Feeling traumatised after a first date and want to know if I’m overreacting?

Long story short, I’ve been talking to this guy on an off for awhile we have mutual friends we live not too far from each other, but this was the first time that we had met in person. I find him attractive physically and during our first date I did get a little tipsy but as the days have gone by I’m starting to remember things that happened and a lot of things don’t sit with me. On an emotional and maturity level, we are definitely not aligned.

So firstly, I was the one who was driving on this date. He told me he had a problem with his car so I had to end up picking him up. I’m not judgemental so I did it. He is a drug user whereas I just drink occasionally but I only realised on our date what he’s really about. He yanked my hair while I was driving several times and I started to get annoyed and told him to stop. the first time it seemed a bit playful but then he kept doing it and harder. I have long hair as well. To me, it doesn’t matter how comfortable I make you feel because I know I give off that vibe. I just think the line was crossed there firstly. he’s also five years older than me so I’m not sure if he just likes to feel in control.

We went to a restaurant and he just kept trying to kiss me and in a very intense way it wasn’t like just a peck on the lips. It was very full on and I felt uncomfortable and I told him to stop because we’re in a public space. I’m also someone who’s quite introverted so you can imagine that This is out of my comfort zone. He kept saying to me why do you keep pushing me away. He seems quite chaotic and during the night he did have moments where he would kind of trauma dump on me about his childhood and stuff but like I said I know I have that nurturing energy and people tend to feel safe around me, so I didn’t mind it.

I’m not sure if I should’ve drew the line here, but we ended up going back to mine and just chilling out for a bit we did have sex. After a few rounds, I was literally done for and he was finding it hard to finish and told me this was because the cocktail of drugs that he had done which causes him problems in that department. But it literally got to a stage where my body could no longer take it and he kept trying to continue. I told him that I can’t do this anymore and I’m in pain and he proceeded and at one point I was literally just lifeless whilst he was still going. After he ran out of energy, I literally had a panic attack in my room. I think this was due to what my body had just been put through I was pushed way over my limit. I’d literally never felt like this after sex during any point of my life. He wasn’t aware of the panic attack. But my body literally went into shock but it’s only as days have gone on that I’ve realised that this isn’t okay. I’ve literally been in pain for three days. I’ve had to work from home because I could barely walk for the first two days. I’ve also noticed the way that he talks to other women in his life is just atrocious and he also has some deep mother wounds so this could play a role in his behaviour.

I’m just not sure how to feel about this all. he has checked in on me several times and just keeps asking me if I’m okay but doesn’t go into depth about the night. as my memory comes back to me he clearly knows that something was wrong. I even had a really emotional moment last night when thinking about it all and I’m usually a tough cookie so I’m not sure what happened. but how do I proceed with this moving forward?

I’m not a confrontational person and I don’t want to start drama with him .

OP, firstly I'm really sorry about this. It must have been horrible for you.

But, i am a little bit confused as to what happened...

You were driving, but you got tipsy, but you could hardly remember what happened? Do you think your drink was spiked?

He tried to force himself on you, you said no, yet ended up back at yours having sex with him? Do you think you were drugged?

GarrynotsoGorilla · 17/12/2024 11:35

So sorry for the trauma you have been through, no person should ever treat another like that. I am sorry to say this but He raped you. That simple, you need to get professional support and help, and strongly consider reporting his actions, even if you do not wish to take it further. I hope you are able to give yourself space to deal with the emotions you must just be unraveling right now. I hope in time you will be able to recover from this. Good luck. I am sure plenty of others have much more practical advice, but just want to wish you well.

Mysticguru · 17/12/2024 11:36

You need to bin him off. I'd stay single for a while if I was you and do some work on yourself.

He's a drug user so the date shouldn't have happened in the first place.
He pulled your hair whilst driving more than once. You should have kicked him out of the car.
He tried kissing you in public without your consent. You should have left the restaurant.
He continued sex when you asked him to stop. You should have screamed rape and called the police.

Do I need to go on anymore.

That sounds like a really traumatising experience. I would advise moving this thread to the relationships board as you will get a lot more advice and empathy from people who have experienced similar.

NCForSexFrm · 17/12/2024 19:31

Astonished you're asking.

RUN AWAY.

burntheleaves · 17/12/2024 19:33

Everything about this is a mess.
How did you come across this guy?
Yes at the first point of thinking he was weird you should have stopped the date
Were you driving whilst drunk?
Were you drugged?
He raped you.

Buttercup198 · 17/12/2024 20:09

So weird you was driving but was tipsy ????

You knew he was acting inappropriate before you had sex but had sex anyway ?? You can't remember what happened this isn't normal if you was only tipsy how much exactly did you drink did you leave your drink unattended with him at any point??

VoodooQualities · 18/12/2024 09:23

Sorry you went through this, it sounds awful.

Get the basics sorted first: recognise to yourself that no good will come from keeping this relationship going, and send him a short message to say you'd prefer not to see him again. Don't go into details, as it'll just give him a reason to try to continue to talk to you. From what you describe, he's a bad man and isn't worth your time.

Then take time to heal. Whatever that means to you. Confide in a friend/sister maybe if you have one you trust. It might take some time to get over it, or since you're a tough cookie you might be able just to chalk it up to experience (as awful as that sounds).

As others have said this does sound like rape to me, whether you want to take that aspect of it further is not something people on Mumsnet can advise you on, only you can decide what to do about that.

PinotPony · 18/12/2024 20:45

You poor thing, that sounds like a horrendous date.

Firstly, please block this guy and never see him again. You don’t need to explain or let him down gently. Just get rid. He’s not good for you and will hurt you again. You deserve so much more than this.

Take some time to heal. Nothing that happened was your fault. Keep reminding yourself of that. If you still feel anxious about what happened, ask your GP to refer you for some counselling or call Rape Crisis.

Finally, raise your bar. Bad boys are exciting but drug users who are mean to you should be given a wide berth. There’s plenty of nice guys out there who will treat you well.

TheDeftSwan · 19/12/2024 19:18

Man here. You know the answer to this. Flags were raised and your psyche also feels off. Don’t see him again he’s bad news
