useless here. The only people that would respect them don't need to be told to begin with.

Had a woman on here develop an interest... or something. She was very aggressive about her interest. I had zero interest and the more I got to know her the less interest I had. Then I found reasons to suspect she was possibly misleading me about some things. She was so relentless I had to lie about starting to date another CCer, hoping that would deter her. She told me dating isn't married and she wasn't going to stop. At that point I began breaking ties. Once she finally realized I wasn't going to budge and largely stopped talking to her she posted in the forums about how she was looking for a man to date.
Had some lesser odd things happen here but that's the big one.

The people I really feel for are ladies all over. My lady friends and relatives often share crazy stories of the many times when the creepiness extends to the street and the workplace or the school run as they wait for their kids to come out. A chance supermarket encounter at the breakfast cereals section can become a real headache. A friend of mine had some idiot follow her around a supermarket begging for her number. So I can appreciate the "walls" that one has to have up. A former colleague says that when she walks down a street in her part of the city she looks straight ahead as eye contact can be construed as an invitation.
I remember entering a building some years back. I was on the 3rd floor looking for a company that had supplied me with reasonably priced printer cartridges before. From the changed setup it appeared that the company had moved. In the doorway a few metres away from where I stood, young lady was busy unlocking the doors to what I assumed was her store or a store she managed. She was the only person around outside a shop so I spoke up to get her attention. As I called out to her, "Good morning! Hello? Excuse me?" she ignored me and her face took on this stone cold expression as she fished for a second set of keys in her handbag. I could see what was going on. I then said gently, "Excuse me maam, do you know if..." and she muttered, "Leave me alone I have a boyfriend!" This rather attractive lady had probably been hit on so many times that she had gone into this mode almost automatically. My problem was I still had to drive out to a farm out of town so I was pressed for time and I wanted to know if she knew if these printer guys had moved or not. So I said rather loudly, "Hey!"
She looked up at me. I continued, "Look lady. I get that you are not into me and I know that it may take a few days for it to sink in, but in the meantime could you tell me if the printer repair guys are still here or have they moved?"
She burst out laughing and apologized (she didnt need to though) before giving me the info I wanted.
[I know y'all are wondering....I didnt ask for her number....I didn't need it]

Hey Lynx,
You know I think you're a great friend and I highly respect you, but I have to politely voice a difference of opinion.
I personally believe/hope that threads about inappropriate behaviors on the forum and in the chat rooms should be posted regularly because they might possibly be a deterrent to those who come here with less-than-noble intentions. Hopefully such people might realize that this community is vigilant about cracking down on the nonsense, and will think twice about joining or engaging in such behavior.
Many people don't talk about what's happening, and if it's not brought out in the open, we can't do anything about it or let people know that it's NOT OK.
I've had a few less-than-pleasant encounters, but the two I want to mention were initiated by "women"--whom I believe were actually men.
One incident consisted of a "girl" in the chat room who would start a mundane conversation about the fact that she was supposedly online shopping... and the next thing I knew, "she" was asking me if I liked skirts... and how short I wore them. It took me a while to catch on and I immediately left the conversation. I was very naive when I first came to CC and I've had to learn along with everyone else. The same thing happened some time later, and I believe it was the same person under another name (I wish I would have written down the names.) I'm pretty sure this user was not a female, as they claimed to be (even if "she" was, I don't think she had wholesome intentions.)
Another time, a young "female" user contacted me and said she was dieting... and asked if she "looked ok". She had an album in her profile with pictures of herself... basically in bathing suits. Her profile was set so that only people on her friends list could see her pictures, and every single person on "her" friends list was female. I don't know if "she" asked this of her other "female friends"... But she was basically asking for pictures (in skimpy attire) because "she" said she wanted to compare herself to others... to see if "she" was at the right size. The other big hint was that when she said my pictures in my profile (just regular everyday pictures that anyone else on my friend list can also see--certainly nothing suggestive), "she" made several comments about the way I looked.
Again, I highly doubt this was the young teenager she claimed to be.
One of the reasons I speak out so adamantly against catfishing and other inappropriate online behaviors is because I've spent some time here talking to young teens. Many don't realize that the way they are being spoken to is wrong, and I always feel protective of young people who might not realize how important it is to speak up and ask for help when someone is abusing their presence on a site like CC.
If something doesn't seem right, it probably isn't!!! Never be afraid to go to someone else for a second opinion and/or a moderator for help.
ah i was reminded of one incident in chat.
a woman PM me. women PMing me didn't happen often, but i always welcomed a chat. anywho, after the "hello how are you" part, she then told me i could ask her anything. so i asked the normal questions. then she reiterated i could ask her anything. "i'm an open book!" uhhh.. ok?
i found it weird. most convos just flow, but this one was just.. weird.

I remember that person! Or bot, rather. She said I could ask her anything. But I didn't ask cause at the time I had nothing to ask.
There was this one guy, however. After the his and hellos, he asked me if I was struggling about stuff... and I said everyone does. He then started telling me about his struggles with porn and that's when I made my exit. I told him he shouldn't be telling me those things and told him to talk to a guy mod. I didn't stay long enough to find out if he sincerely needed help or if he was preying on girls in chat. And the thing is. He STILL is active in chat. I kinda almost forgotten about that incident. I should've reported it? But I was very emotionally unstable when that happened and I haven't been to chat since
P
I was on another Christian forum and had this same experience. It turns out this guy had the exact same conversation about struggles and porn with all the girls he messaged. Maybe this guy has multiple accounts on different forums. The sad thing is that he is still an active member and very well liked by most on the forum. Nothing was really ever done about his questionable behavior. The few of us who did try to speak up and expose his bad behavior were the ones that ended up being viewed as controversial. In the end, it wasn't worth it to say anything because he is still active, well liked and those of us who did speak up found ourselves at odds with the rest.
