Help me
I have got in a mess and I feel the familiar anxiety that I used to feel when I was single. I slept with someone 2 weeks ago. I met this guy back last year when H and I were on a separation. I was drunk and he was ridiculously effusive and flattering. Said he had fancied me for ten years (gave confirmation of where I used to work etc) and was just so over the top about how amazing I was that my head got turned. So I met up with him later and did sleep with him though there was no chemistry and I started to think he was a bit weird and intense. Not normal to be so over the top about someone you don't know.
Last week I was having my first 'single night out' and my friend and I were on a mission to pull (first mistake, I know) the night wasn't turning out great when I bumped into this guy. Drunk again, no inhibitions, went back to his. Again slept with him (second mistake) and he went on about wanting to see me again. I said this counldn't happen as I have just seperated from H and he just kind of dismissed how I felt. I didn't get a good feeling. So I ran away in the small hours but I did text him because I felt like a bitch not to. He has text me yesterday (quite innocuous, how are you) and I replied this morning (fine, busy, hope you are ok etc) and he's just replied. I don't even want to open it.
Now I know I have an extreme reaction to this but I feel panicky and anxious because I don't want him to contact me. I used to get like this before I met H. I think I settled down with H because he didn't make me feel like this.
So please tell me it's ok to reject him, and also kick my arse a bit about sleeping with him and being desperate and having shit boundaries.
Here's a red flag if ever I saw one - he said he loved me [puke] [panic]
