Unwanted texts from a taxi driver

So judge me as you will, I had a weekend off from my teens. I walked to a garage to get wine very silly n dangerous n when a taxi driver picked me up I was overly grateful because I saw how stupid I was. He charged my phone n put his number in there as friend and since then he has been messaging me n calling me. Asking if I want picking up. Or am I free he has chocolates. This is scaring me. Because no one is attracted to a drunk person. I'm overly nice n I txtd back saying thank you for your kindness. N I appreciate you getting me home safe. I'm scared cuz I've ignored all his msgs n I heard someone bibbing really loud outside my house tonight. Do i report him to his base? N face retaliation or hope he gets bored. I've blocked him. But I wish I didn't. Because at least then I could see if he's forgotten about me or not

Report to the base and to police. Have you got any friends you could confide in?

Were you visibly drunk while you were walking to get more wine? I’m just not sure why someone would pull over to pick you up just because you were a woman walking to a shop. Why did you even need your phone charged? It’s a weird story.

I’m assuming you were properly drunk and stumbling along so he pulled over to pick you up. Do you remember everything that happened? Are you sure he didn’t do anything while he had you in his car?

I’d send a very clear “please stop contacting me, I do not want any contact with you” message and if he doesn’t stop then ask the police for advice.

No because I'm so embarrassed I put myself in that position in the first place. I was wearing my pyjamas bottoms I am absolutely mortified n yes that is a different issue entirely that I will be addressing. But what if he's just a guy who doesn't know the etiquette n I get him sacked? Or he does know n he comes after me. He knows where I live. My head is spiralling. I shouldn't have blocked him. I should have monitored it.

I was definitely visibly drunk. I called a taxi to take me to the garage it didn't come so I walked. N then they called n asked me where I was I told them n this taxi driver came. I said thank u so much I'm an idiot n he put my phone on charge in his car n put his number in my phone as friend. It was only a five min drive from there to mine. I don't recall anything untoward. Just that. But he msgd me the day after saying r u ok I said yes thank you I appreciate you getting me home. Which is a taxi drivers job but I was full of shame at how I'd put myself in danger walking the streets. He msgd saying ur so nice. N I gave something for you. I looked a state. I was drunk.

'Have'
I messaged back saying thank you for your kindness but I am ok. I should have messaged saying thank you but I can not continue to message further. I just froze. So many scenarios in my head.
