The real question is: (ask yourself)

What are you getting out of this?
No, I told her I enjoyed hanging out with her and her friends last September. I asked her out, she gave me the weird answer and rejection. I said I still enjoyed hanging out with the group. Which, was true at the time. It didn't mean I wanted her to invite herself to things, seek out where I was, where I am going...etc.. Then, her be ultra private. If I tried to talk to her about it, she would shut the door on the communication... I stopped communication with her and ended game watches before, then she invites herself to dinner with my coworkers and I. The first couple of times it happens, it catches you off guard. You think it is weird, then you rationalize it... But, then it happens again, then again and it freaks you out. From the beginning of September through the end of October, I did not invite her to things. She initiated contact with me, so I invited her to things again. At that time, she seemed to show interest, so I tried to talk to her....nothing.. she shut down and wouldn't have it. So, I thought I would just be friends with her. Then, she started following me around...seeking my friends and coworkers....eating my food... acting more possessive of me.

I called her out on some of the behavior first week of January and questioned her what she was doing. Discussed how her actions were becoming inappropriate. She rationalized and pretended it was not weird behavior, even though it obviously was (i.e. texting my married coworker that she barely knows about watching a game, since she knows I usually watch Thursday night games with him at the bar.. his wife appreciated her texting him...) I have not talked to her since that discussion and pretty well told her the game watches are done... So, she emails me about work... Then texts me. She does this weird back and forth stuff. I will shut her out, but she will seek somebody I hang out with or an event she knows I will go to.

I do not think she is vulnerable in any sense. I think she is playing some sort of weird game and seeking out attention. I will not invite her to things and will not go to things with her. I cannot be friends with this one even. But, she will seek me out somehow. I know she will. She has done this before. I am going to ignore her this time though..
