Sometimes, I think there is a sort of social "pre-filter" that occurs that helps to keep people "safe" when meeting new people (e.g., go to a friend's party and someone is friends with someone).

But in practice, this could lead to quite a few people getting screwed over in some way shape or form by people with terrible agendas. :(
