I told DJ what is going on and he is not very happy. I can't say I blame him, but his wanting to call the guy does not help me. I don't think that would help me keep the professional relationship with this guy working. UGH!
I guess I need to go to lunch with this guy and try to hear him out. Maybe he is a normal guy who was going through something that made him act crazy. Keep your fingers crossed folks. I don't see this ending well.

IMO, the only way to handle people like this is to set clear boundaries yourself... even if it makes work weird.
My suggestion would be to NOT go to lunch, and instead send him a firm e-mail indicating that you insist that he let this go and you continue with your professional relationship, and that you do not want him texting or e-mailing you for non-business purposes.
He obviously has some issues, and in my experience, going to lunch and "hearing him out" will only make things worse.
This is exactly why I don't make friends at work, it's just too messy. I'm friendly, we have work-related lunches, but after hours, I have nothing to do with work-folk.
