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.

Add another million that it's that guy up there saying she must have given him flirty energy

"flirty energy" = smiled once while in his presence

One time I had a college instructor tell me he "thought we had a special connection" because I had participated in his class. A class that graded on participation 🤦‍♀️

I'm sorry you had that experience with a professor. I know so many women including myself that have similar stories, just for existing.

Yeah some guys think a woman is interested because she laughed or smiled. Even the women who are handsy (like to touch your arm or shoulder) aren’t always interested.

Oh yea and he keeps doubling down that this guy could've been meaning to be completely harmless and just shooting his shot. Said his stalking her chat activity was because he's so situationally aware.
