If we're being honest, this behavior is not atypical. Many men tend to escalate when faced with rejection. In this case, he went the creep route. Others escalate to violence or, at the very least, pertinacity. In any event, boundaries are disregarded.

I never tire of snarky essays on Poe.
"It's weird to be human, even as we're unable to compare it with, say, being a macaque or an orchid. We lurch from crisis to crisis, and what knowledge we ever arrive at is likely to surprise us."
