Should I be creeped out?

I think I know the answer but, here we go.

I friended a guy on facebook who was in a group I was a member of. I deliberately did so as I liked the look of him and he was single (sad perhaps). I've been separated for a few months and suppose I was looking for some attention. Although not looking for anything serious.

Anyway, he messaged me and we had a brief chat mainly about a mutual tv programme. I then messaged him a few days later and almost straight away he was a bit 'crude'. Not about me but just in general. He talked about being on Tinder and some of the rude messages he'd had etc.

I found it a bit odd he didn't ask me anything about myself, it was just general chat.

He messaged me again a few days later and it was clear he wanted a bit 'dirty' talk. I'm not a prude and have no issue with it but, again, no questions about me or anything. I didn't mind at the time and chatted back but was a little bit more reserved that him.

Now in hindsight, I'm thinking this is all very weird and should not respond again. In some ways I'm a little insulted that he thinks I'm just after a hook up because I friended him.

My friends think its just harmless fun and I'm so out of touch with all this having been with the same person for 15 years.

So no you shouldnt be creeped out but if you don't like it don't do it.

Well that's what I thought. Although I've been friended by other members of the group and I don't feel the need to message them. I was happy he messaged me but found the immediate crudeness surprising.
Note to self: don't friend single blokes!!

I think a lot of single blokes getting an unsolicited friend request off a woman they dont know on FB will think their luck is in and blunder in ham handed accordingly 😂 of course will be the opposite and say nothing at all...there is a happy medium but its bloody rare I'll bet.
