I’m a 23 year old bisexual male from the San Diego, CA area. From time to time, I used to like going on Grindr and indulging in hookups cus why not. We all be getting horny sometimes. Anyway, I began talking to this transgender woman, let’s call her Natalie. We both shared pictures together the night prior and had planned to do some sexy time at this park in her car early the following morning on a Saturday. Grindr is notorious for hookup culture and/or anonymous hookups so meeting and doing something like this was risky, yes, but nothing completely crazy as weird as that sounds. Most people on Grindr are down low men or just bored people looking for connection. However, from my experience, most people are harmless as long as you trust your gut. Anyway, I pulled up to the park in my Gray Honda and there was already one car there. The vehicle was this SUV with black tint, which was absolutely insane. It had to be illegal because you could legitimately not see a thing in that car. I had a feeling it was Natalie or whoever was trying to pose as her because Grindr has a feature where it’ll tell you specifically how close someone is to your location and it adjusts frequently. But automatically, I could tell something was off. I told her that I had pulled up to the park. I don’t quite remember what she said, but alarm bells started going off in my brain after she messaged me back. Something did not seem right in this situation at all and I began looking around cautiously in my general area. Then she eventually asked if I was the one in the Gray Honda. I replied yes as if it wasn’t obvious. Becoming more and more sketched out, I reversed out of my parking spot and reversed back into it so that I could fly out of there if something went wrong. Natalie pulled up beside my car and reversed in. Again, the window tint was black and I could not see into the vehicle at all…no shadow, no nothing, just the reflection of my car. I was already on edge at this point so I texted her and asked if she could roll down her windows so that I could see it was her and nobody else. It was beginning to seem like she might be trying to set me up, rob me, or kill me. I believe in retrospect, it was quite obvious. She asked me why, and I told her that it was possible that she had other people in her vehicle that I might not know about and I didn’t want to get set up. She replied that she was apparently skeptical of me and that there could be people in my car too. I began chuckling to myself in disbelief because mind you, I’m in a small Gray Honda with very little window tint, if at all. You could see directly into my car and as I stated before this whole situation occurred in the morning with the sun completely up. Anyway, we were at this weird stalemate and I just stared peering at her black, void of a driver side window for about 10-20 seconds. I didn’t even respond to her message; however, something in the back of my head told me if I get out of this car, I’m going to die. So I just shifted my car into drive and zoomed out of there. I looked at my messages and she had blocked me immediately. I proceeded to drive watching my rear view mirror almost every five seconds hoping I was not being followed. What do you guys think? Has anything like this happened to y’all? I can’t help, but wonder who was looking back at me in that SUV
