That's what I would have done to avoid any further offensive interactions. But you stayed there, which likely gave him the impression it was Ok with you. And, you say here that you liked the attention so that's why you did not move. Honestly, you gave the wrong impression and made yourself vulnerable by staying in that spot.
Also, musicians are commonly like that. They will gesticulate in crude ways and that's all a part of the show and act. They want the female attention. Many musicians will assume if you are up front near them on the stage, that you want this kind of sexual attention, like a groupie would. He did assume, but you still remained standing there because of your crush, so you can't really place all the blame on him.

You have a point. I already mentioned that I froze in fear. I have bad social anxiety. I should’ve moved, but obviously that thought failed to cross my mind at the time.
Sometimes people can’t respond to situations in a logical manner in these flight or fight situations.
Being upfront should’nt be seen as acceptance of whatever the musicisn feels like doing. I don’t do craxy stuff like throw objects that could injure them onstage, so the same damn courtesy should be given to fans too. They don’t know us personally & what we like & don’t like.
