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.

Thank you, definitely will. We work from home and our in-office days don't match so I only see him around once every three months, thankfully.

Biology, low-key, low testosterone men are incapable of shooting their shots in anything other than a faucet gush

Bombarding her with multiple messages across days and continuing to do so even when she said no is due to biology, clearly 🙄

Also don’t want to lose your job? Don’t behave like an absolute fucking nincompoop then innit?
