If this man is just a lonely library user it does not sound like there is much you can do. Maybe tell him you have to go somewhere else rather than home so you do not have to offer him a ride. To a boyfriend's house for instance. To a Red Hat meeting. If he is more of a stalker like Gail the law seems to offer quite a bit more in protection than when Jennifer and I went through in 1989-1990 in our ordeal with Gail P. Just tell him you have errands to run or whatever if he persists with unwanted attention then you probably could get a work place restraining order. Document everything with time date and what he did if he is a serious problem like Gail P. I will bet that some of the Florida libraries have had problem patrons which the library staff have had to get work place restraining orders against for some reason or another. Not sure if talking too much would qualify though. He just sounds like a lonely man. If you are just a library patron like this lonely man, then I would just alert the library staff about him if he is a real problem for you. He just sounds like a lonely man. This might be of help-- http://www.uflib.ufl.edu/ps/Circ/cir...ltpatrons.html Last edited by Taltarzac725; 11-03-2013 at 09:02 AM. |

Maybe he has Asberger's, a form of autism. Folks with this don't have the social cues that most of the rest of us do. OR maybe he has a form of dementia. There could be many reasons for this behavior that make him seem strange. I think perhaps you need to make some firm bounderies from now on.

Social skills are so important. As in, perhaps, take turns exchanging chat? The other day I was going into a club waiting outside. She just went on and on. I got up from my chair and said I needed to stretch!

Sometimes when I get a call from one of these two friends, I put it on speaker phone and do the dusting. We all have our problems. Sweetie has me. OH. You meant me, didn't you Nitehawk?

Personally, I would be firm with this person and ask that he leave you alone, to give you space and the freedom to do what you want. If he doesn't listen, I would get a restraining order of protection unless he is just a lonely person and harmless.
Everyone should have the freedom to do what they want, with whom they want and whenever they want at this stage of our lives. Anything less is infridgement of your happiness.

OP, I am a little confused, which is an improvement over most days. Are you saying that you are OK with sharing time and space with this person but you just want them to quit talking so much or do you want them out of your life completely?

If you need this, here is some more information.
Kinds of Restraining Orders | LegalMatch Law Library
I really doubt if this is anything but a man who likes to talk and is looking for someone just to listen. I have had that happen a lot at various places here in the Villages especially. If it is more then I would definitely get the library involved as much as possible. Above is a link to kinds of restraining orders if it comes to that. If criminal plotting or any kinds of actions are occurring on library property I would certainly inform them about your suspicions. They could be held liable if they knew about it or should have known about it. |

Villages PL depending on what desired outcome you seek there are a number of options for you. No interest in this person tell him so as tactfully as you can. don't mind this person except for his obsessive talking tell him so and set some boundaries. Curious about why he is an obsessive talker ask him why tactfully. Finally if you just want to ignore him then avoid the places he frequents. All this speculation bout who is he and what motivates his action is well specualtion
