Here is where we reach a point of stupid social rules; if someone is perceived to have gone out of their way to meet someone they are automatically 'creepy'.

He is not just running into me as a neighbour might. I hope I am not being paranoid, and that is what I was worried about, hence the plea for advice.
Is he socially competent? Doesn't seem like it. Is he dangerous? Probably not. Do you have to entertain him if you don't want to? No, just tell him "no" and buy curtains.
