First off, I'm not too sure if this is the right subreddit so if you don't mind kindly redirecting me to a better suited one, that would be great.

8 pm last night I met up with a girl to sell her an event ticket. On the bus ride back home after meeting her, I decided to visit my boyfriend at work instead of going straight home. I got off the bus and I briefly caught a glimpse of a van pulling in from right behind me. I didn't think much of it as it parked in front of the store as I opened the store door. 

So, I walked in, greeted my boyfriend as usual and watched 30 secs of Modern Family - until he walked in. He walked in and greeted me by my name, asked how I was doing, and did not break eye contact with me with a really unsettling smile. Even when my boyfriend asked him if he needed any help finding a specific brand of protein, he still kept his eye contact with me. At first, I thought he might've been a highschool teacher or even a professor - but I've never seen him or met him before. Nothing was familiar about him.

 I felt uneasy. I didn't like the way he was staring at me with those crazed eyes and my boyfriend didn't either. He was over weight, had some stubble, looked to be about 35-40, wore framed glasses, was balding, and honestly... He looked really creepy. His van was even more creepy. He left without us questioning him because I was still processing the situation. 

 My boyfriend has been on edge ever since this incident and insists on driving me everywhere and never letting me go anywhere on my own. I'm quite paranoid but I'm not sure if my boyfriend is overreacting or not. He's been fixed on scrolling through sex offenders pages to see if he shows up on the registry. 

How can I show him that I can protect myself to put him at ease? What are some measures I can take to protect myself against potentional creeps? I really hope I'm overreacting, but there really was something off and scary about that guy...
