[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 289388, member: 3444"] I had something like that happen to me once. I was in New York -- Manhattan to be exact, on business. I flagged a cab to take me to my meeting. The driver was a pleasant conversationalist. He told me he was from Ghana in west Africa, and I learned that he was a few years older than me. Said he would like to have a pen pal and could he write to me when I got back to California. I was young and naive and didn't see any harm in it. I've had pen pals from foreign places before. So he gave me his address and I said I'd send him a post card when I got back home. So I dropped him a line when I got back from my trip. Very polite and cordial. Nothing to suggest there was any interest beyond corresponding by mail. Then I got a letter from him, with a polaroid picture of him next to his pickup truck, beaming with pride. His letter really caught me off guard. He started telling me how much he enjoyed our conversation (however brief) in the cab, my post card, etc. He thought I was a fine woman, one that he could see himself having a RELATIONSHIP WITH. Oh my gosh I was in a panic! This guy was coming on to me and hinting around at stuff he had no business even thinking of... I think he smelled a green card opportunity, to tell you the truth. Anyway, I did not respond to that letter, or the next two he sent. He finally gave up. But it taught me to be very careful about just how warm and welcoming to be at first with people you meet, and to be more aware of the unspoken signals some people give off. Of course, that's hard to do online. Maybe you should just lay off the farm work for a few days and maybe your farm stalker will lose interest... :) [/QUOTE]
