Anytime someone uses the word "Creeper" it quickly identifies the person as a Millenial. It sounds passive-aggressive.
The word is "Stalker" kids. A creeper is someone who creeps around at night.
A creeper is someone you suspect of being a stalker.
No, really; that's pretty much it. Someone who calls you creepy is expressing a sincere worry that you won't take no for an answer. No more, no less.
Upvoted for the concise answer, and for having the perfect handle under which to post it.

Socially awkward? Unattractive?
It's called stalking.
No. Stalking is a specific thing (for one, it has a specific subject) that is not what we're talking about here (generic behavior, amongst other differences). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stalking
