Wait a minute, Marcus.  Why would those behaviors be stalking, absent any intent to communicate a threat!?

 

At the gym and I see a particular person from work over and over.   I go for a walk and I see them at St. Johns.  He is following me!  Or am I following him?   

In your example, depending on what was said at the bar or rowing machine, a witness might agree that it was consistent with stalking.  Was it asymmetric precise information about the `victim' pulled out of thin air?  Did it happen several times?

But we see each other and barely find the energy to grunt acknowledgement.  So it's plainly just a similarity.

By the way, have you ever read the book Enduring Love?  Ian McEwen.

No, but sounds relevant.
