Is it normal for someone to ask, "I didn't force you to come here, did I?"

Why would someone ask this question?

The whole story is that I met with this person to study for uni. When we met for that he told me that he had texted someone else from our course about meeting to study but she had never replied. I said, "Maybe she's just busy." He replied, "Everyone is busy. That can't have been the reason." Then he said, "I didn't force you to come here, did I?"

He's gay by the way.
