Which stalker type pursues an intimate relationship perceived as true love, with possible delusional disorder?

• A. Resentful Stalker
• B. Predatory Stalker
• C. Intimacy Stalker
• D. Psychotic Stalker

Answer: (C)

The key idea is the stalker who fixes on a romantic bond and believes it’s true love, even if the other person doesn’t reciprocate. This pattern, often marked by obsessive thoughts and misreading signals as a mutual relationship, is what defines an Intimacy Stalker. They pursue closeness and contact with the conviction that a genuine romance exists, which can include delusional aspects at times. This fits best because the central motive is seeking an intimate relationship framed as love, not revenge or sexual predation, and not simply slipping into delusional thinking about someone without the romance aspect. The other profiles describe retaliation (resentful), sexual coercion (predatory), or broader psychosis not centered on a imagined romantic bond.
