LolAtMyPosts tells us more.
For those who care, no, I didn't give him my address, I'm not an idiot. He just knows the city I live in, because I'm sure I've mentioned it during a group chat. He and I are NOT in a relationship in any way, shape, or form. I barely know him. He's had this weird obsession with me for a while. We talk about once every other day, and have two types of conversations. The most common is: 'Hi, how are you? Good? Glad to hear you're good. Have a nice day.' And that's it. The less common and more creepy is him asking: 'Can I buy you stuff? Can I have your address so I can send you stuff? Do you like jewelry? I'm going to come visit you ;)' He doesn't know my real name, nor do I know his. He doesn't know what I look like, only what I sound like on a mic. We only know each other through our gaming community, and nothing more. :/ I have broken all ties with him, and deleted him off my friends' list (because that's the ONLY way he could contact me). Dude needs to grow up and get his head checked.

He will get a nice surprise when you tell him no at the front door. Stay strong. Your comfort is more important.
You know what's almost as creepy as this guy's behavior? Saying that if she ever gave him her address or they have some kind of relationship, then she "deserves it" or "invited it". As it happens, those things aren"t true in this case, but what if they were? Giving someone your address means you consent to receiving letters or packages and you trust the person not to abuse that information, not that they're entitled to your space and you'd trust them to share your space. The attitude that if she gives out any info she should "expect" it to be taken advantage of is the same mindset the guy is operating on.
Exactly. I've got plenty of online friend's addresses because I've sent them presents or they've bought things off me, even at early stages of friendship. Doesn't mean it gives me any right to pop up at their places and stay with any of them, even if we are good friends it's something that would have to be agreed on. Say this guy is a psychotic pervert, and something does happen. Does someone really deserve it? No, regardless of the situation people do not deserve to be raped or murdered. Hopefully nothing will come of it OP, and if he does show up, don't let him in. If he can't take no for an answer then he's probably not going to respect you, it doesn't matter if he has nowhere else to go.
Maybe you shouldn't be that close to online friends ? Would be mighty hard to find you , even in a small town ..
Sounds like Zazu and Codex.
Ah staplers fun huh? I have had 6 of them. Last one I told him I use to be a man to get rid of him.
if you decide to meet him meet him somewhere PUBLIC with friends so you're not alone! I met a guy once and it ended badly. please be careful!
Not just public place, if you ever have to meet with someone and you aren't comfortable, even if it's just an ex to get some of your things back, do it at the police or fire station. Witnesses who are trained for emergency situations if something goes wrong, and just good intimidation to make sure it doesn't.

Did you give them your address? If yes, YDI. If no, FML. I don't like giving out too much personal info to people online. There's a good chance they're not really who they say they are.
Looks like he'll be on the streets for a while
