  Stanley is

in

love -

or

is he? Is

this

really love?

Mar1< his

best

friend,

is

worried about Stanley.

Why

is

Mark worried

s

soon

as

Stanley saw Lisn,

he

thought she was the

most beautiful woman he d ever seenl That s

okay

I mean, she

really attractive, but I think he s going too far. He told me that

U

secretly likes him. but that she s too shy to admit

it.

That s a littl

weird , because she s not shy at all.

Now

though,

I m

getting really

WOffled.

Stanley

was

tal

ing about Lian, and said that

he

was thInking about calling

her.

thought. good, he s finally being direct , And he said that

it

was

better to call her

at home than trying to talk 1 her al work. Whe

asked if she

gave

him her number,

he

said

no

that

he

looked a

the employee files

 

• We re really not supposed to do that.

Lisn

is

really cute, but I think she might have a boyfrien

and, to

be

honest, I don t think Stanley

is

her type·,

I ve

go t

a problem. My best friend, Stanley, has never

dated anyone, and he s kind of shy and sensitive , and now

he

says

he s madly

 n

love

l

with a woman. Her name

is

Lisn, and s

recently started working at the department store where Stanley

and I work part-time.

The other

day

Stanley told me

 I ve

got to find out more

about h e r ~ And I thought, oh you re gOing to ask her out? But

he didn t ask her out. He secretly followed her home from work

find out where she lives I thought, oh no, this

is

weird, and I to

him he shouldn t do that - that he could gel in trouble,

He

told

I

was overreacting , that

he

was

Just

curious about

her

I don t know what I should do. I tried to talk to him abou

it but

he

just got mad and stopped talking to

me.

I don t know

he

has called Lian, or whether she

even

knows that he

hkes her

think he might

be

turning into a stalker ,

  How Stanley acting toward LJan?
