I had a WoW stalker.
Admittedly, he was a very young teenage boy, so you can't blame him. But WoW became a constant stream of questions that made long long walks become even longer walks. Instances became very difficult, cos I'd be healing people and answering the poor kid at the same time.

He brought me to a lake and fished for some deviate fish, and made me savoury deviate delights, which go for a lot of money. It was truly a romantic event in World of Warcraft... While my boyfriend hid behind a tree and ran from cover to jump up and down and run to the next tree.

One moment in particular was hilarious in retrospect. I was in my hometown of Thunderbluff, when here comes a PM:
B: Feanor, I have something to tell you.
F: What's up?
[at this point I must note that English wasn't his first language]
B: My hearth is broken.
F: Your hearthstone? Logging out and back in should fix that.

B: No, my hearth... You know... In my body.
F: Oh, your heart?
BAM. Shit. I'm in the middle of the most excruciating conversation ever. My lack of course was pissing himself laughing upon hearing this.

A big conversation of "no, don't say you love me, you're a kid and I'm a female tauren - who likes them?" I go on to learn that he loves my RL name - my name, not me - and dreams about my name - not me. It was one of the weirder moments in my WoW career that I won't forget.

Length? Months. That's as condensed as you're getting it, buddy.

I feel your pain.
I had a several dodgy encounters on a game called Dofus like that, just being female on that led me to be chased by teenage boys while I was trying to do alchemy. One pmed me repeatedly asking me to marry him. I find playing call of duty 4 online alot more fulfilling nowadays.

see now...
I've had a good WoW romance. Good as in "had positive real-life consequences, wasn't unreasonably weird, didn't at any point involve pretending our characters are doing it too."

I've also had someone who, after a shared instance, rerolled to my class (druid) and began spamming me all day every day with "Which bit of gear is better?" "where should my talent points go?" "Do you want to see a photo of me naked?".

Thanks, but you're 14 and I'm not [that kind of] weirdo.
