Is it normal that i am still afraid

I had two weird experiences with guys. In first case, he never ask me to be his girlfriend but I keep getting asked out, one to one or we hang out with his friends.

I did not know that he is emotionally distant at that time(I hinted I was interested in him) until after 2-3 years I decide enough was enough(had basically given up hope); felt we can still be friends.

Suddenly, one day he tried to touch me, I moved away and was cold to his questions. He blamed me saying that I don't want a good guy like him. He didn't really try to find out why I was cold to him. He got a gf very quickly after that.I was really sad.

Shortly after, I met another guy, he has a sideline selling cosmetics/supplements. He tried to convince me to join under him. I wasn't interested.

One day I have Eczema, so he said this cream is very good and asked if I want to get it. I said I don't want. So he says he has a sample, I said don't bother. In the end, he decide to bring the cream to me(He stay not too far away). Thereafter he keep texting me to ask if my skin is better and so on...acting sweet.

He will usually text twice a day, in the morning or afternoon and at night.

One day, I was so intrigued that I just mentioned did you get the cream just for me. I could see the look of terror on his face. He stop texting and vanished.

One day he contacted me after I stop reaching out to him. He said he is interested to go to a place I mentioned before. I brought him there and I waited outside. When he came out he looked so pleased that I was waiting. We had a nice chat at dinner and then he vanished again.

Long story short, there came a time after he saw me somewhere, followed me to talk and vanish, and then try to contact me again after a long time. I ignored that text.

All this happened a long time ago, 7years, so is it normal that I am still worried/ terrified when a guy tries to befriend me now. Thank for reading this long story.

    You say he didn't bother to find out why: why didn't you just tell him what was going on with you? Guessing games in relationships are a sign of immaturity and unwillingness to learn to communicate clearly about one's feelings.

    All this is 7 years ago? Time to move on, way past time to move on

    You win a few; you lose a few.

    The first guy just wanted sex with no strings. Maybe he was married. The second just sounds like a creep.

    I'm sorry you had these bad experiences, both of those guys are jerkwads, but not all guys are douchebags. I would say the best policy is better safe than sorry. It's better to get to know someone in a group setting before hanging out one on one, and ALWAYS have your own transportation.

    first guy sounds like the common "good guy" douchebag who expects your pussy in exchange for doing something nice for you when you never asked, second guy i have no idea. sounds creepy and suspicious though.

    not all dudes are like that though, surprisingly there are guys who mean well, it's just sometimes difficult to find them. if you're nervous meeting up with guys you could always bring a friend along in the first couple of times meeting him and go from there.
