20/20?

Got an interesting IM out of the blue today...

First conversation was ok. See the end of this entry for a couple hindsights...

Just ended a second conversation with "jean" (BWB58). She wants to meet for a drink on Friday. i told her that i have plans - meeting up with a friend. Suggested Saturday. She's babysitting grandkids (?) but said she'd drop a line to my e-mail if she (they?) could make a drink date. i'm good with that - another woman friend is always welcomed, :) but "they"? hmmmm

We do seem to have a lot in common, yet are very different in our expressions and social graces. It's cool. Could be a new friend, maybe not - much too early to tell. And then there's this:

Two red flags:

*** 1st conversation she said something about being pagan, but could not name the Trad. she was following. She said wicca. Ok, scratching head now...

*** It did strike me oddly that she'd tell me she saw me on a poly list i've not been on in years and then quickly asked me if i knew MG (a lifestyle person)! Is something awry here? She didn't even mention being involved in the D/s realm. Fortunately i have a policy of not discussing other people's lives with people i don't know (and even am shy with details and opinions about people i DO know) so that served me well.

It's definitely something to watch for if this is a ruse - or - Am i being too suspect of an innocent though way out-of-context name drop?
