It's definitely the next step if he keeps bothering me. When we met, he told me his ex had a restraining order against him. I still don't know whether that's true or not, but it wouldn't surprise me. Then again, he told me he had gotten back with her. When I confronted him about it, he claimed he'd never said he was back with her, that I was "schizophrenic" and making things up. He forgets his own lies. He has made subtle death threats (said "It doesn't matter, I have 2 machetes and your address, you know...) before and I really regret not calling the cops when it happened...
