I think that once he recognized that you were uncomfortable, he should have crossed the street, slowed down, or made an effort to pass around you. It's common courtesy. Any gentleman knows that there's a reason why women are uncomfortable walking late at night by ourselves, and it has nothing to do with *him*. And to me, it's no different than making sure that you stand a number of feet back from someone at an ATM.
One thing I do, that makes me feel better, if someone is walking behind me on a residential street, it turn into the first walkway/sidewalk. I let them pass me, and then once they're a comfortable difference in front of me, I keep on walking. It keeps me feeling in control of the situation.
