Were you ever assigned any heading, altitude, or route?


Yes. He was giving me headings and altitudes to fly, as if I was getting
vectors to the localizer. But I was VFR. Not flying a practice approach.



And he may well have been sending you to the localizer but he knew you
weren't IFR and most of his traffic was IFR so he may have planned to
move you through his airspace like you were IFR.

While a pretty good idea in all controlled airspace, in Bravo just do
what ATC tells you unless you think it is unsafe and be ready to defend
that decision.
