Oh...Firehouse...! LOL! I can tell ya now, the singer probably thought that he was flattering you! His ego needed the boost most nights and you gave that to him in energy by being at a lot of his gigs :). It tends to relax stage frightened band members if they see a familiar face in the crowd. But it sounds like he did go over board and I would be freaked out as well!
If he was going to sleep with you, he absolutely would have pursued you off stage as well.
