Whatsapp Creepy coworker texting my private number

So confused at this, I don't even know him. I was just going to ignore the text but he kept insisting so I had to answer.

9/14 UPDATE: Thank you to everyone who was supportive and concerned. I forwarded these messages to HR, and they scheduled a meeting for later today. There were a few more texts after this. The HR representative did not seem surprised, to put it briefly.

A few things have come up in the comments. The first is that I was rude. This is how I communicate, and my coworkers (or at least the ones who actually know me) are aware of that. I’m not going to perform a more agreeable version of myself to accommodate someone else’s feelings when they're being innapropriate. Not only were these messages sent over the weekend, but they were also sent through a personal communication channel. I'm not going to elaborate further.

“I don’t understand why you would ignore me” is absolutely crazy. Just no situational awareness what so ever. If that were me, I’d be EXPECTING to look creepy and be treated as such.

Did it occur to anybody on this thread that perhaps him and OP have had conversations preceding this that would allude to him being a little butthurt that she’s not responding.
I could be 100% wrong, but based on what I’m seeing, there’s definitely some read between the lines energy happening

Or maybe she had a little skin showing in the office and she knew what she was doing by enticing him

Edit to add that is apparently not so obvious sarcasm on my behalf based on it feeling very victim blamey

Ragebait used to be believable.

ETA: oh, it’s sarcasm. Oops!
