Is it normal to respond to this random girl on facebook

First off, I know this might sound ridiculous to some, but it is what it is. I feel like I need some opinions on this. I get this friend request from this random girl on Facebook. I accepted it not thinking much of it. Later, I log in to see what was going on and it APPEARS she's trying to hook up with me. She sent me a message with her number saying she wants me to text her. Who knows what's really going on here. It's definitely sketchy and I'm definitely skeptical about responding back with all the internet safety issues you hear about. The name sounds somewhat familiar like I may have met her at some point in life, but I know it wasn't anytime recently, and if I did it was probably a brief encounter.

The thing is I don't really have any girls coming into my life right now and my opportunities are limited because I've lived a pretty secluded life thus far. So, I really don't meet many people often. I keep thinking if I don't try to at least give this a slight chance I'll never really know. So, what the hell, why not have some fun with this?

Should I actually text this number and cautiously see where this goes, or avoid all conflict, assume it's complete BS, and blow it off? Would it be normal to respond back to this stranger?

    I think the right thing to do is to not give out your number and just message her on FB for a while. There are way too many crazy fakes out there and you don't know who this person is.

    At the same time you just never know! This person can become a very good friend/ future partner. I say go for it just don't give out super private importation.

    A small tip... Check out her FB for mutual friends and also check the amount of friends. Good idea to check out all her pictures. I think pictures, likes and comments give it away if a person is legit.

    Oh, that's nothing. I got a friend request from a girl I didn't know (she also friended my cousins, so I figured it was okay). I later discovered that she was a lesbian who had the hots for me and she continuously bugged me and asked me for my phone number everyday. Eventually, I said something that apparently angered her and she unfriended me (good riddens!). But I haven't even told you the crazy part. I go to South Carolina to talk to my cousins about her (because apparently they know her) turns out, she's my cousin. What the actual fuck?! O_o

    If you're worried about her getting our number you could just respond on Facebook first, right? Find out if she's really someone you know.

    Is she anywhere near your area? Any mutual friends? Does her page look legit?

    All questions that can steer you in the right direction... Bottom line is if your spidey sense is tingling there's probably a good reason for it.

    Facebook offers video chat now. If she is legit, continue messaging her on Facebook, and if things go well offer a video chat. If she refuses over and over again you'll know it's a fake.

      Though I know plenty of female friends of mine who really, really doesn't like to video chat. One of my male friends needs at LEAST an hour to prepare himself before he agrees to video-chat so ...well, whilst I agree with you you can also miss out on some really fun people.

    Maybe it's a Nigerian prince who has €10,000,000 on a Swiss bank account and he needs your help to get at it but you need to wire him €1000 if you want to get a share of it. Lol

    I. say just hit her up and see what happens. If anything just hook up and fuck her if shes decent looking.. you already said you dont have many women in your life so why not get in where you fit in ??

      Do you ever use baby wipes? I'm all about baby wipes and aloe vera gel.
