I got the following message (with this punctuation and capitalization) through Facebook from a guy named "Church Victor:"

Oh, and in case that wasn't appealing enough, his profile pic shows he's very rotund.

My response? BLOCK

He sounds very sincere. Otherwise no man could write "entangled in the chemistry of love". I'm going to write that down. And being rotund could just be an indication that that he's jolly and enjoys good food.

His 'charming' words sound strikingly similar to those scam artists from Nigeria who try to reel their victims in with promises of love. If you bite, they'll have you wiring them money to an undisclosed location in no time. Google this type of thing, and I think you'll recognize the poor grammar and punctuation. The photo could be of anyone....although you'd think they would at least choose an attractive one.

I've been found out! What would Auntie Norma say?!! Going to the gym to work on my grammar and spelling while seeking to unlock the chemistry of love.

hahahaha.. JMan,I think I know you better by now and not for one moment would you write to Emily like that! You would come right out and ask for the money for the Fare :) :) am I right or am I wrong? Emily, I didn't see any photo of the dear man?

Shimmed: If you want, I can set you up with him...

Anonymous: Yes, I think you may be right. It definitely sounded fishy.

Blonde: Exactly!

jman: I think you would have better grammar, at least.

Aunty Norma: I blocked him and then couldn't grab the photo to share, but it wasn't enticing.
