I got a post from a different one. She claims to be a diagnosed female aspie, and has zero posts, so I can't read anything about what she's like or what she has to say. When someone seeks escalation of involvement that is out of sync with how much you know about her and how much she knows about you, it's a major red flag. In real life I've had at least two instances of people seeking escalation of involvement without giving me the opportunity to get to know them, and these also registered with me as big red flags. So yes, it is creepy and you probably shouldn't respond.

the point is, what is the USERNAME? not what they sign their posts as, but what it shows as their USERNAME is important. If the mods have that, then we can nip this in the bud, so to speak. :D

awww, poor baby. . :D I am sure we banned Miss Sylvia and Tina4U before "she" could prey upon you, Willa ;) "she" seems to frequent the lonely male posters on Love and Dating as particularly susceptible to "her" blandishments and p0rno web site charms.
