That is frightening and possibly more common than one might think.

I'm new to the dating site world and chose to stay away from the more 'salubrious' ones.

Even with a very sober profile, I was getting some quite steamy propositions. Apparently the word, Adventurous implies 'up for casual sex with strangers!'

It's unfortunate because I'm sure lots of women avoid online dating for this very reason.
Luckily, there are more good people around than bad. I've met some really great people who I would never have bumped into otherwise. For me, it has been a great way to make new friends.

I'm happy the story ended well for both you and your new friend.
