What Should I Do?
Today I was walking to my grandmother's house and when I was about 2 minutes away, a guy in a white truck pulled up and said hi. He claimed that he saw me at the store, but I did not recognize him at all. He gave me his card with his cell phone number on it and asked me if i would promise to text him later on in the day. I didn't text him, but my main question is, should I be concerned?

He sounds like a stalker. I mean, why else would he follow you from the store? Turn the number over to the police and ask them to do a background check on this guy and maybe check him out. And keep your location services off, 'cause if he is a stalker, he can very well track your phone. And be careful where you go. For all you know the guy could be a kidnapper or rapist. It's not normal for someone to follow you. You should be concern, but don't automatically think he's any of these things, you just need to consider the possibilities.

You don't say how old you are, but it sounds like you are probably far too young for this man to be behaving like this.
You should report this to the police. Maybe he wasn't trying to commit a crime, but it's reasonable to expect he may be. Tell the police what happened so they can have that information if they need it. He wont get in trouble for just talking, but God forbid, if something else should happen, telling the police will help keep someone else safer than they may otherwise be.
You don't need to be scared, but do be a good neighbor and put in the effort to keep others around you safe.
And of course, do not text him.

Given the way things are today you cannot be to carful. The fact that you do not recognize him says you should do two things.
1. Tell your parents what happened and give then this guy’s car.
2. Together you should call the police and inform them of this incident. IF this guy's intentions were other than honorable they may know about him. If they do not know about him they still may not want to look into this as stopping on the street and handing a girl your card and saying "text me" even in today's world is not normal.
If the guy was someone you wanted to meet then I'm sure you would remember him. By letting the police investigate you save yourself from whatever further actions he might take to get whatever he wants from you and other girls as well.
Make it a police matter and pay attention to your surroundings when you’re out alone. Program your cell phone for one button push too call 911 and keep your cell phone with you at all times. Most important is try not to be alone when walking especially at night.

I think you should tell your parents or whoever you live with what happened give them the card to call and warn him not to contact you agian... clearly he's been watching you at the store we shouldn't take stuff like this for granted. Tell your parents please
Hope I helped.
