TravelSexLife responds to more of our fan mail courtesy of our dedicated columnist Erica. This week’s request discusses one reader’s huge untimely crush.
[one_half_first]The Question
Hey…
This is hard for me because I have never done anything like this.. but I have a huge crush on you. I have never been able to tell you for reasons which you would quickly identify as obvious if you knew who this was.
I’m really attracted to you and I think you would be wanting to get with me immediately and I want to make sure it would be the best for us. Please write me an eCard back through here so I know it is you and we can explore more: (Click here to reply MY PROFILE and PICTURES). My username is lovebug1136 so put that in when you contact me.
Kisses
The Answer
Dear lovebug1136,
Well, you certainly do know how to make a girl blush. Learning that you are attracted to me, coupled with the mystery of never having met you and the flattering invitation to send you an eCard is just, well, the most romantic thing anyone has done for me in seconds.
I’m sure many people who read your email might think you are a parasitic pus-oozing cyber-leech who plays on peoples’ loneliness to get them to click on your link, so you can spam them, sell their details or infect their computer with viruses.
But I believe in you, lovebug1136. I can tell you’re an HONEST anonymous junk mailer.
I am confused, however, as to why you need me to prove my identity, as you emailed ME. Also, since when did sending an eCard serve as a form of identification? Wouldn’t you rather we met up in person and let me show you my passport, and introduce you to my father, who was a cop, and is really quite large and imposing?
If so, please click on this link so I know it is you and we can explore more.
Kisses.
Erica

HA! this is hilarious. if only all my spam were actual secret crushes. *sigh*
would like to meet u
pero ¿por qué se corta a cabo la escisión en la foto?
lo siento, es viernes … y he estado bebiendo.
Ian, buena pregunta. Lovebug1136 es un amigo tuyo? :-p
That exchange was kinda hot.
Lovebug1136, sent me the same exact thing… i almost fell for it and i guess i never will.He ruined my day of romance.
I’ve got that e-mail once a week for the last 2months damn you facebook for selling all my info!!!!!!
And i highly doubt either of you two ( Erica or Lola) have any trouble getting a date…
Wow I received that same ecard.So does anyone know who this lovebug1136 is?I dont want this to continue.This is the first time I have received something like this.I dont usually check my spam mail but I did,and this is what I found.So what do we do now?
How do we find out and also how do we get rid of it
My husband also got one of these in his e mail … I use his e mail as mine also, needless to say I was MAD very MAD…
I have been receiving this email for the past few days and it’s really annoying
I’m not sure how to stop it, but I’ve stopped receiving it now, I think it’s the kind of junk that comes in waves.
Needless to say, I was terribly shocked to find out I wasn’t lovebug1136′s one and only. What. A. Slut.
I’m kind of surprised that there’s a lovebug1136 epidemic. It’s insulting that you weren’t the only one harassed.
I know! I’m pretty insulted. I thought we had something special.
Ya… I’m a little releaved that this lovebug1136 is a bogus sender… I’ve received this email E-Card several times and I think it’s one of SexCity’s ploys to get people to sign up with them in hopes of finding out who lovebug1136 is… I just won’t sign up just to find out who any anonimous sender of anything is no matter how flattering they appear to be… Nice try though… I wonder how many people have fallen prey to that tactic to increase membership…?
