I think you're doing the right thing. It's better to be safe than sorry, and I would be suspicious about this guy, too.
There's still hope for dating sites, though. It's just that you have to be very patient, and actively search and take some wild chances rather than letting people come to you.
The first time I joined Match, I didn't really do anything except wonder why all the guys who were winking at me were either blatantly only after one thing or blatantly had nothing in common with me (or both).
The second time, I actually paid, then did a search for what I was looking for and went around winking at every profile that looked okay, even if I thought the guy was probably way out of my league or might turn out to be an asshole.
Desperate? Maybe. But the guy I ended up dating was one of the ones about whom I thought He won't be interested in me but I'll give it a try, anyway. We only dated for a month but I was the one who ended it, and it was nothing to do with him, so all in all, the potential for something good was there :)
Sorry for that longwinded story but I just wanted to say that it's not all bad, lol.
