The lesson comes early in your post. Trust your intuition! Awareness and intuition are the most important things when it comes to personal protection or avoiding a situation.
The other thing you didn't mention but did you remain sitting when he come over? That would keep you in a very bad position. It's good to stand up and be squared up to them, and you can have your hands up in a passive posture. Notice in this what comes first is a passive stance so you can better act if needed. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n-WS09dneHs
Though that doesn't mean attack straight away like in that video, but it enables you to block easier if they attack or if really needed to act first.
Damn when I start talking about this and watching it I miss doing this training, my training partners gave up so I haven't done it for like a year.
