So, I'm only creating this post because this keeps bugging me and I need to get it out. I work in a store, so there's lots of people coming in and out all the time. This new guy, bit older than me, I think, started coming in a few days ago, only speaking english (I'm not from an english speaking country, so sorry if the grammar isn't fully correct). I'm one of the few at work who manages english well, so when this guy needed help with finding stuff I jumped right in. We talked for a little while, he seems like a nice enough guy, no red flags off the bat. We had a few similar interests and the convo went fine. Then he just drops the bomp saying "I need friends." With those little puppydog eyes. And asked for my number just holding his phone out. So I was taken aback by it because we had literally just been talking for like, idk 10 minutes?? But because there were other customers around, and we are NOT allowed to act or seem rude in any way, I gave him my number. I didn't think much more of it, but then just some hour later he texts. Just a regular 'hi'. I say hi back. Then comes all the compliments. That I'm an awesome person and he really wants to get to know me better. I try to brush it off and just says 'thanks'. Then comes the worst part. He asks if I want to come over after work. Again, we had talked for 10min irl. I panicked and said: "sorry, I live on a farm and I got animals to feed so I gotta get right back home." In my defense, I didn't lie. I do live on a farm, but like, we grow veggies, apples and flowers. And I did have animals to feed. (Cats.) I even had to make it clear that I'm engaged. He seemed to let it go after that, no more texts except an 'ok'. Good, crisis averted. NEXT DAY: another text. Another "what're you doing? Wanna come over?" I panicked and just blocked the number. Didn't even reply. Here's why I feel like an AH. Like, I feel nothing is actually wrong with this guy. I genuinely believe he's nice and just need someone. I'm just NOT that someone. I was just trying to be polite and nice. In hindsight it was stupid to give him my number (my fiancé and favourite coworker are already teasing me for it so I'm getting punished enough for that already). I just think he might be socially awkward or something like that. But, asking a girl you just met to come over to your place is just the perfect way to creep the girl out. Unless you're 5 and met at the playground or in preschool. At the same time I didn't have the heart to tell him to stop and leave me alone, because I do feel a little bad for him. He's just trying. I know he'll likely come into my store again so I'll try to break it to him if we run into each other again. But so, AITAH? I really just need advice here.
