<human>: Give me the gist of the text in a nutshell

Everything is wack. My close girl friend Annie got a new boyfriend two days after she broke up with her ex boyfriend of 8 months, who she started dating two weeks after breaking up with her ex boyfriend of two years. Let's call her new guy John. Turns out John has a close guy friend too, named Dakota. I met John and Dakota for the first time two days ago. 

 

I guess Annie and John pushed Dakota to talk to me that night, but we hit it off because we both love producing music. He got my number and we've been texting for a day. John said Dakota thinks I'm a "little hottie" and named me "My Little Popstar" in his contact list, lol. He has also been coming on a little strong over text, not sexually but just really open about how positive he feels towards me. However, I got out of a year long relationship a few months ago and I basically want to be a prude until someone wins me over for real. 

 

Here's the weird part. We all met up for dinner the next day and Dakota brought up a trip they were planning with a bunch of friends. He basically begged John to let me come beforehand, and then at dinner he invited me multiple times. He was putting his arm around me and getting really close. Annie trusts John, and he says that Dakota is a nice guy who has only had 1 gf in the past. I jokingly told Dakota that he doesn't know me well and I could turn out to be a crazy bitch nightmare, but he just responded with "I don't care".

 

Obviously if I had no mutual friends with Dakota I would just say no. But I trust Annie and she thinks Dakota is someone I should get to know.  Do you think any of this is a red flag? Would it be bad if I go but want to stay in a separate room? I don't mean to be judgemental but I think my friend Annie is going way too quickly through all these relationships, so I'm trying to be extra careful with myself.
<bot>: Guy coming on strong, friends think I'm overreacting, but I wonder if these are red flags. Thoughts?
