Verbal abuse?🤔

Ok so, I'm friends with a bunch of guys, and this one guy, Alex whom I'm not really friends with but kinda have to be for the sake of our group, likes to talk to me on Snapchat and whatnot and text me. This all started about a year ago when I gave him my number, he would text me like 10x's a day and Snapchat me just as much. They were just simple heys. When I first met him in the beginning I got the quest feeling from him, but brushed it off. I stared to reply to his messages and they would start with hey and what not, then he started to ask me out and I'd always said no, then he would get angry and call me a bitch or whore cause I refused to. I would then not text him for a while and I'd get random texts throughout the week with him calling me a bitch, cunt, whore and that I was not being a good little girl by going out with him. 

A week would pass, and then he would send out this massive text apologizing and saying how that isn't really him and how much he was sorry. Then he would ask me out the next day, and my answer was always no. He would do the exact same thing, it was like a cycle. Ask me out, get denied, call me a bitch and whatnot, then apologize and repeat. He'd also be really judgemental on my life and decisions. Like I told him how I'm going to college and he got really mean and said that all women belong in the kitchen and that's where I belong not in school or out in the field. He said that if I was his, I would be locked in the kitchen just catering to his needs. That just creeped me the f out so I stopped talking to him for a bit.

I just recently hung out with the guys, and Alex was there. He made a huge scene in front of them by saying how much he was trying to go out with me and how I kept defecting him. All the guys pressured me and said I should just go out with him. Feeling really pressured, I agreed. But my one guy friend could tell something was off and asked me what's wrong, I told him everything about Alex and he said THAT IM BEING PARANOID AND SHOULD JUST GO OUT WITH HIM!!??? 

I don't feel good even talking about him, and I really feel that there's something off about him. I really need another opinion cause I CANNOT GO OUT WITH HIM. But at the same time I'm being pressured into doing so. 

Thanks!💞
