So.... men, imagine that a hot looking woman showed interest in you on okcupid.

Describes herself as next door girl and introverted.

You exchange few messages.

And then she gives you her facebook!

While you're browsing her photos on her fb, you quickly realizes that she isn't really that much the "next door girl" you may imagine, at least not from what she looks like in photos, but she looks much more of a party lover (with tons of pictures with 'babe-type' of female friends), and all in the fanciest places locally typically attended by high class people and plus she's a world traveler too, she obviously looks like the type who never spends a Saturday night indoor. She seems to be really an opposite of you in every way.

Then she accepts your request, and asks you are planning for the weekend ...bla bla.

Then at 11:48 PM, she asks you mundane questions about how many siblings you have...bla bla.

Then soon after she tells you she's in XX [two abbreviation name of a place]with her sisters and friends, and asks you if you want to join. Wtf....

and you have no idea what this "XX" <_< place stands for too, Google didn't help much to figure anything, but most probably it's a known local night club that you're not aware of due to your typical aspie-related ignorance of such nightlife places; which makes you too afraid to ask her what and where the heck this XX is and sound like a total creepy fool living under a rock.

I mean yikes!!

Imagine you just met someone hot online, and after few hours of very limited exchange, then out of the blue, around midnight, she asks you to join her to a such nightlife social event, in a place that you probably never been there before, with the whole presence of her social circle!

What would your instinct feel about all the above if it happened to you?

I'd probably go on a forum for a condition I'm not diagnosed with and troll about it.

I don't get what you are referring to.

The several times I've gone, to me bars and clubs are empty of a something I can't define what it is and therefore can't pin a name on. Whatever that empty sensation is, it is a little attached to the people and the interaction but it is much more attached to the place, the space, the location.
We have a casino hotel in our riverbank burg and as soon as I got through the door that same sensation hit me.
Both were distressing enough I won't go back to either one. The casino restaurant is a popular place to eat, but, no, I'm not going to soak myself in that empty sensation.

You asked me what I would do, and that's what I would do. Pretty straight forward?

I would have to decline the invitation since she doesn't sound like she is very compatible with me.

Your brain is saying it's a trap and your heart is saying you might be lucky. Go with your your brain. It's the only one of the two that can think.

Someone had to be that guy - it's a thankless job but it must be done.

I wouldn't have that sort of discourse with anybody online.

Straight up scam. I respect those who don't play the long con at least.

I'd probably wonder if I was worth kidnapping.

Next time, find an internet forum about clubbing in that city. You might search up directions to XX there.

Her profile doesn't look much fake, fake fb profiles usually are sausage fests with selfie photos only- this one looks so real.

But yeah, it felt like a trap.
