Oh Seesaw, that is exactly why I dont respond "GOING" to activities listed on FB. I put them on my calendar & may click on interested.

He probably thought he hadn't met you & saw you would be there & probably totally CLUELESS that it was a networking event & not social. In his mind probably thought a good way to mrrt you. Obviously He is a totally dysfunctional person when it comes to social interactions & what the appropriate way to handle a meeting with someone. Definitely blicking him was the ABSOLUTE CORRECT thing to do. I eould hsve felt creeped out by it too. You handled yourself perfectly.

Lol, in my small town I got a phone call when I first got my new local ohone number. By chance this guy actually dialed my number while trying to call his granddaughter (missed it by one close number when I asked what # he was trying to call). Well it turned into a longer phone conversation & an invite to have coffee with the other seniors at the local McDonalds. I graciously thanked him but said far too busy. One never knows what unusual contacts may happen but BEST to stop them immediately & never get involved with anyone you dont kniw or have met personally to know ehat they are like IRL. You cut it off befire it could become anything more. Too many people naievly think that its important to BE NICE to someone rather than being protective of ones own privacy & think "what could it hurt?" Until its too late & they find out.

Using one's wise mind & being totally mindful of the situations brings awareness & caution that is important in all situations.

You handled this perfectly & learned a few things in the process. Responding to public listings on FB that you are going to anything opens up for the public (not just friends) to know your plans & where you intend on being.....beware of what information we put out there.
