I Think I’m Being Stalked— Am I Being Too Paranoid Or Should I Think Ab A Restraining Order?

hi! i need an unbiased opinion. i’ve had online stalkers before so im paranoid— but i dont know if im being too paranoid here. let me explain… I am 17F and I work at a Boba shop. Right next to my Boba shop is a subway— I go in there from time to time to get lunch if I forget to pack one! There’s a guy there that looks probably mid 20s and he sometimes makes my sandwich and we have a little conversation but I haven’t been inside Subway for probably about a month and a half. For the past probably two weeks he’s come in every once in a while to my shop to buy a smoothie, which wasn’t really weird until he stopped ordering and just stayed inside the shop and tried to talk to me or just sat there while I worked. Once he asked if I wanted to trade a sandwich for a smoothie and I said yes but then he ended up coming in three more times that day just to chat with me or to sit down while I worked. This never really happens, especially since we’re a pretty small shop and the seating isn’t great. I’ve been kind of weirded out with how many times come in recently so I kind of just hide in the back room whenever he comes in, he doesn’t speak to anybody else and if I don’t come out within a few minutes he just leaves. Yesterday he came in but he was not coming from his work because he wasn’t wearing his uniform and he parked his car in front of our shop and he just came in and sat down but I just his the back for about 20 to 30 minutes and then he left without saying a word or ordering anything. When he left he revved his car really really loud and then sped off. today about 10 minutes after I got to work he came in and my coworker knew about him so I ran to the back and my coworkee (24 male) stayed upfront but when I went to the back the guy just left immediately. Tonight when I left work I saw his car parked directly behind mine and it was on— I got in my car very quickly and as soon as I shut the door he reversed and drove away really . I went home and I didn’t see him following me but I’m kind of concerned that he’s stalking me now. Am I being dramatic or paranoid or should I be worried for the future?

*edit once anout a week or so ago he asked when we closed and i said 8:30 (this was before he worried me) and then he said i should come in after my shift and we closed and he would “take care of me” idk what that means but i thought i’d mention it
