Women of reddit, what happened after someone you only saw as a friend confessed their romantic feelings for you?

We were close friends since we met in the fourth grade. This one bully was teasing him about his buckteeth (I also have them, so it hit a nerve) and I chased the bully around the playground in a fit of rage. Had my short'n'stumpies been able to catch him, I would have whipped his ass. We were best friends from that day on. He bought me one of those long erasers that's shaped like a pencil, believe it or not- my hoarder-ass still has it! FFWD to freshmen year and he started emailing me that I had a secret admirer who wanted to take me to Homecoming. Awkward... I told him we were just friends and I would never ruin the friendship by taking it to any other level. Ok, fine. I date other guys in high school and due to some sexual abuse when I was young, it was kinda revolving-door-dating. I'd date a boy for idk ten days lol then we'd make out and it would make me feel gross or uncomfortable, so I'd break up with him.
FFWD almost twenty years from this moment and the person I've considered one of my "best friends" tells me how slutty I was in high school because I dated everyone. Dated. Maybe made out! Never fucked them, and why was that YOUR business anyway? He was just pissed off that I dated a portion of the school but not him...

We had a falling out right after high school. It was the first time I had ever been drunk and trying hookah for the first time. (WHOOOO! That nicotine-spin!) We were sitting at my dining room table with our friend group (dude with the lifelong crush, my son's father and his best friend then me- only female.) I'd been dating my kid's dad for at least a year at this point and when he and his buddy stepped out of the house for some air, this asshole turns to me and whispers, "Flash me!"
"Excuse me, what?" So I started having a panic attack and told my ex I wanted to go bed and I didn't want to be drunk anymore and so he knew something was up... He fished what happened out of me and was about to go whip dude's ass when I told him, don't we're all underage and drunk. We don't need you in jail tonight... I sorta regret that now.

I forgave him, we started talking like friends again at the beginning of this year. I could tell he was starting in with the little innuendos and flirtations and cut that shit off real quick. This dude has done so many creepy things to other women, I can't even fathom why I started talking to him again (other than the fact that I have a Dory-level memory and am way too forgiving.) Last I heard, he was divorcing his wife because "she's too depressed and fat" and was going to confess to his best friend (an old friend of ours from middle school) that he's in love with her. Idiot. Should've loved your wife. Let's be honest, if I had to wake up to his hideous face every morning, on top of his overly inflated ego, I'd be fat and depressed too. Sorry, that was mean...

We are not friends anymore. Creepy has a cut-off point, even IF that person is the very first best friend you've ever had...
