" I got the impression he did this before to other people he did not that well . Who could condone such behavior?"

Just clarifying that I'm not condoning his behavior. I'm saying that as a female, I would not accept a ride from a man unless I knew the man very well because I wouldn't have wanted to have a pass made at me or to be taken to some off the track place to be assaulted.

I think that my way of thinking about those situations is how wise parents teach their girls to be cautious since that's the way more than a few men act. It doesn't surprise me that homosexual men make passes at males in situations that some heterosexual men would do the same to women.

Even if a woman is tired, sweaty, etc., most would be very cautious about accepting a ride from a man whom they didn't know very well.

That as a male you haven't had in general to think this way is a big statement about things that women have to consider in society that men in general don't have to worry about.

I can't tell you how many times some man has made a crude pass at me when I legitimately thought we were meeting to do homework, discuss business, etc.

If a female had been in your situation, her parents probably would have told her, "I told you not to accept rides from guys."
