Timid about hugging men in I love life anyway

So. I told a male friend I wasn’t interested in hugging. He declared several time since then that he’s a married man. Am I going crazy? That was not an invitation for anything. I’m avoiding him till I can get myself together. If I said I don’t want physical contact, that doesn’t mean I’m wanting attention. I want my space kept for me. There’s been too much concern from him with my emotions at times too. I need to safeguard myself. I’m sure this man means well. I trust him 100% not to be creepy. I didn’t mean to hurt his feelings. I know he’s married. So am I. I’m just trying to keep at arms length. Did I really do something wrong? I don’t feel it is healthy to invade my emotional space. I feel boundaries are being crossed. I’m concerned. He should be too. If he can think on the matter. Now it’s assumed I thought he was coming on to me. Can this be happening? How could I have done better? Im hopeful I can sort this out or just get on the other side of the room distance from this individual.

Side hug. Safe. Not face to face. Very platonic that way. Arm around shoulders very brief.

I flat out tell people that I am not a hugger… There are a few people that I will hug. Otherwise, I don’t. Plain and simple. I don’t agree with the above note about the alternative types of hugging… Your body, your choice.
