I joined a group on Meetup.com that discusses and does research on UFOs and aliens. Whether you guys find it dumb/silly to take part in something like that is another story, not what I'm about to describe.

I started feeling abit suspicious about this group. Since members in the group are all available at different times, he decided to make individual appointments to meet with him and discuss the group plans. I made an appointment, but then started feeling suspicious about meeting this stranger by myself to discuss something I don't even know is real. I'd be more comfortable if there were more people.

He messaged me today on Meetup.com to ask if we're meeting on the date I scheduled and I replied "I'm not sure yet". He replied back to me telling me he is a busy business man and cancelled some of his business clients to meet with me. He questioned what benefits of the group I'd be interested in if didn't show up to the scheduled meeting and questioned if I'm a serious adult.

Should I apologize and let him know that I didn't consider what he had told me and go anyways? Was I right for feeling suspicious or not? We are meeting in a public place, so I guess that makes it safe? Should I just leave this group if I feel suspicious?

That's just weird. First that he would cancel business meetings to meet up with you, and second that the actual group isn't getting together at once. Every Meetup thing I've seen the date and time is announced, and those that are available attend. I don't blame you for being cautious. I don't think you owe him an apology, just a yes or no answer. Personally, I'd go with the "no".

I would absolutely not go! That sounds highly suspicious. Never have I heard of any meetup group doing that kind of thing and he sounds like he is from another planet.

That sounds like the m.o. of an alien posing as a human so he can kidnap you for slave labor on his home planet- DON'T FALL FOR IT!!!

Individual appointments to discuss group plans? HUH? Why not meet as a group to discuss group plans? Isn't that the point of being a group? If everyone's schedules prevent having a meeting to discuss plans, how are they going to be able to organize the plans that are discussed?

I agree---no. If you feel you have to tell him something, tell him you'd rather just wait for the whole group to meet.

That IS very weird. Go with your gut.

Keep pushing him off until he tells you that the President is expecting a report and he needs to meet with you to get it completed.

Oh, and as an FYI - you joined a cult.

Best of luck.

Edit: Hi, I'm Jim and I'll be desensitizing you to anal probes so that you won't be as uncomfortable when aliens do it to you. Lay face down and put this pillow under your stomach. This'll sting a little.

Sounds to me like he is trying to start a group, and your the first one to reply. Or he is just a creeper.........
