Get that slime a restraining order. If he tries it again, attempt to gouge out his eye.
I'm not joking.
Or if that's too extreme, kick him in the groin. Twice.

Sister... Selam aleykum.
To tell someone isn't admitting defeat. See, he is already the looser for doing this. This is not a game or fight, this is being abused and treated badly off, with no respect and just taking it in by yourself... That'll only make the abuser happy. They think you are weak and you won't dare to talk with anyone about it. They want you to not tell, to fight by yourself. They have already hurt you deeply. This scar will be burning for a while. You need help, you need protection. What he needs is being dealt with. Like any other criminal. You are not the one who is weak or defeated. Real men don't rape, those who do are loosers, they are the weak ones. He is not a real man and doesn't deserve to have you alone as an opponent.
Think this through and I still request you to tell to someone, inshaAllah.
You must talk with someone, get it out. Otherwise you'll surpress it and that'll cause you even more pain.

Hmm... Now I see how you would consider that to be an "insult." Oh man! [I remember someone warning me about this: when a hundred people say something hundred different ways, they all think there's one hundred different views---even though there's only one.] It's obvious that we're not both talking on the same plane. True, you didn't get what I said. As I don't know enough about you, you don't know enough about me either. Khayr then.
If I thought you were "naive lil girl," I wouldn't have even bothered posting. I value time and I value people's dignity. My goal from this post was to help you become an outstanding person, even if I don't know you.
No need. I wouldn't want you to list anything. It's not about what "I" or "someone else" thinks. Who are we to do anything? It's YOUR life and you're in control.
It's very interesting to me. Do you know why? Because that's not the first time I heard it. People don't "get" what is said at first. They say: "Why are you being so rude?" Because they're used to everyone being "nice" to them.
So when I say something that doesn't rhyme with their comfort zone, their first instant reaction is: "It's you! Why are you saying that to me?" instead of thinking about what's being said.
Later on, when they are quite and calm, they dig a little deep, and to their surprise, they find out. You may not forgive me now. But I have full confidence that you will, insha'Allah. I'm not gonna pity you or feel sorry for you. You deserve more than that. And I'm not going to lower my standard just because you don't "get" me right away. I only hope that you raise your standard and become the next version of you.
Because I still have "limited" access (as I just learned about this forum yesterday and the only folder I came straight to is "Advice and Support" because I know how that helped me in my life and I have confidence in me as how I can help others), I've asked the moderators to delete my previous two posts. I don't care a bit if my posts stay or I am perceived as being insulting. What matters is that you raise your standard and let this experience shape your life in a way that you become a stronger, a more confident, and more resilient person--a truly outstanding slave of Allah.
May Allah forgive us and grant us great success.

Ok. A moderator has asked me to explain it a little more. So, here goes:
As human beings, we tend to stay attached to our familiar surroundings. Familiar places, times, environments etc. help us become comfortable in our "comfort zone."
So, whenever there is a need to change, we CAN'T, not that we don't want to!
Let me give you a very simple example: let's say Fatima wants to memorize the Qur'aan. OK?
Now, Fatima has been wanting to memorize the Qur'aan for a long time, but she never got herself to do it. She says: "Gosh! I really want to, but I just don't know how I can!"
CAN she memorize the Qur'aan? Yes. (Because she's an "A" student)
WILL she memorize the Qur'aan? Hmm... That's exactly the point!
For Fatima, the EFFORT & DISCIPLINE that is required to memorize the Qur'aan is much greater than NOT memorizing it. Does that make sense?
In other way, what is she trying to avoid? She's trying to avoid the PAIN of disciplining herself to do this. In her mind, that's too much.
Is she having any current pain? Oh, sure. She can't give reference from the Qur'aan properly. She recites the same surahs everyday--there's no joy in her recitation during prayer. When someone quotes an aayah, she feels bad that she can neither translate it nor continue on to the next aayah.
As of now, enduring those little pains is easier for her than to go through the discipline and effort of memorizing the Qur'aan.
Are you following me so far? Yes? OK.
Fast forward 5 years. She's in college now. And she's super-duper active in da'wah. Those tiny little pains that she used to be okay with, now have grown so large that they're unbearable for her. She can't take it anymore. NOW, the PAIN of those things combined is much more powerful than the pain of required effort and discipline.
On the flipside now, what's the pleasure that she's trying to gain? She will be able to recite anywhere from the Qur'aan, without looking! She will be able to give references now very easily. She will be able to make her salaah so sweet by reciting a different page everytime. She will be able to sharpen her Arabic and be able to understand the Qur'aan. She can teach her kids Qur'aan and help them memorize the Qur'aan very well. You see, the PLEASURE she now can have BY memorizing the Qur'aan is much more powerful than the PAIN she would have to endure.
Now, what does that have to do with anything?
We---human beings, every single one of us---do EVERYTHING for one of two reasons:
1. To gain pleasure or
2. To avoid pain
I mean EVERY single second of our life, this is true. Why are you reading this long explanation? Because you thought by doing so, you'll know something---maybe (PLEASURE). If you didn't read this long explanation, you might have missed something---maybe (PAIN).
Why do yo eat? pray? sleep? talk? keep silent? go out? get angry? be nice? pursue a degree? anything?...
It's ALL either to avoid pain and to gain pleasure. Of course, as Muslims, our ultimate motivation is to gain Allaah's pleasure and to avoid His punishment.
Let's take a quick example from this thread (it's just an example to make the point clear; the example itself is not the whole answer)
She doesn't want to tell her parents. Why? Because doing so will mean more PAIN. Someone suggested that when it goes too far, she will have no choice! Why? Because at that point, the PAIN of NOT telling them will be much more than telling them about it. Makes sense?
Anytime we procrastinate or dwell in a disempowering action/pattern/behavior, we think that taking on a new empowering action/pattern/behavior will be much more PAINFUL. So, we follow the same routine, do the same thing, yet expecting different result! (That's called "insanity.") However, when we reach our threshold, when we can't take it any more, when we've had enough, when we're fed up with it, THAT's when we change. Isn't that a little too late? Majority of the time: yes.
But the good thing is: we don't have to wait until it's too late. We don't HAVE TO reach that threshold. If we take a look at ourselves with brutal honesty and face the reality, we'll figure out exactly what's stopping us. Why am I still in a bad situation? Am I not feeling the PAIN strongly enough? Is my current temporary PLEASURE going to let me end up with sever PAIN in the long run?
Just like Fatima, just a little bit of reframing can be very powerful. What would be the short-term pain for Fatima (in memorizing Qur'aan)? The short-term PAIN would include getting up before fajr, and not being able to stay up late at night and chit-chat (just two quick examples). What would be the long-term PLEASURE? Having the Qur'aan in her heart. Being able to do what should could not do before. Knowing that she could raise her future kids with the Qur'aan.
If you're lost, don't worry. The first time when I learned it, my head was spinning (well, not literally. But I didn't get it the first time). So, just give it some time.
Anyway, insha'Allaah, let me stop the explanation here. Let everyone decide for themselves. This explanation is not only for this thread. This would probably apply to any thread where there's a mention of any kind of change. Even when someone sticks to his or her false belief (including religious belief), the same thing applies. Abu Talib could not give up the temporary PLEASURE of status and respect from his tribesman; he avoided the PAIN of being ridiculed by his tribesmen; so he chose temporary PLEASURE and eventually ended up with endless PAIN.
By the way, it's never about the other person (no matter how much we rationalize it or put the blame on their shoulder). It's not about what he or she could, could not, did, or did not. It's always about me. Ask yourself: "What am I doing?" Because at the end of the day, I am responsible. Allah will ask me.
The question is: am I ready?

I am sorry to hear of your ordeal,but one can get away with their actions if you allow it.I dont think anyone is judging you,the guy obviously really likes you,and is being a pest.Like the others have mentioned dont let him anywhere near you.I mean he obviously behaves as a menance in private with you,would be good if he did offer a proposal to your father,to which you can decline quite publicly and sooner or later he will get the message loud and clear.Understand you dont want to create trouble,but please stand your ground and state there will be dire consequences if he ever tries such a thing with you again.
Be strong and hope that this will be the last of it.

Salaam Dudette, Me personally thinks...
1) You should just change your dijits, That way yeah you won't getting any pranks blah & oly give it out to your tightest mates
2) Dun't even walk tha way he does, just Spllluuuuuuuurt =D Like just run a mile if you see him
3) I personally think he should get jumped, buh thats just me =( I would tell someone close. You shouldn't have to fear that he'd du something erytime you see him. What an imbecile. Eurgh.
4) Its not your fault that he's mentally challenged, so just pray Allah be his guide. Now that you know that he's just a shallow lil' fool that got nothing better to do then chirpsing and having gurls all over him, just forget about him.
5) Remember you can't control his actions but you can control your own InshAllah. Let this be a lesson for all. MashAllah it takes bare to control your own nafs, so in a way be happy as meny would've given in.
6) Smilings =)
Braaaapppppp!!!!

Jzkilahkhyr to all.
Sharif I have forgiven you. I understand that u meant no harm, ur (recent) post also made me think alot. Thanks for ur time I appreciate it.
Sangeeta, tnks but I dont think that I wud want him to come to my Dad and ask for my hand, even if its to reject it. That will not disencourage him.
Al-Zara, Jzkilah but I just wanted to say that I have not been"Raped".
Muslimgyal Jzk sis, ur sweet!
Salam sister-Islam. I am feeling fine sis. How ru? Thanks for asking dear sis.
I am now on vacation wit my family, I'm jst enjoying my time wit them. I dont want any drama nor any sort of pity and spoil our vacation. So I havent seen him round. My friends told me that he's planning to come and ask for my hand when we're back. I already told him that he shouldnt...We'll see.
Andd I dont need a Shrink, Allah will Suffice.

Awww Allah bless you...Yes i am fine but thinking about you...have fun on your vacation. try not think about it. You deserve this holiday. Dont let him ruin it... have fun..bond with your family.
If he comes to ask about your hand to your father, You can tell him that you dont want to and your not ready. It is simple but please tell your brothers or someone close. This is very hard to be quiet about...
just have fun and dont think about it. Hope allah is in your prays and answers them. Inshallah when you come back home, everything will cool down...
I never said you have, it was just an expression. To feel raped can be emotional and physical, and it doesn't even need sexual intercourse. Anyways.
InshaAllah whatever you do will turn out to be good for you. May Allah protect you inshaAllah and save your family from harm! Amiin.
Selam aleykum.

Assalamu alaikum,
Even if he is extremely good looking, that does not excuse his behavior or give him a right to act like that. But maybe he can tell that you find him good-looking and that spurs him on. I understand that you were offended by some of the comments posted by the brothers, but I think it is necessary for you to clarify your interactions. You live near each other but is there a way to avoid each other or are you somehow forced to interact because of circumstances you cannot control?
