Jay F, you're an interesting one. Honestly, this all sounded REALLY familiar. You should have listened when people told you to avoid this woman last March (when you were wondering if a high IQ person such as yourself could be compatible with a low IQ person). Back then you didn't mention that she had a boyfriend, and back then there was a possible sexual component to the friendship.
Wow. He already knew at that time that she was bipolar, self-medicating, a high school dropout, and :::drumroll::: HALF HIS AGE. His question was about IQ based on her practically being illiterate in writing. She zeroed in on him for a reason and he took the bait. Repeatedly.
Low IQ on her part? On the contrary, Watson.
One way or the other, your ego got you into this mess, Jay. You either thought you could be a rescuing Jesus and/or so flattered to be "desired" by this young hottie and that there might be some "romance" forthcoming – that despite those red flags you kept on seeing her ... and now, here you are.
I agree that it's a people problem. But some people should not be on FB or other social media and the OP sounds like one of those people. He doesn't know how to use FB properly, he mis-uses FB and he encourages and allows other FB users to abuse him.
All this "horrors of Facebook!" – it's not the platform, for heaven's sake.
Many people manage to have perfectly fine relationships with others through FB.
I'm one of them.
Another one here! I have probably 300 FB friends, but every single one of them is someone I actually know IRL (I don't accept random friend requests from strangers, even if they claim to be a friend of a friend). If anyone's posts offend me or are too dramatic, I just unfollow them, but remain friends. My newsfeed is boring and drama free. And I'm able to keep up to date on the lives of people I care about.

Well, yes, there's an appropriate way to use social media and in inappropriate way to use it.
There is a "block" feature on FB and it should be used liberally and often.

How did OP misuse FB? By accepting a friend request and reading a message from someone he did not know at the time was nutso? FB is merely the medium she used to privately message.
If he had kept it confined to FB there would likely be no problem here. His troubles exist because he agreed to meet her for lunch in real life, and to continue meeting her in the face of ever increasing signs that she is a nutjob.

I get friend requests quite often from people I've never met in my life. I delete those requests. Sometimes I'll even block them because it's too weird.

What's that have to do with the topic? He knew her in real life before the friend request, having worked with her and she seemed normal then.
