I am a 30-something woman in the U.S.
I matched with a woman (who seemed to be in her 30s or 40s) on an app for plantonic friendship. We exchanged basic information and established we were both looking for platonic female friends. This was accomplished in ~10 minutes.
So far, so good.
Then, she asked, abruptly, if I was free to hang out or chat on the phone that evening. I was busy, so I told her I was happy to schedule a chat for the following evening to get to know each other. I was taken aback by her abruptness, and my FDS instincts told me there was something wrong with her, but since she was a woman, I chose to give her another chance. If a man had asked to meet so soon, I would have blocked and deleted, per FDS.
We scheduled a chat for the following day at 8PM. Now here comes the weird part.
At 7:45PM, she texted me and said she needed to cancel our chat because she "wanted to have an early night". I said, "No worries, we'll talk another time. Have a good night."
I thought that would be the end of it.
She then texted "Hello" repeatedly and sent something over the chat that I did not understand.
I felt very creeped out by her behavior and blocked her.
What do you all think she wanted from me?
It felt Iike she was testing or bullying me, but I'm not sure why a grown, professional woman would act this way.
Could this be a scam of some sort?
It was probably a male.
Your kidneys.
Just kidding. Who knows? Just go with your instincts. She's being weird and you don't need to spend another second of your time trying to decipher it, make excuses for it, or deal with it. Block, delete, bounce.
Another theory--could've been a scrote catfishing you.
This is one of those things where the details don't matter. You quickly noticed something was wrong and acted on it. Good job.
Honestly, we waste way too much of our time trying to understand situations that don't deserve it. I think it's because we as women have been so collectively headfucked into not trusting our instincts and not being allowed to make our own decisions (and having to justify them).
One piece of FDS advice I read that has always stayed with me was that if you're following FDS correctly, you WON'T know the full truth of all the bullets you dodge - and that's a good thing.
If you haven't heard their voice it was probably a scorte
My true crime mind went to helping a man be a trafficker
It sounds like they're in a foreign country to me, very weird
