Hello first post so bare with me I need some advice on this situation (please forgive my grammar)

I (19f) have been friends with my other friend (19m) who we will name Kevin for this post for about 4 years. We met in 10th grade and became quick friends because we had just come out of the Covid year and spent a significant amount of time together due to being in a technical school. During our time in school he was very kind and I enjoyed spending time with him. He was very genuine and had never once made me uncomfortable up until recently. During our senior year of high school we ending up not spending as much time together because he decided to go on co-op learning. We ended up graduating and we lost contact for a bit but during that time I still saw him as my good friend. After we had graduated we ended up reconnecting and spent some time together not alone but with other friends also. During our time apart he had changed significantly he was still kind but there was sometime different about him. The more we hung out together the more he had seem to change for the worse and it was slow at first but during a recent interaction I feel it has gone too far.

I want to give some examples of why I want to cut him off. The first one is me and the other friends (18m) who we will call Ricky and his gf decided to go on a small trip to an outdoor store. Kevin offered to drive so Kevin and Ricky were in the front seat and me and Ricky’s gf were in the back seat. Where we live we have a TON of backroads the Kevin decided to take, on these back roads he decided to speed and go about 80-90 miles on the road. I spoke up about how I was very uncomfortable with that and so did Ricky’s gf he decided to ignore us and continue like that until we got to our destination. When we talked to him about it all he said was “welp” which made me uncomfortable bc it showed that he didn’t care that he had other ppl in that car with him and was responsible for our lives. Also during this trip it was also revealed that he had a crush on me which didn’t bother me but I made it very clear that I was not interested.

For another reason after it was revealed that he had a crush on me I felt as if he was trying to get me to act like his gf. Trying to sit next to me and stand near me a buy my stuff for me as a bf would. Once again I made to clear that I was not interested and I only wanted to be friends with him. He would invite us to hang out and usually I would be down but there would be times where I would say no and he would be very pushy to get me to go. He would beg for me to go and would even offer to give me money so I would go. Which to me was a little uncomfortable with bc no means no. Another example my friend Ricky had invited us to a water park and I was completely okay with it at first but as the date for the trip came up it was revealed that it was going to snow and I was not comfortable with driving in the snow. Kevin made it very clear that I was ruining everything by not wanting to go but I pointed out how last time he was driving I felt super unsafe and it wasn’t snowing how does he think I was going to feel now that it was snowing.

For that last example and the reason why I made this post was bc I went to a monster jam with Ricky and his gf he was invited. I made it very clear to my friends that I was okay with him going as long as he wasn’t sitting next to me and was the farthest seat away from me. During the drive Ricky was driving it was okay and I was having fun for that most part. We went to that monster jam and that was pretty fun he did not sit next to me and I enjoyed it for the most part. Now what happened afterwards is what was the problem we decided to go to Applebees after the event I did not want to go bc I made to clear I did not have money to pay bc I’m trying to save for school I made this very clear and Kevin said he would pay for I I was ofc very grateful. That being said when we got to Applebees I and Ricky’s gf thought we would be sitting together bc of my discomfort with Kevin. Ricky ended up telling his gf to sit with him and not with me meaning I would have to sit next to Kevin. I want to make it clear I talked to Ricky multiple times about how I was uncomfortable with Kevin. So him deciding to do that made me upset but I seen it was maybe I had to sit next to him because he was paying for my meal. I was a bit uncomfortable and was on the phone most of the time. Now during the meal is where I got super uncomfortable Kevin was making multiple uncomfortable sexual remarks to Ricky which NO ONE thought was funny. This went on for most of the night at one point I told Kevin to wash his hand and when he left Ricky completely changed and talked about how uncomfortable and how disgusted he felt with the sexual remarks that Kevin was making. When Kevin came back the continued the remarks and everyone brought it up if he could stop but he didn’t.

For me this was the last straw of him making me comfortable and I think I want to cut him off or go no contact with him AITAH?

Please if anything is unclear or if I didn’t make myself clear of anything ask questions and I will answer to the best of my ability
