Well, he's not my boyfriend but we've been dating and it looks hopeful. I visited him one day but noticed the same guys following him everywhere he went. They even stay outside his apartment when he's coming and going.
We went for breakfast and they were sat at a table next to us. I caught him nod at them and they all stood up, they went outside briefly and returned and nodded at him. After that, we went into town to do some shopping and they were in the distance, but never left his sight. They don't give the vibe of being friends, but respectable towards him, and very protective of me? Does anybody have any ideas on what is happening? I feel like it's not my business to ask him. All ideas are hugely appreciated |

I agree with the other user. The only way to find out whether it is your business is to ask him. Besides, it's also possible that the person could lie rather than be frank, if you're afraid of asking the question.
Anyways, let us know his response if you do ask. It seems rather strange. Reminds me of some boss of something sketchy having his cronies around. Lol. Not saying that's what it is, of course. Is there anything more you could tell us about your date and the group of guys? |

It is reasonable for you to ask. If his mother showed up to a date and sat a few feet away, you'd ask right? This sounds even more serious. Is he a very wealthy man?

So my date is just an average guy. Dead romantic, paid for my travel costs to get here, he's been taking me on picnic dates and all of the cute stuff. When we started dating he told me he's had a dark past but it's behind him now, and that he's making up for it by helping in the community.
His guys are all ex security services, there is always a land rover tailing us. I asked briefly about it and he told me that they had "intelligence" that there was a very small possibility of conflict. I notice that there is one guy who is closer to him than the rest, he's a bit more willing to have banter with him and they seem very close. I was going to the shop to buy some books to read at night, and my date was at the cafe getting everyone breakfast and drinks, I had one of his guys overlooking me when someone approached me and his guys sprung into action, one got me away from his guy, another had his hands inside his jacket as if he was ready to pull something out of his pocket. Again, this was robotic and my date walked over and asked if I was okay and held my hand. The thing is, he never needs money. The breakfast was free, I was surprised when we just got up and walked off (not before his guys went around and gathered everyone's empty plates) and the lady replied "be safe!" my date replying "always". His family are well known and highly respected. Before his dad died, he ran a security company (off the books, illegal protection rackets) |

Is he royalty or a prime minister? Just kidding. What does he do for a living then? Waste management consultant or runs a pork store? Sorry couldn’t resist.
I find it curious that you wouldn’t ask him what’s up with having bodyguards. Are you a shy person or are you afraid to ask? Just casually ask and see what he says (might lie of course but watch his reaction). Do tell us, I am being nosey. Be safe please |

He works within the community helping the homeless, he runs a shelter and manages a team of volunteers.
Today was a little bit shocking but we have answers at least. When he entered a shop today we were rushed out and huddled into a blacked out range over and sped away. The guys just turned around to me and said to not worry, its just a safety issue. It gave me a reason to ask what was going on and what is he involved in. It turns out that the guys are all security services with the local authority. The guy I'm dating was approached by a gang and was threatened at knife point for a situation many years ago. But what he never told me was he ran for mayor in his local town as he was nominated as community icon and so they were nominated to protect him. |

You may also want to consider other people in your life....family, close friends. If someone trying to target your boyfriend decides to target you one day (not beyond the realm of possibility), they could also target the people you love. If I were you, I'd end this relationship now. Last edited by Anonymous44076; Jun 10, 2019 at 12:05 PM.. |

yea I agree this does not sound like just an average guy. my first thought was the mob. lol sorry but the mob isnt only in the tv shows and here where Im located its quite common to discover a person who says they are someone famous like trying to become president, governor or mayor is part of the crime syndicate.
suggestion since he says he is a candidate for mayor you should be ab le to find out very easily though news websites, and google. news channels always do reports on those who are applying or have applied to government positions like this. if you cant find anything in news papers or tv channels or tv channel offical websites call your nearest voting office. they can look in their records to see if he was ever a candidate or on any ballots for the past 50 or so years. they even back up their records with the county and state (federal) so if he really is a candate for governor any where you will know it rather quickly. what Im concerned about is the fact that you are dating someone who says he was or is a candate for a government job and you did not know it before you started dating him. if he is so well known that he needs body guards then there should have been some thing about it in the media somewhere including pictures of campaigning and such things. my point this raises big flags for me, please be careful with this guy ok. something just doesnt sound right with him. |

I didnt read all the replies, so maybe i have missed some details. Average guy, body guards, people following? Maybe it’s the skeptic side of me, but i’m just having a difficult time believing this. What advice or support related to mental health are you asking for?

Trust me average people don’t live like this. Guys managing homeless shelters and organizing volunteers don’t have bodyguards. Id get out now before you get too involved.

I agree with divine on this one. If I experienced this it would creep me out and I would begin to feel unsafe. Would not want to live like that either always having people guarding like that and constantly watching.
