I got an email today from http://www.crushlist.com (or something like that) that says that someone has a secret crush on me. All I have to do is sign up, and if my crush choices include the person listing me, it tells me who sent it.
I gotta know, is it someone on the board, or in RL? Please check in here and say if you have a crush on me. You don’t even have to be the person who sent it.
My girl like crush on a college aged, young stud like person is reserved for SPOOFE, sorry Homer it aint me. I know you pine for me, you wish it were me but it’s not me.
I had a friend who recently encountered the evil crush board. In the interest of saving you from going insane let me summerize how that thing really works.
Someone starts the ball rolling by sending out an email anonymously from the board to someone they have a crush on. That person gets on and tries to guess who it might be. Every single person who’s name is entered a s a guess gets an email that someone has a crush on them. The snowball effect is quite fascinating.
So someone might have just guessed that you have a crush on them which then entangled you in the evil web of the crush site.
Yes, I smell a rat also. I got one the other day, and it wasn’t from my girlfriend. I didn’t know where to start guessing after that. It reeks of scam-age.
I think it sounds like it could be a fun chain reaction.
After all, there’s nothing that says you’ve got to do anything about it if someone tracks you down after you’ve tried to guess that they have a crush on you.
I’d just have a difficult time coming up with the e-mail addresses of those I have crushes on (except of course for those on this board who’ve posted or placed their e-mail address in their profile.
