Am I the asshole for not going to church because a guy in his 60s wanted me to be his girlfriend
I (F about to be 30) stopped going to church because a guy (M in his 60s) was getting me to be in a relationship when I was starting to get used to driving when I was 25. So I was still going to church while I was 25 and while I was getting used to driving a guy from the same church I went to said that he wanted to help me get used to driving. I accepted it because he was a church member and usually church members are trust worthy.
We started going on trips and he was helping me get used to driving. During the time I was getting used to driving he took me to date spots. I started getting uncomfortable at this point and to making it worse he asked me to be his girlfriend. I said "Maybe if you were my age." He asked again and I said "Yeah, if you were my age." He didn't hear the second part and started calling me on my phone ans started calling me his girlfriend. I explained that I wasn't his girlfriend I never was and I never will be and that he was too old for me.
When I got my first car he tried to take a ride with me a few times and I started to back off. I also started to be blunt and honest and I saw him as a pervert. I told my family about it ans my therapist about it and they told me to avoid church and tell the pastor about it.
I told the pastor and his wife about it and they talked to the guy about. He completely lied about and said that he was just being helpful. That was a bunch of bullshit because I heard it and witnessed it.
I tried to avoid him ever since and it got to the point of me stopping in going to church completely. When he tries to call me or if I see him I make the conversation brief and I set a wall between us and I think I stopped him from contacting me completely. Thr guys is the reason why I dont got to church anymore.
Am I the asshole for not going to church because of a guy in his 60s and probably heading into he's 70s by now. When this happened it was 5 years ago and to this day I'm still bothered by it.
