"Are you an idiot or a stalker?" Meredith says to her inquisitive half sister Lexie sometime early during the fourth season of "Grey's Anatomy." It's a harsh question that's rather out of place for the situation (I mean, wouldn't anyone be curious about their newly discovered half sister?) but a good general question for anyone who has ever unabashedly (and sometimes quite aggressively) sought the attentions of someone she likes...usually meaning well (but maybe not always.)
I like to give people the benefit of the doubt so unless someone is waiting outside your house every night to catch a glimpse of you or calling you on the phone and hanging up, I'm not sure you can call wanting to be someone's friend or asking them personal questions "stalking." I am sure, though, that when you're very young and possibly in love (or at least thinking you are) that you can have the best intentions while doing some of the most thoughtless things ever...
I'd at least like to think that you can be forgiven for these kinds of things and that the answer to Meredith's question leans more toward "idiot."
