Wondering if I came off too strong.

I had a couple of conversations with this guy like a year ago. We spoke mid-week, once or twice and he asked if we can meet in person for a date. I told him that I will try on the weekend if possible.

Next evening, he called me 5 times. I had friends over and couldn’t pick up. He left a couple of texts. I had a lot of work and was on call with my boss till 1 am and then slept so I didn’t respond.

Had a big meeting the next day and while I was rushing to get ready, I get another call from him which I ignored. I barely reach work and my dad calls me that he got a call from the guy saying I am not responding to him.

He calls again in an hour. I pick up and yell at him for involving my father and tell him I have a busy day and would talk to him post work.

I reach home in the evening and by the time I’m out of the shower there are 3 missed calls. I call him back and tell him I’m not interested in taking things forward with him. He kept apologizing and kept asking me to reconsider. I said a hard NO and told him not to call or text again. One hour passed, and bloody hell he us texting again. So I blocked him.

Fast forward, a year I get 2 missed calls at 9 PM yesterday night from an unknown number. I called back and have trouble placing him. He reminds of the events from last year and wants to connect again. I just lost it and called him a stalker and told him that I will report it if he contacts me again.

He didn’t find my Dad’s number. He already had it due to a mutual acquaintance. However, what makes me angry is that he reached out to my Dad to get me to respond.
