verb - the act of putting an individual's AIM name on
one's buddy list, yet never attempting to communicate with
said individual. Stalkee
may never learn of stalker's existence, due to chronic shyness and "
pussy"
like behavior often exhibited by stalkers that are watching prey of the opposite sex. A favorite activity of stalkers (which often plays a large role in stalking) is the habitual (some
may call it psychotic or obsessive) checking of stalkee's AIM away messages.
Advanced cases of AIM stalking has odd effects on the stalker. They
may develope an unhealthy sense of companionship (most likely as derived from frequently checking away messages) due to their familiarity with stalkee's schedule, favorite activities, and computer habits. Stalker
may subconsciously begin to refer to his
target as his "girlfriend" even though stalkee, of course, has never met him. (Pronouns can of course be reversed, but aim stalkers tend to be male, according to a Princeton study www.princeton.com/studies/papers/sociology/aimstalkers.doc)
