    @ AKA Smith

    We (she and I) are trying to figure out what is wrong with him. In 1960, we would think nothing of this. This isn't 1960.

    I suppose you're afraid he is just 'a player' trying to get something and who will disappear afterwards? But, after all, saying nice things to someone you (presumably) like is not necessarily The Game, is it? Or are there other signs that this guy might not be good?
