1. the cost of living is too high in the cities where I would probably find my stalkees. I would have to work a job or two to support my stalking which would cut into my stalking time.

2. I hate making eye contact. I think Establishing Crazy-Eye Contact is #1 in the Stalkers Handbook.

3. I wouldn’t know what to say. Stalkers have a good crazy opening line. I’d draw a blank or say something stupid like “looks like rain”, and might end up in a conversation with my stalkee which might lead to a friendship which would ruin the whole stalking dynamic.

4. I hate standing around just waiting for a dinner reservation. I imagine stalking is that times 100.

5. The light’s probably bad wherever I’d be, and so reading while stalking is out.

6. The stalkee probably would not live up to the hype.

7. Have you SEEN the price of gas lately?
