Should I feel insulted?

Went to a friend's party last night. At some point later in the evening it became apparent one of the guests was interested in me (started being very touchy-feely). He insisted on walking me home; when we got there he kissed me (until I told him to stop) and was clearly angling after coming inside, although I didn't let him. I was a bit concerned he wasn't going to be easy to get rid of, as he seemed quite determined he was going to get what he wanted. Told me I was amazing.

Received a message from him this morning basically saying, "see ya" - clearly he has no intention of contacting me again and was only after a shag.

Even though I don't have feelings for him I feel quite upset that he was clearly planning to sleep with me and then dump me in the morning - am I overreacting? For context, I have been single for a long time and had some shit experiences with men, including them not hearing "no"; this is no doubt influencing how I feel.

Hang on, OP. From what you say, exactly the same behaviour (which to me sounds as if you have blurry boundaries — no one ‘insists on’ walking you home, you let them, no one kisses you unless you want to kiss them) — being ‘touchy-feely’, “insisting on’ walking you home, ‘forceful’ kissing — would have been fine if his message this morning had indicated he wanted to see you again?

Personally I'd be more annoyed that he forced his presence on me, and think I had a lucky escape.

Yes, I am annoyed (and a bit upset) about that, but it seems worse that he was persistent just because he wanted his leg over, rather than because he actually liked me.

Also I didn't realise how many he had had to drink. Anyway, lesson learnt.

You have no idea if he actually likes you because you want to play games.
Why should he keep flogging what he believes is a dead horse?

If you like him just message him.

Why don't you just put this experience behind you, op? It's not as if you were in love or even really friends. Nothing much happened, no one really did anything wrong (though he might have liked to).

I'm pretty sure he meant to write, 'I had a lovely evening'
Missed out the I and his phone autocorrected to have
Your response in the morning probably made him confused
Confusion all round
Best let this one op

I think you need to put it behind you now because now it's going back to his actions again, and I'm sorry but if a guy was that forceful with me, I wouldn't be giving it a seconds thought about him fucking off ( although I still don't think that's what his message implied)

Anyone who would be forceful with me I would not be pondering potential 'what if's?'
