16/f there's this guy, eric, who goes to my school and we have a bunch of mutual friends. i know he's liked me for a while because he would always try to flirt with me but he never did anything about it until about a week ago. we ended up hanging out with a group of friends and me and eric somehow ended up cuddling and looking at the clouds. he asked for my number and he would text me every few hours just to see what i was doing. then he started calling me "baby" and stuff and at school he would have his arm around me or be holding my hand and a couple of days ago his friends started calling me his lady. eric and a couple of his friends hang out with my group now. he refers to me as his girl but today after school he showed a whole different side of him. first everything was good, we were with a couple of friends and we were cuddling and just talking then we decided to go on a walk then he was pushing me, trying to look down my shirt, lifting up my shirt, bringing up his ex girlfriends, telling one of our friends how he was in charge in our "relationship" at one point i even said "we're not in any relationship. we're friends and thats it" and i walked away and he would follow me. every time he would try to touch me in an inappropriate way i would tell him to stop and he would for a little bit. i still feel very disrespected. respect means a lot to me and he made me feel something i never want to feel again. i feel worthless since he was treating me like some type of toy. i get along with his friends and a few of my friends who witnessed a few things don't like him anymore. me and my friend ended up going home and i was really mad, i didn't say bye to eric i just said bye to my other friends. we go to the same school and i have no idea what to do about him. he text me a couple of hours saying "hey" but i didn't text back
I think you need to drop Eric completely, apart from a polite hello if he is with your group of friends.
He doesn't seem to have good relationship skills and the poor behaviour he has already displayed has sent alarm bells ringing in my head, so I hope it has in yours too.
If you are too friendly with him again, this whole thing will repeat itself.
Usually guys with anger / relationship issues start nice, then get a bit irritable, then blow up majorly then go quiet and apologize and try and be nice, and then get irritable and blow up again, and the circle goes on and on.
There are many really lovely guys out there who will NEVER treat you like that. I am pleased you respect yourself a lot. Keep hold of that respect and don't drop the level that you have, because it is a good one.

BUT since hes texting you so much, im guessing he wants to get to know you and he might like you. so to show him that your not gonna be waiting for him all day, just kinda ignore him a little. not in a rude way but make like you have more interesting things to do instead of letting him play with your emotions. if he thinks your not interested he may stop being such a dick or just tell him hes being disrespectful.
I talk so much! i hope this helps<3 [ BalletArtFreek766's advice column | Ask BalletArtFreek766 A Question ]
