Mary,

I'm proud of you for going with your instincts. They will never let you down. This guys sounds like he was looking for a free meal.

I had a blind date once. He took me on a walk through 24 holes of golf cuz he was preparing for a tournament the next day. When he was done mapping out his course, we drove back to where my car was parked (at a nice restaurant). I figured he'd ask to go in for a drink (afterall I walked my ass off for this jerk). Nope. He shook my hand, said thanks and left. Never heard from him again. (Hope he lost his stinking game).

One can never be too careful.
