Aww, Barb - thanks for the concern. Normally I don't go letting guys pick me up in discount stores!!!! But he was so sweet and actually shy about approaching me, I let him have my number. I could tell right off the bat that he would be a very respectful total gentleman - and he was. (Plus, he's darned handsome and just my type )
You're right though, I need to be a little more cautious - while I feel I have pretty good instincts, most people are caught off guard by sociopaths and I shouldn't think I'm immune to that. Still, I felt much more comfortable meeting him for a drink than some of my online dating contacts, because I already had a pretty good sense of what he was about.
