I met a guy on tinder last week. He was very persistent about meeting me, which was honestly kind of a turn off and I should have seen that red flag. Whatever. It was Thanksgiving, I was lonely, and I had recently gone through a pretty sad breakup. I wanted company. That's it. I never led on that I wanted to sleep with this guy or anything. In fact, I barely talked to him before I agreed to meet him for a drink. Okay okay. I know. It's my bad for inviting a stranger over but I'm kind of a recluse, it was Thanksgiving, so a lot of places were closed, and i knew my neighbor was right next to me, and the walls in our apartments are paper thin if anything happens. Okay. My mistake. Lesson learned, believe me. So, it happened. He came, he was sorta cute, complimented me on my looks, and immediately began laying it on pretty thick. He grabbed me and kissed me, which stunned me... and he even at one point commented that I didn't seem into it. "Yeah, because I just met you," I replied. "Fair enough," he said. He kept groping me; sliding his hand up my shorts into my underwear and inside me... grabbing my breasts and forcefully trying to pull my straps down. I kept asking him to stop because I thought he was going to rip my shirt. I was so past uncomfortable to the point where I was scared. He kept asking if he could stay the night and I kept telling him no with the reasoning I gave before. I just met this person an hour ago. He was being nice and smiling.... but being very persistent and forceful. I wanted him gone. As soon as I started to express this, he started to get hostile, which scared me even more. I told him I had just been drinking wine for Thanksgiving all day and that I just had a headache and needed sleep because I had to work the next morning. I tried to be nice and calm so as not to upset him. He continued to plead with me to stay the night, saying all he wanted was to hold me. Finally, I got him to leave. He even told me he was disappointed. Lol. Sorry. I had no intention on ever speaking to this freak again, but acted like I did so as not to piss him off. At 2:30 am, he left my house and at 7:30 am the calls started coming in. What? What is happening?! I ignored them and he began texting. He was nice at first, telling me I'm sweet and that he liked me and wanted to see where this goes. No way dude. I continued to ignore his texts and go on about my day. Around 9pm I dozed off and was woken up at 1am because my phone kept ringing. He called me over and over and the texts above are what I woke up to after a day of ignoring this person. I was/am legitimately scared and concerned. This is not ok. This is not normal. This person knows where I live and I'm scared he will hurt me or someone else in the future. I am posting this to raise awareness. This is not ok.
