Not sure if I am overthinking this or if my gut was screaming at me for a reason.
Went out last night with a male friend I have known for a while. He has always been a bit flirty, lots of compliments, innuendos, that sort of thing. I have told him more than once I am not interested and to tone it down. He says he understands but then it creeps back in.
We had a couple of drinks and went outside to smoke. He kept insisting I finish the whole roll up. I said no a few times and he laughed it off and kept pushing. Something about that moment made me feel uneasy.
We went back inside and I suddenly felt very high, throat tight, vulnerable. It was just us two. For the first time ever around him I felt slightly scared. Not because he did anything overt, just a shift in energy. I felt like I needed to be on guard.
He went to the toilet and I grabbed my coat and left. I did not even think, I just left and ran. I have never done that before.
He later messaged saying he was worried when he came back and I was gone.
For context he has previously told me he does not want to be friends, he wants to sleep with me and wants me to be obsessed with him. He also gets angry when I mention seeing other men.
Maybe nothing would have happened. But my body told me to go and I listened.
AIBU or did I dodge something there?
at this moment in time I no longer want him in my life.
