    Like I said, I’d probably just remain single in that case. I just am not trusting enough of total strangers. If a friend set me up with someone, I’d do that. But I would be too suspicious to date a total stranger.

    Just me personally.

      Different strokes for different folks. Been on many dates with strangers, it’s almost always enjoyable. Turns out 99% of people are just normal people. The 1% of crazy people are the stories you hear that make people not want to go outside. Id just rather not live my life in fear.

        It’s also worth noting that things are different depending on cultural context. There’s huge shifts in public perception, and these can very much influence the chances of meeting “crazy” people.
