Search Results: asking a guy to a dance

So I'm a sophomore in high school, not exactly looking for a relationship with anyone at the moment because I just went through something with this other guy.
This freshman started talking to me about 2 weeks ago and asked me out last week, I said no because not only did I see him as a friend but also I didn't want a relationship with anyone. He said he understood, but ever since then he's been following me around everywhere trying really hard to get me to say I like him. He asked me to homecoming and I said no, for the same reasons I said no when he asked me out days before, but that didn't stop him from separating me from my friends to dance with me (very awkward dancing). Overall he just came on extremely strong, I was fairly uncomfortable with it.
Today he texted me with a big ass paragraph apologizing for being so On all night, and that he fucked up a lot because he liked me so much. I said it was ok and that he was just a little much, and asked for a little bit of space. Did I handle the situation well, or do you think that asking for space from this guy was rude?

• Your partner drinks as an outlet. Drinks about 2-3 beers before work/after work. When they go to the bar they buy another 2-3 big mugs of beers and some shots. They always drive home buzzed even after having a previous DUI. But they know how to handle their alcohol. Smokes cigarettes as well. They go to bars about 4 out of the 7 days of the week.

• Goes clubbing frequently. All their friends are single and you've only been clubbing with them once. You are all about them having fun, however they texted you they danced with a girl and to think whatever I want because I had a friend there watching him. They then added the girl on fb the next day. Tried not to let it bug me but it was weird to me.

• When not out they play video games all day. Live with their parents still at the age 25. hasn't finished school and no career plans. Just trying to pay off debts.

• They message a specific opposite sex friend on facebook a lot and they like each others posts a LOT. Every time you see their phone buzz, this persons name is always on there. I mean 3-4 days you see their name on there. You asked them who they are and they say it's their best friend however you never met this best friend. You check out the convo and they're talking about stupid things however your significant other is the one initiating all the chatter and talking all day and all night. They talk to the friend more than they talk to you.

Where do you set the boundaries of talking and entertaining the opposite sex? I'm all for having friends but if I haven't met them and you are talking all day and all night I see that as an issue. I dont talk to my opposite friends that much unless I'm asking a question or setting up a group hangout. I know my limits. My ex said this girl had a boyfriend but why is he entertaining her and sending her emojis but never to me? It's just social media and text, yeah who cares but I felt like I was on the back burner. I don't know what are your opinions on it?
