Yes, he was rude. Why didn't you just ask him to let you ride alone?
I don't mind people drafting if 1) I know them and know they have the skills to draft and 2) they ask. If someone shows up out of the blue and doesn't meet the above criteria, I expect them to ask or acknowledge the draft. If they can't take a pull, no problem, but he needs to have said so.
Not to mention, if I'm riding alone, I get the creeps when a strange man rides that close to me without a word. As women, we're told to keep an eye on potential danger when we're walking anywhere so even on the bike I am alert.
Plus, there are just some days when I want to ride by myself without the responsibility of someone nearby. There are times it is fun to draft or be drafted and times for solo serenity.
Don't be meek.
