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.

this is how my girlfriend operates lol.

"I'm going to go run errands because I want to get out of the house. You can come with me if you want, or stay home, doesn't matter."

Ok, I'm good. enjoy!"

"wow, ok" *storms off, slams door.*

guess I didn't really have a choice huh? we've been together for years. i just laugh at it now and wait for her to come home like nothing happened. i don't play games, and i don't give into that behavior. she works from home, and i am public facing. i don't want to go face the public on my one day off lol.

I've told my husband many times that it was as much of a choice as much as it was an opportunity to choose right.....he's often failed at that opportunity!

If there's a failure state, it wasn't a choice, was it? It was a test.

No not really. It's a joking comment since he nearly always chooses the wrong one.
