That is just so inappropriate for a complete stranger to do, I would have said something like: "Why no - I am sure you probably mean well, but have to say, I am a bit taken aback that someone I don't know would ask me such a thing. I am sure you mean well, but have me mistaken for someone else. I have to go now." If he insists he saw you on here - I'd just ignore him, or keep denying it - or find a security guard (if it gets really weird). End of encounter. He probably didn't think about it before he said it, or mean to be rude - but that is exactly how I would handle it. No need to feel any guilt about it, either - I agree with juliaoceania. Your personal life is absolutely not a total stranger's business - ever (IMO). Unless there is a particular reason you want to admit it, anyway. I just find the whole thing appalling, in many ways. I understand some folks have a casual attitude toward being in "the life-style" - but, I don't think anyone should take that as any guarantee anyone else feels the same way. - Susan
