TL;DR - Guy goes to bar, has some old man insist on paying for his tab. Goes to another bar, old man comes along and pays for him again. As he is leaving, old man puts his arm around his waist and propositions him to come over and use his washroom.

I'm a 22 year old male and I was new in town. I decided to hit up a couple bars. I decided to chat up an older gentlemen who was sitting by himself. He was in his 60's, and retired. We had a pleasant conversation about work, life and general small chat. He pays for my tab, which I take as a friendly gesture and I leave the bar. I didn't think much of them at the time, but he mentioned two or three times that "you're alright" and "I like you". These statements were usually accompanied by a weird eyebrow raise. The man decides to tag along as I go to the next bar, and also pays for my tab there. At this point I begin to think its a little strange, but I figured he is lonely and just wants to talk. I didn't spot a ring on his finger, which solidified my misguided theory. To play on it on the safe side, I mentioned I'm dating a girl at the time. He didn't pick up on the hint, unfortunately.
As we leave he puts his arm around my waist. Now I'm a small guy. 5'9 and have a fit, but still pretty petite build. This man was about 6'4 and his whole entire hand fit around my abs. I instantly backed away, and made the dumbest excuse I could ever think of. "I need to use the restroom", I said. "You can just use mine, I live around the block", he replied.
I wished him a pleasant evening and just booked it. After the experience, I felt incredibly vulnerable. It's hard to describe the feeling, but I know many of redditors on this sub have had similar situations happen to them on a regular basis. Being on the receiving end really put things into perspective for me.
Edit: To those saying I shouldn't have accepted the drinks, you are correct. I did refuse twice at the first bar, but he insisted. At the second bar, he threw down cash before I could even place my drink order.
