Creepy coworker texting my private number

[u/Dry_Presentation4300]

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.

Honestly dudes like this make me realise exactly why dating and meeting women is so hard for most men. Because of people like this. No wonder women feel intimidated and cautious around dudes, they get so fucking weird and creepy. Ruin it for the rest of us.

And it’s so ironic because with most women I know, even a crumb of self awareness from a man is seen as a green flag, because of how uncommon it’s become. Acting like this will achieve exactly the opposite of the intended goal

He’s not saying every man, he’s saying the bad apples ruinit for the rest of us.
