Title. So I had simply done nothing for say 2-3 minutes - it was to his expense. Furthermore you won’t missclick taking NO action.
Fun fact: otb you are allowed to accept even after your opponent has made his move eventually.

OTB the correct way to offer and accept a draw is: the player to move offers the draw WHILE HE IS TO MOVE, that is: on his time. If you offer the draw when your opponent is on move you *could* do this to interrupt the opponents thought processes and cost him time. Therefore this is not allowed.
Before or after offering the draw the player offering it makes his move but only after offering the draw he presses the clock (offering the draw is considered part of his move). The draw offer is valid as long as the opponent has not completed his move.
A player offered a draw has several options: he can decline the offer expressly by saying something to the effect of "no". He can just play on without even answering it. The offer becomes declined if he completes his next move (by making a legal move and pressing the clock). In a team match he can consult with the captain of the team. He finally can accept the draw offer by a conclusive action (verbally accepting, stopping the clock, shaking hands, etc.).
Notice that any draw offer has to be recorded in the notation (if notation is necessary, i.e. not for rapid or blitz time controls) regardless of being accepted or declined.

Fun Fact: OTB, the offer of a draw must be made after you complete your move.
Sure, #2. Although illegal it is yet valid (draw offer when having the move).
#3, you move, you offer draw, you press the clock. That's what is recommended. You complete the combination of move/draw offer. :D
In other words: the draw offer and the move should be closely linked. A second before moving, while moving, a second after moving, instantly having pressed the clock - this all is usually accepted by opponents and arbiters.
PS: even a GM once offered draw to me in a drawn endgame having the move...

Exactly NOT! See § 9.1 of the FIDE Laws of chess:
www.fide.com/FIDE/handbook/LawsOfChess.pdfkrasnaya
Simply the FIDE rule:
b. If the rules of a competition allow a draw agreement the following apply:
(1) A player wishing to offer a draw shall do so after having made a move on the
chessboard and before stopping his clock and starting the opponent’s clock.
An offer at any other time during play is still valid but Article 12.6 must be
considered. No conditions can be attached to the offer. In both cases the offer
cannot be withdrawn and remains valid until the opponent accepts it, rejects
it orally, rejects it by touching a piece with the intention of moving or
capturing it, or the game is concluded in some other way.
13
(2) The offer of a draw shall be noted
But as stated before:
"In other words: the draw offer and the move should be closely linked. A second before moving, while moving, a second after moving, instantly having pressed the clock - this all is usually accepted by opponents and arbiters.
PS: even a GM once offered draw to me in a drawn endgame having the move..."
Suspiciously accurate game ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Well,
@box_boxed. Got so many of them I cannot count. The level of the opponents was low recently, just play normal moves, take the material... No worries, but that’s pretty much offtopic.
The message was: you can offer draw whenever you want to but a clever opponent just ignores them if the opponent‘s clock is ticking.
It is pretty rude to offer a draw when a pawn and a piece down.
"The offer of a draw shall be noted"
How ?
