Will my stalking EVER pay off?

I mean, you peek in a guy's window everytime you go to the city, hang out in his mom's backyard after work, even pose as a repairman to get inside his home...and what does it get you? A big fat nothing. Hell, I rescued schoolchildren from an alligator right in front of his eyes and he just kept on walking. Should I just give up or be persistent and hope my dreams will come true one day?
