What did he want from me? Stalked after nightclubbing

I'm 25 male. I went to a nightclub four days ago in downtown with my friend and some of her friends. It was a chill warm night. I had a great time there, dancing, drinking and all that stuff. Didn't drink much though. Even though I'm gay, this nightclub isn't particularly a gay club so I wasn't expecting to meet other guys.

I was on the dance floor and this guy seemed to make a lot of eye-contact with me. I didn't find him that attractive, he was too slim, a bit shorter than me, very pale, in fact I found him a bit creepy, his face, the way he looked at me but I was curious and it caught my attention that he was watching me, who knows, maybe he was gay and I may like him.

Time goes by, dancing with my friends I get away from him. It was almost 6am and it was time to leave. I'm going to the bathroom when I see him just getting out of it, we almost crashed into each other. I finished my stuff and when I was about to wash my hands, I saw him there again, he had come back to the bathroom. While washing my hands, I saw through the mirror he had his phone on his ear like he was about to call someone, looking down the floor. I just washed my hands and when I was about to leave the bathroom (he was next to the entrance door), he looked at me steadily, our faces were close each other this time. For some reason, something in his eyes, the way he looked at me, it was weird, terrifying and intriguing at the same time.

We left the club and said goodbye to my friends. Since I had wasted all my money, I decided to go back home by walking, it wouldn't be bad, it wasn't cold. This decision was my worst mistake.

After walking one block, surprisingly I found this guy with his friends. His friends got in a taxi and he just started walking on the way I would go too. I didn't know what to do. I thought that maybe I should find other way home so he doesn't feel like I'm stalking him. I didn't want him to think that I was stalking him, but also I thought it may be funny too, who knows, maybe he would say hi. I suspected he was gay since he had made a lot of eye-contact. I started walking, speeding a bit so that I reach him. He was walking on the sidewalk, the one in front of mine. Then, I noticed he saw me. I didn't want to say hi or anything, I'm shy. I just tried not to look at him, I was just walking.

Then he did a move. He just crossed the street. He was walking behind me now. Just some metres behind me. I just kept walking. We walked like 5 blocks when i decided to stop on a bus stop in a gas station. I wanted to know what would be his reaction to it. He just crossed again the street and looked at me. Again, the way he looked at me was weird, his eyes were creepy... probably that was just the way he looked at people, who knows, but I felt something weird . Then, he turned to the left. I was just standing up and watching him get away. I wanted to know if he would turn around to watch me. He did.

At this point I didn't know what to think. I decided it was time to finish this little "game" and just started walking my way home. I wasn't going to follow him, it was enough for me. Probably, he was shy too. I continued walking straight ( he had turned to the left), 1 block straight and finally I turned to the left. I lost him. Then I walked 1 block more and as I was walking, a car stopped. Right next to me. A man and a woman were in there, she asked "Do you have a lighter to lend me?" Don't tell me why, call me a paranoid but there was something wrong with those guys. I said No and she replied "How is it so that you don't have one?", it was an annoying question so I didn't say anything and just got away. The car just moved towards downtown.

Seconds later, almost 1 block distance I saw him again, this guy was stalking me again. Then, a guy riding a motorbike passed by and yelled at me "hey cutie give me a kiss". At this point, I was starting to feel uncomfortable. I'm not used to being cat-called and now this guy walking towards me, he had found me, but it was too much to the point it was creepy.

I just started walking my way home and turning around to see if he was getting too close to me. I noticed he was using his cell phone. Then I turn to the right, he turns to the right too. I stopped, as if I was looking for a taxi. I wanted to know his reaction. He did the same as the last time, he just crossed the street, and looked at me with those psycho eyes. He turned to the left and I started walking. Suddenly, this suspicious blonde guy ( maybe they knew each other and he had texted him to come) showed up, he was just walking and looked at me, but nothing serious to worry about actually. Then I see them again, the couple in the car, the same car that had stopped next to me and moved towards downtown, but now, they were on my way, opposite to downtown. Mmmh weird

This was the point when I was overwhelmed by all this situation. I started panicking, I just freaked out. WTF was going on? Why would that car change its way? Was it all just a coincidence? My instinct told me otherwise. LUCKILY I saw a taxi passing by. My first move was getting in the fucking taxi. I wanted to get away from there as soon as possible. I was in the taxi and saw this blonde guy sitting. He just seated in front of a house and watched me as I was passing by in the taxi. Why did he stop? He was walking, right? so why just sitting there watching me as soon as I got in the taxi?. That was suspicious.

But it gets worse.. the car that I had seen previous minutes before was now just right ahead of my taxi. Like WTF, why had it moved so slow? Were they stalking me too? or just a coincidence?. The car was moving in front of my taxi, it was like 5 blocks until I told the taxi driver to turn quickly to the left, and finally lost them. Creepy guy, lets not meet again.

It's never happened to me before. I've gone back home by walk after nightclubs several times before. I've never been robbed or anything. If he wanted to rob me, he would have already, dont you think? after stalking me more than 10 blocks, he had the opportunity.

I arrived home in panic. I regret not having done anything. I wish I had confronted him, at least telling him "Why are you stalking me?". What could that little freak have done to me anyway? but I was just overwhelmed.
