Friend Requests that arouse suspicion - Is it just me?

Sporadic Sparkly

Several days ago, I found myself on the receiving end of a Friend Request from a new member, which immediately caused me to feel unnerved and suspicious.

I question if it's a generational thing, or if it's just me. At the time that I received this request, there had been no prior interaction on the forum between myself and this member. Furthermore, their member profile was completely blank. Therefore, I had no way of knowing if this person was on a similar wavelength to me, or if we had anything remotely in common.

    You and me both Catlover.  Something very "off."

    There is one person who appears in this thread, who I have interacted with on multiple occasions and believe to have even more trouble than I with establishing a reasonable communication. 

    I've tried quite hard myself, to get a bit of two way going, and it's been unusually difficult, and if I were a nervous person I'd find it a bit offputting, if I were inclined to be short tempered I'd find it annoying, but since I elicit those reactions in some people I'm doing my best to try and figure out if there's anything I can do to help them. 

    I am not doing well at that task, currently, and I've been tempted to ask other members for some help with this one person, but I thought it was only me being silly and that time would provide a solution. (that works way more often than you'd expect the "do nothing until you are sure what to do" approach to solving problems)
