I don't know anyone in this town, certainly not anyone I could/would call to come over and comfort me when nothing's actually happened and I'm just being pathetic.
Love isn't brains, children, it's blood, blood screaming inside you to work its will.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
I'd call the company if it is posible

they are not coming to comfort you - they would be showing up so you are not alone. You are not in a safe situation

I understand all the good reasons to call the company and I truly don't want to.

I don't feel like I'm not safe. I don't think he's going to pursue now that he's gotten a clear signal that I'm not wanting to - and jesus I really hope I was clear enough when he called me - I'm freaking out not just because of him coming on too strong in a situation when I really did not expect it - I'm freaking because (a) I feel like I "led him on" by not speaking up clearly when I became uncomfortable, the absence of "no" of course being "yes", and (b) because I wasn't able to speak up when I became uncomfortable.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Zenkitty, it sounds like this incident showed you a clear area that you need to work on, and that's a good thing. It's a behavior that can be learned, and now you know you need to learn it. Maybe self-defense classes?

Well, If you don't want to call the company. You need to make a plan rehearse what you you will say if he calls again or shows up . You have too much of the good girl going on to trust your instincts to protect yourself.
I probably sound harsh - but i'm worried

I think I need a good therapist, actually. If I can fucking find one.
beth, you are right. You're not harsh, the reality is.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Calling the company might help ensure he doesn't do this to another woman less able to set safe boundaries.
I am sorely disappointed by the cafe's mango smoothies. You don't put raspberries and cranberries in a mango smoothie. They don't work. Pineapple and banana with orange juice, but make sure there's enough mango to predominate. Save your berries for another smoothie. I did get a free smoothie out of my disappointment, but it still wasn't good enough.
