Another fine how do ya do...

My abilities are biting me in the behind again! I was chatting with a guy this morning online. I had no idea anything about him. He tells me that he works with my ex-boyfriend and that he is going to ask him about me. He wants the skinny on me. He sent me a message that I scared him because I seemed to have all the right answers and that we had a lot in common. My abilities are leading me into a mess of trouble--if I have these abilities why don't they help me avoid this?
