Summary:
31-year old Jacqueline Ades is accused of breaking into her date's home, bathing in his tub, and sending thousands of disturbing text messages to the man's phone after one date. This was after the victim saw Ades in his house via security camera footage while he was on vacation, after which he called the police. A large butcher knife was discovered in the passenger seat of her car. Ades allegedly sent about 65,000 text messages to the man’s phone. The victim said that she sent about 500 text messages to him a day.
In one of Ades’ messages, she allegedly stated, “…Don’t ever try to leave me…I’ll kill you…I don’t wanna be a murderer.” She also said that she wanted to wear his body parts and bathe in his blood.
Ades was arrested on charges of threatening, stalking and harassment.
Opinion:
A lot of people frown on double-texting, but what about 500 texts in a day? Not going to lie, I'm kind of jealous. This guy basically got 21 texts per hour, and I can't even get a "you up?" All jokes aside, this woman needs help and belongs in an institution. I can't decide which of her actions was worse, saying that she'd bathe in his blood and wear his body parts or her incessant texting.
If you've just met someone, what's an acceptable amount of texts to send them before a reply?

This is so out of pocket haha. I think double texting isn't necessarily a bad thing because it's possible that they either got your texts late or just didn't see it. Even triple texting is acceptable, but pushing it. This case is ridiculous though. I can't imagine going through that mentally. If you pass that 4 text threshold, you are desperate and come off as a stalkerish person. Usually, you can tell if someone doesn't vibe with you by the way they respond or don't respond. Clearly she's an outlier though.
I think that this incident is actually really scary because I can't even begin to think what if that had happened to me. It'd be frightened to receive threatening messages and the amount of messages she was sending was insane. This woman is definitely dealing with her own issues but I hope she can get the help she needs. I don't think a number of times one texts is that big of a deal but I understand the whole debate about whether one should double text or not. I think that 2-3 texts is acceptable, but 500 texts is definitely excessive and can come off as clingy or stalker-ish.
I'd say that 2 is the max. 3 is pushing it, but only if one's sending like 2-3 long texts like a hi + 2-3 long texts is too much of a pain to read. 500 is definitely a red flag, she probably needs some therapy. It's amazing that she had 500 things to say to a stranger and even more incredible that she has the energy to keep doing that. Definitely desperate and creepy.
This lady is crazy! I'd say 2 is the max and really should not go after that. If someone does not respond to you people just gotta learn that they are not interested in you or the conversation. I feel bad for this guy and would be pretty freaked out. I'm sure this girl has some mental issues going on but she definitely went too far with the threats after a date.
Obviously 500 text messages in a day is way too much. I'd say one text a day is normal for someone who wants a text back. Anything more would just come off as creepy and desperate.Clearly something is wrong with this woman and needs to seek help immediately.
i think more than 4 was already an issue if they only went on 1 date together AND the guy wasn't responding. I think the guy should have told the police sooner about all the texts this lady was sending and the threats, because something could have happened to him at his home.
I believe that with that amount of text was not acceptable as there was a clear disconnection between the two after the first date. I feel that the man should have given the lady a response to tell his opinion and if she continued on and on that he should have gotten the police. It was a clear sign that with the first overabundance of text that something was wrong and he should have tipped the police then. If I were to say the max amount after a first date without receiving a response would be ten short ones just trying to see what was up and to let them know about your own situation.
I think she needs a lot of help because this seems like a psychological issue. This is kind of scary to think about because it could happen to anyone and if he didn't see the footage of the surveillance camera he could have put himself in more danger and she could have been even more obsessed. It's a good thing that he called the police and they caught her. I think the number of texts does not matter if it during a conversation that both party agree to then you could send a lot of texts but if the other party doesn't engage in a conversation then 2-3 tests is the most someone should send I think.
I don't really have a comment on double texting, because I'm apart of communities where it's okay to spam your friend 50 messages before they even get to respond. Although that is mostly done out of fun and not actually the need to get an immediate response. But 500 - 65,000 is pure insanity. She probably should have her mental state checked up. Her behavior reminds me of someone who's really obsessive and possessive, so I think some rehab would be good for her.
I definitely thing this woman is crazy and needs some help. Texting is one of our generation's way of communicating. However, the amount of messages this woman is sending to this man is excessive and it's not something I would call normal. I think that for someone you just met, one text is enough.
This is a really creepy incident, and I believe that texting is one of our generations many ways of communicating with people. I think about 3-4 texts should be reasonable. Not 500 like that person. It's frightening if someone is sending you 500 messages.
I agree with the statements that this is more of a psychological issue rather than a person being clingy. I don't really care if somebody texts me more than once in a row. If it is important enough for you to need to text me, there's no reason why not, unless of course you plan to send 65,000 messages. I think this situation can bring insight on online dating and the dangers presented by meeting random people based only off of looks. With this method, you don't know the person you are meeting and situations like this can occur.
This incident demonstrates psychological issues that are more revealing in ever in our current society. It is interesting to me the close correlation that technology often has with obsession and stalking. Furthermore, there are little restrictions online, making it easy for people with the intent to stalk to find more information about the person.
