Was this just a socially inappropriate person or something more?
I don't know it this guy was dangerous or not. About a year ago, I met this guy on the bus, let's call him David, while going to hang out with a friend of mine. I was at the bus stop in my village.
At first, he just asked me if the bus had already passed or not. Told him no then made it very clear I didn't wanna talk, headphones on, watching my phone... But he started talking to me again and told me he was trying to make more friends in the village. I said "okay" but didn't engage much at first, he was the one doing most of the talking. And I started talking too. He asked me to sit together on the bus and I said yes.
During the bus ride, he told me about how he created a little robot to bring him drinks, which I didn't think much of, because you buy a remote controled roomba, stick a mini fridge on top of it, connect the fridge to the Roomba's battery so it stays cool and boom. Also mentionned watching gore and doing some work with a mentor as he was "unstable". But then, he asks me what's my sexuality, to which I responded "mostly lesbian". And only after I told him I was lesbian did he tell me he was gay too. And he claimed he was currently in an argument with his boyfriend because he found him fucking his big sister in the bathroom. But then, he told me his sister was a girl I used to be friend with in middle school, and knowing that girl, she wouldn't have done that. But I just keep talking with him.
He was very cold and flat in his way of talking. Also, he kept forcing eye contact (I hate eye contact), and I have this thing when I’m uncomfortable where I sit really straight and give a little nervous laugh, and on our first meeting, without knowing me, he was immediately able to say things like “Don’t be uncomfortable” and “That was an uncomfortable laugh right there.”
We arrive in the city and he asks me if I can come with him because he is gonna try to ask people for cigarettes. After a bunch of "no" from people and reading them off to me ("this one did that, he was uncomfortable", "she did that because she doubted us), he gets one, and we go back to the city's bus stop where my friend was supposed to pick me up. And when she was introduced to him, she looked at him weird but did not mention it since. We did call on snapchat like 2 days after meeting, but I cut the conversation short by pretending I was going to my grandparents', the only thing that came out of the call was his ugly ass drawings of badly drawn anime characters.
A few days later, I get on the bus at the city's bus stop because I was studying at the university, and he happens to be on the bus. He tells me he broke up with his boyfriend and discovered he was bisexual and has a girlfriend. I didn't think much of it, until I realized he was lying with every breath he took. How? He told me he was the son of Tony Stark. Not RDJ, Tony Stark. And I looked at him and asked him "the french voice actor of Tony Stark?" (Cuz we french), to which he corrects himself by saying "yeah yeah, and he left my mom, he's a deadbeat dad".
David also said that his girlfriend would be waiting for him at the busstop. After talking a bit more, I went on to one of my special interests, music, and showed him musicians that were cool in my opinion. And everytime I showed David someone he deemed hot, he moaned. Out loud. IN THE GODDAMN BUS. I felt so dumb, how people looked at us. But then, when I showed him Victoria De Angelis and called her my celebrity crush, he said "she looks like a whore".
He then rested his head on my shoulder because he was "tired" and asked me in a little whispered voice "are you sure you like girls?" That moment still creeps me out today, but I showed him a picture of my crush at the time and he said nothing about it.
When we arrived at our village's bus stop, as expected, there was no "girlfriend" waiting. And David acted confused before asking me "well I don't like to walk home alone after 'Penelope' (fake name for intimacy, her family suffered enough) was murdered, mind walking halfway there with me?". I feel a normal reaction would have been to call your so called girlfriend and ask her why she isn't here when she said she was gonna pick you up, not ask a girl you barely know to walk you home because you are scared since the murder of a teen??
Now, you gotta follow me on this one. I accepted only because I didn't want him to see me walk away and know the global direction to my house, since the further you go, the least houses there are, so it is easier to identify my house. So I went.
Halfway there, he asked me "mind if we walk up to my house? I'm scared because I have to pass the graveyard where Penelope was murdered." And I was like "sure" because I know my village enough to know how to get to my house from the graveyard, and I know the junkies in the area that I am nice to, so they'll help me if need be. I say yes.
On the way, we pass by one of my friend's house, who used to be best friends with his "sister". And instead of just normally pointing it out, he yelled her name. "CAROLINE!! Oh, she must not be home".
We keep walking and what got to me was that after walking a bit, he said "my mom is gonna love you, and [sister] will be so happy to see you again". I was confused but he continued "and you're gonna love my bedroom, I have a collection of beer cans".
At that point, I understood he wanted me to come inside of his house, and I started stressing. I've only known him for a couple of days and he only asked me to walk halfway to his house with him, then insisted I bring him infront of his house, then insisted I come inside. I saw myself dead already. I was searching for an escape plan, when I saw my next door neighbor, who's child I do tutoring for.
And I was lucky it was the neighbor I knew and was friendly with, and not my other neighbor I don't know of. She started talking to me but looked suspicious of my "friend". After about 5 minutes, he started getting impatient because it was lunch time and he asked me if I was gonna walk him home or walk home with my neighbor, and I answered I was going with my neighbor because it was lunchtime and I was never late so my mom was gonna worry.
He nodded, we said goodbye and walked home while he walked back to his house. My neighbor didn't question it and I never told my mom but I can't help but wonder what would have happened, had I not bumped into a neighbor. Would he have locked me up? Killed me? I'll probably never know. After that, I started ghosting him on snapchat, and once in a while, I get a snap from him that I ignore.
He also gave me the strong feeling that he performed emotions instead of feeling them. It felt flat and performed. I’m a very emotional person, and usually I can hear emotion in people’s voices when they talk about things that matter to them, but with him it felt absent. He also never seemed embarrassed or remorseful about inappropriate behavior.
I guess I just need thoughts and reactions on this story, I keep overthinking it and believing the worst of it, I can get paranoid at times
