Personally, I could see this being one of two ways:
-
Someone actually was acting creepy or dangerous, and you either didn’t pick up on it or didn’t see this person/behavior as threatening.
-
What might be more likely is this guy making up that excuse to try and get (extra) 1-on-1 time with you. Or him trying to come off as a protector/savior, which I would consider a red flag (or at least yellow).
Look up “Visual FX Artists React” on YouTube. And Captain Disillusion. You’ll learn A TON about stuff like this from them!
