So... at this point, I'm a little creeped out. He doesn't know me, but he wants to meet?! and take me dancing... he wants to have live conversation over the phone...he wants my cell number?! So I reply with this:
Luis,
Well, I'm flattered, but I'm actually out of town in college right now in Rock Island,IL near the Iowa border. I'm 22 years old, and I'll be back in Bolingbrook for the summer in a few weeks. Dancing sounds like fun, because I like to dance. But, I don't know you well enough to meet in person yet. I'd like to get to know you better though.
Your friend,
Kim

I guess I'm a little creeped out, but he just contacted me out of the blue, and I don't know him! He doesn't even have a picture posted on his profile.
