From someone who has been on dating websites and apps, I see this as a very good thing. Even for an extra fee, it's worth it to find out any and all info you need to stay safe.
Many of us feel that Jeff and Lynn are heroes, and they definitely were to that young woman they helped seek safety. But to them, it's just what you are supposed to do.
How do you address or greet someone that is considered your elder? Do they deserve a certain amount of respect attached to their name? Does it even matter? To some, it matters a lot.
