Should I apologise or just forget about it?

I'll start by saying that I don't pick up on social clues very well and never say the right things.

Anyway, I'm worried that I've scared someone by being a bit full on and well, odd. I genuinely don't mean anything by it but in the past it has caused me problems where people misunderstand my intentions.

I was chatting to someone today on a bus and then we walked to the carpark and I followed them to their car instead of saying goodbye and going to find my car. And now I feel really embarrassed. Should I send a follow up just apologising or just leave it? Would they be more creeped out if I follow up? I should add, I didn't meet this person on the bus, it's someone I know and see every week but haven't known them long and it's a professional relationship I suppose. I had seen them earlier in the day professionally but just so happened to be on the same bus as them later on.

YANBU to apologise
YABU to apologise you're just overthibking it

I pressed YANBU by mistake, sorry! But I agree with PP it would be much more awkward to text them and apologise than just to try and forget about it.

@AnnieLande one must be strategic in the crush stages to lure them in Wink
