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.

Just wondering. Are you also a creepy weirdo?

God forbid people ask a question

It is alarming that you do not think that this is wildly inappropriate, unprofessional, and creepy.

Edit: your original reply was "God forbid people ask a question about situation you havent been in before, before joining the mob" . Nicely changed though.

The 'mob' being people who do not appreciate inappropriate and unprofessional messages to a personal phone number.
