How not to be completely creeped out when meeting douche bags

So you meet someone... somewhere... he seems normal... and uh, yeah, not so much.

My first day on Match.com has proven to be fun and surprisingly (OK maybe not so surprisingly) addictive. I've been viewing and interacting with pretty much normal, interesting, grown up type people... that is until I had the following conversation over match.com IM:

Man: I live in the east village
Me: Oh, that's nice. I live in Williamsburg
Man: Yeah I have a great roof deck, and a kiddie pool
Me: That's fun
Man: Yeah, you wouldn't even need a bikini
Me: Um... that sounds like an activity for warmer weather
Man: OK you can wear clothes, a trench coat and heels and that's all

Granted this is a man who opened his conversation with "So when was the last time you made out with a girl" what else should I have expected?

I mean, finding a creepy guy or two online makes sense to me, but should I be more wary? I've been having some perfectly pleasant email conversations with people via the ever so interesting dating website so hopefully now that I have experienced the creepy man first hand I'll know what to look for from now on.

Oh good times. On a real people dating note a certain gentleman I've had my eye on is coming to my job tomorrow... I'm excited... getting to know people in person. What a concept. Maybe I wont be such a wimp and I'll ask him out, I mean it's only been 3 months... hah... how lame am I?
