Input: A guy hit me up on Instagram and apparently took a liking to me. Basically it was just us complimenting each other back and forth. Both of us also have an interest in art, so we chatted over that. In the midst of our conversation, I told him this:

Me: I'm gonna help my mum with some stuff. BRB.

Guy: Oh okay, come back soon though.

(Few minutes later)

Me: I'm back.

Guy: Wow, that was quick. 

Me: Yeah, was just bringing things into the car.

Guy: You know, I was kinda sad that you had to go offline to help you mom.

Me: What, why?

Guy: Why you think?

Me: I'm not quite sure.

Guy: OMG nevermind 🙄

At that point, I was kind of weirded out. But continued chatting with him as he seemed interesting.

Further into our chat, he starts telling me how I'm cute and how he's never liked an Asian girl before (I'm Malaysian, he's American). 

At one point, he wanted to call me baby girl. I felt that it was a little too fast for him to call me that yet, so I just told him that I rather him call me by my name rather than that. All of a sudden he starts getting mopey and dramatic, pretty much beating himself up for messing up a chance with me (which he pretty much did).

Then I don't know why, I decided to give him a "life lesson" on the differences of culture, like what's socially normal to him may not be socially normal to me (considering we're both from very different parts of the world). Then he promised himself that he wouldn't do that again as long as I still like him (I never said I did. We were just flirting back and forth). 

I then decided that I he wasn't really interesting anymore because he seemed really weird and insecure to me and blocked him on Instagram. But kind of feel bad because he made a promise. So am I the asshole?
