If I were doing a date site, after all that I’ve read about oddballs (nh), I’d be a little chary of meeting in person until I’d sensed the guy’s bona fides.

Clearly, then, if she doesn’t want to meet strangers from the Internet, the OT is not the place for her, and she’ll never show up at a gathering. But, yeah, DH, that’s what I was thinking.
