I Worry I Will Be A Victim Of A Potential Extortion Attempt.

Location: Ohio

I met this guy on Tinder. His bio said he was 24 and he lived 6 miles away. Most of the people I match with are 50+ miles away and let's be honest, I know nobody is driving over an hour to see me. So I was excited to see someone so close. We got to talking and he is saying how handsome I am, then gets to talking dirty (which is nothing unusual in the gay community as they almost always get sexual within the first 5 minutes) and says stuff that is a little bit weird about anime/hentai and feet. Neither are really my thing but I played along anyway. Then at the end of the conversation he says "I'm 17 btw. I hope you don't mind, because I don't." I started typing to tell him I definitely do mind, and then the profile disappeared right before my eyes.

I hope it was just a troll but I have visions of him coming back saying "if you don't pay me ___ amount of money, I'm telling everyone you talked to a minor." I obviously didn't get any screenshots of the profile or messages because he was gone before I could. I have sent an email to Tinder. Is there anything else I should do?
