Why is that sad? Personally, the fact that I do not have my real name or pics in my profile is not an indication of dishonesty or ill intention, it's just a cautious measure. There are counteless reasons that I can think of as to why someone would want to do that, and they're not all suspicious ones. |

I did email and apologise! Its not an aol account unfortunately
How sad is this ( oh god, am I actually gonna admit this........)
The guy send me his photo, and I didnt pick up the message as I didn't recognise the email ( I get a lot of these penis enlargement emails that come up with random, but genuine seeming 'from' names) Plus, the email had no title, so it sat there, looking like spam.
When I went through to do my regular delete session, up pops this photo, and I'm finding myself all intrigued by this chappie, looking all cute and quizzical.
Only I don't know who chappie is! He probably thinks I'm some bitch who doesnt respond or something!
Its just really bugging me as I feel really rude!

Stick it in your profile pictures (or link to it from your profile - stick it on flickr or something) with a comment saying "Are you this man and think I'm a bitch? Email me again!" or words to that effect :p --

If he's that cute, write to him and tell the truth. You found him in your spam filtre and can't place the email. It sounds a little lame, but will take away whatever hurt he felt by never getting an answer when he sent his pic. How hurtful is that?
Better to blame the technology and a faulty memory, especailly when it's true.
