It's the cell providers that have created a security breach, as I learned at a parent internet safety presentation. My kids' school had someone from the district attorney's office there, to show this.

Either way, keep in mind, your interaction with him, has become habitual. Adding other hobbies and friends will fill that void.

I'm reading a lot of, my life will change, 'if' I move out of where I am now. That could be true, but each step is a process. Being stuck in a rut is adding to depression. Takes baby steps, not giant strides. Having a kind compassionate heart, is nothing to allow someone to take advantage of. It's a prized possession, in and of itself. Rescuing a wounded snake, is still taking in an animal that won't hesitate to bite nor lash out. Guilt trips are lashing out, imo.

Try Googling your own cell phone number. See what comes up. He knows the town where you live? and he knows your name? He wouldn't have to be an ace detective to find you. By now, you should be catching on to what a position you've put yourself in. If you can't manage to stop all contact with this guy, at least make up your mind to make yourself as boring as possible. It seems he hasn't got much tolerance for boredom.

If worse comes to worse, you can make a police report saying that this guy is cyberstalking you. Meanwhile, stop giving out specific info about yourself. Or give out false info. What law says you got to be truthful with a some stranger you know little about. He has even told you things about himself that are unsavory. That's pretty scary right there. Who knows what he hasn't told you? You better start backing out of this any way you can. You're a college student. Find things to get involved with on campus.

Does anyone know how I would stop talking to this guy? We are taking a break until the weekend. The problem now is that I've told him so many times that I don't want to continue talking that he doesn't believe me or he tries to convince me why we should keep talking or even makes me feel guilty, saying things like, "You've proved to me that I can't trust any girl" or "You don't care about my feelings or what I want." I even told him that I don't want to continue because of my mental health and he said "please, we can figure this out." I think this might be because not many people are interested in dating him and I'm the only person who has expressed any interest recently. The bad thing is that he knows I have no close family or friends, so he may think I'm not going anywhere for that reason too.
You might want to look into emotional blackmail, which is what he is doing to you:

Out of the FOG - Emotional Blackmail

Don't explain or wait for him to be "convinced".

We cannot talk anymore. Good bye.

and after that never pick up and never respond to texts.

If he threatens you in any way, call the police.
Thanks for this!

It's August and this finally just ended. I can't believe I put up with him for so long, and HE blocked me saying I was being hurtful to him. He had been avoiding me for months, saying he had his "own stuff" to deal with. He told me last week he wanted to meet and then changed his mind and blocked me a few days later. I wasn't the nicest to him at times, but he's a jerk. He's pathetic. I think he was talking to other women. I'm a smart person and I don't know why I stuck around for so long, or why it feels so hard to let go/ makes me so angry. It's all I've been thinking about for days and I have barely slept. I know I can do so much better (he's even told me that before) and he's been making me feel bad for months. I almost feel obsessed with this, but I don't understand why because he isn't that great of a person- not very educated, not very nice to me, and I could meet someone with way better qualities. The last few days he came up with EVERY excuse for this to not work- I'm too focused on a career, I don't drink and he does, etc.- things that never bothered him before. But I know things will be much better for me because I DIDN'T meet him (he even said once I'd probably be better off without him). I think he may have met someone else he is planning to meet (I don't know this for sure) but he's been rejected so many times (as far as he's told me) that I know that likely won't work out for him and he will just end up feeling bad. What a loser.
