I don't know what else to do at this point, and I'm hoping to get some additional advice from someone out there on the internets, as this is gettng quite frightening!

As quite a few of you may know already, I'm a single woman living by myself (no roomates). I walk to and from work, and usually work the same shift every day. Over the past few days, I've been stalked by a man who follows me on my route. He doesn't know where I live or where I work, but he knows the route I take to work and the neighborhood I live in, which only has one entrance/exit.

Every morning, he waits in his car about halfway through my route, and demands that I get in. When I refuse, he repeats his demands, usually with things like "Baby! Come on! Get in!" or a variation, and often with "air kisses" in my direction. I'll continute to refuse and walk away, but he'll drive alongside me on the opposite shoulder (I walk on the opposing traffic side of the road), continuing his demands. Eventually, he gets the idea that I'm not getting in his car, and he drives off...Only to show up at the entrance to my neighborhood that evening waiting for me, where the scenario repeats.

Under the advice of a neighbor, who witnessed this man harrassing me, I'll be writing his tag number down if I see him again and call the police. I didn't see him this morning, because I got up and left an hour earlier, and another neighbor gave me a ride to work. I worry that he may still wait for me in my neighborhood tonight, though.

What I want to know is, aside from recording his tags and calling the police, is there any other protection or precautions I can give myself? Anything I can do to make sure this doesn't escalate into me being attacked by this man? I would rather be paranoid than injured, raped, or worse.

Thank you in advance for any advice you can give me!
