I guess I am officially an old fart timer. I don't know how many times, I have told my kids, get off the text, facebook, IM, whatever and make a "phone" call. My first date with my wife was an "honest to god blind date". The lady that worked for me was "setting me up" with her cousin. She gave me the phone number a week before the date - I called and we ended up talking for 2 hours. There is something to be said for the sound of a human voice.
Now that I have that off my chest, this does sound promising and...it I agree, it might be a good idea to friend the friend. After all, she did bring him along as a safety valve - so she apparently trusts him.
