I'm having a bit of trouble getting someone out of my life.

Some background info~
When I was in high school, there was a guy that would follow me around. At first, he was nice but kinda gave me that feeling like I shouldn't be around him. A gut feeling, it's kinda hard to describe. He knew me through my best friend, who thought it was "cute" that he had a crush on me. I don't think he had too many friends, and might've been lonely. Eventually, he asked me out and I said no. After that, he started following me, almost stalking me. He would be at my locker every morning, follow me to classes I didn't tell him that I had, and walk with me out after classes. The more he did this, the more the bad feeling I got around him increased. He was hoping that I would change my mind. I don't think he got the message that I didn't want to be anywhere near him.

I used to try and sneak to and from my locker as much as I could and try to get to classes as early as possible to avoid him. Eventually, I snapped and told him to leave me alone. It worked for awhile, thankfully. He graduated and I didn't hear from him until the summer, when he started to call again. Each time he would call, I would remember all the stress and the nightmares that I used to have frequently would come back. Part of me still felt kinda bad for him, so I was polite and ended the calls as soon as I could. He asked a few times if I wanted to get together, of course I said no.

The calls became less frequent, and now he doesn't call much anymore thankfully. I'd really like him out of my life. I feel like he is lonely, but talking with me isn't going to help either of us. I'm not comfortable around him at all, and can't help but think of what I went through before. Even a friendship wouldn't be possible. He doesn't seem to get the message though that I don't want him in my life.

I can't get a restraining order, and I can't get change my phone number. I feel like no matter what I say, he'll keep trying. It's very frustrating :/

Is there anything I could do spell-wise to help?

Any ideas or advice would be very much appreciated

Why can't you get a no-contact order?

Out of curiosity, why can't you change your number?

And why not just block his number when he calls? Plus if you tell him to leave you alone and he doesn't, call the police and file harrasment.

I think you need past documented history for that. I'm not sure, but I think since he's only really been calling, it wouldn't count as physical harassment. Mental/emotional harassment maybe? I think a restraining order is more for physical harassment, like if he was to come to my house or where I work and harass me.

Edit* We have a land-line phone, I don't think you can change the phone numbers on them? o.o Or can you?

I'm pretty sure if you called your phone company you still could.

Most land-line phones also have a "block" feature as well. If it's not included with your regular service, you can usually subscribe to it as well.

Block his number an send him a certified letter saying you don't want him to ever contact you again. Once he signs that he accepts the letter, you have physical proof that you have told him not to contact you.

If he keeps doing it after that, take a copy of the certification, a copy of the letter, and doctumentation (phone logs etc) to the police.

Exactly what I was about to say.
