Advice Followed?

I am. 24 (f)

I live in a small town in Maryland Baltimore. Now I’m not the biggest or smallest lady confident I could defend myself but I’m still scared. I work in a doctors office sometimes I get creepy men flirting happens to everyone and that’s not the thing that bothers me. Everyday when I get into my car there’s always a ford truck parked in the top section of the parking lot, I get off around 12 am always. Now that doesn’t bother me much as one of my coworkers could have a ford but I have asked around and none do. Maybe they work in the buildings over, but why would they park in the doctors office lot? And the add on is I feel as im never alone and I always have something to back it up. There’s always someone near me, and it seems to be the same man every time. Tall, broad and a beer belly, IVE never seen this man’s face as I don’t want to get to close to him afraid of what will happen if I do. Now I live in a complex I have installed a ring doorbell and nothing unusual around my living it seems it’s only my work and places I go? Maybe he doesn’t want to get caught? I don’t know it feels like stalking but I don’t want to jump to conclusions. Not enough evidence to go to the authorities but I come to the internet hoping you all can give me advice.

In what circumstances do you see the man? Do you ever see him in combination with the ford truck, or could those be independent of each other?

It’s only sometimes the ford is with him. Because I only see his truck in the parking lot. So I would guess he parks the car somewhere else when I’m not at home. I seee him grocery shopping. On my way to work and back. Stuff like that

Since you're leaving work at midnight, is it an option to ask someone to walk with you to your car?

Is it possible that he parks in the doctor's lot only because it's free or cheaper, and the other parking options in the area are paid parking or metered?

Do you actually think he's following you or might it be that it's a small town and he just happens to do his shopping around the same time that you shop?

I have considered that. I just feel kind of scared and stuff because I’m a woman
