[QUOTE="gothgirl1, post: 2562053, member: 378606"] I received an email on here, Yahoo Answers, from a new user. It was kind of a short but mean message and he'd sent it to a few of contacts too, calling us all "bitches" lol. I blocked him straight away and told him he was blocked and reported to Yahoo. He bypassed the block and emailed me back, saying he was sorry, he thought I was a bit of a cow but then realised I wasn't really...he said he'd had a crush on me for a while and had been looking at my profile and Q/As. He said he was good with computers which is why he could bypass the block. I just said, ok whatever, I can't stop you from messaging me can I - he replied saying he wouldn't contact me again if I didn't want him to, but that he'd recently been hurt in a bad relationship and wanted someone to talk, apparently I reminded him of his ex and he has a crush on me. We started chatting, he kep saying his feelings for me are growing, I added him on Facebook and his pictures are all very very handsome, they look like modelling shots. I asked him about it and he said he'd done the odd spot of modelling. He said he lives in the US and has a good career in IT and his job takes him a lot of places and meets a lot of people. He keeps saying he likes me a lot, wants to be with me - he even sent me a song on Youtube which he has "dedicated" to me. I've just come out of a bad relationship too and we've been chatting about it. My feelings are growing but we've only been chatting for 2 weeks....and I've read horror stories about these "dating scams" in Nigeria, Ghana etc - how do I know if he's legit or not? He hasn't asked me for money, and there's no way I'd send him any - but I just don't know what to feel, how to ask him, (he wouldn't exactly admit it anyway, would he?) or even to believe if the guy in the pictures is really him. Any advice? Thanks [/QUOTE]
