Petrabay is a possible scammer
Started texting her. Was working on meeting up to talk further details over coffee. She then tells me a few days later that she may not be able to meet up because she doesn't have enough gas in her car. I wasn't able to get back to her immediately as I was at work. I let her know this and I don't think this sat to well with her as I didn't immediately bite. I texted her twice since then and now she just ignores me.
My guess is that she was just looking for easy money.

Gas money? No! Offer uber? (declined? Scammer!)
[QUOTE=Michael1967;5122193]Needing gas for car is the standard line used to get you to send them money without meeting. It is the standard line used by scammers. It may also be a way for actual women to see if you're serious, but generally it's a scam. If you have a car but can't afford gas, you shouldn't have a car.[/QUOTE]The way to weed out the scammers from the 'serious / gas money' test is simply to offer an Uber for them. The answer will be found pretty quickly from there. If more excuses or another 'hurdle' comes up like "I also need money to look good for you! Eum. Sure hope no one falls for that one either. LOL. If it's "Sure! Send it 'here' close to where I am and I'll see you soon!" Happy days! You may have found a gem that has scared other people off not realizing how the 'gas money' request looks.
Note: 90-95% of the time the gas money request is the scam type in my experience. Sooo. I tend to stop chatting with right away / not worth the effort unless I am very interested in said person.
