Lesson for today: at least pretend like you’re an intelligent member of society.
If anyone can decode this, I’d greatly appreciate a translation. I can get about half way through, and then my brain just starts screaming “GET OUT NOW!” in case there are any word bombs planted in this minefield of a paragraph.
Hugs,

hahaha this is my life ALL THE TIME! A few weeks back I started getting all these FB messages from this guy and they were super creepy. Creepy to the point that I had to block him on FB and Twitter. (And no, this wasn't Eric.) People keep asking to see the messages so maybe I'll share them one day and we can get a good laugh out of them together!
I think me desire to proof read my creepy messages to ladies takes something away from them. I will have to start misspelling more often.
Oh oh, I love these!
Spent some time of my own on a datingsite and I always asked the women that I talked to about what kind of other emails they've gotten.
Typically they sounded pretty much like the one quoted with the addition of it being middle-eastern men wanting to marry them for a nice pack of camels (not the cigarettes mind).
What I like the most however is how they always include stuff like "I'm not only here for sex... but if you are?" It's like they're trying to put something about themselves in there, but they don't want to say it if they don't know your stance on that point.
As you see my grammar and spelling is as horrible as the next guy, guess it comes with the territory of being from Sweden.
P.S This is what I expect from Eric. http://www.geekologie.com/2009/08/07/star-wars-love-letter.jpg
Is this a Nigerian dating scam? Looks like it was blasted to a bunch.
What about proper use of whom? Most people don't consider it poor grammar to use "who" all the time. Is using "whom" instead of who (where appropriate) something that would be appealing, or seen as unnecessary?
@WhoOrWhome
Personally, I am a guy, but to me, a girl that knows the proper use of whom and who scores a few extra points. That being said, if you can't use it it's not a big deal.
I read this entirely in a Mexican accent... and we all know how much you love that.
