Make sure you enter in this information
exactly as shown above.

See you soon!

Sincerely,
The Crush Master

PS. This is not junk email. You've received it
because someone *you know* came to CrushLink and
confessed an interest in you! Maybe it was that
hottie from English class or the cute one at the
party last weekend or maybe--well, we can't even
give you a hint until you come to CrushLink.com.

PPS. If you do not wish to receive any more of
these messages from CrushLink, please visit

I know it's junk, or presume it is - yet curiousity is getting the best of me. I wonder who it is...

:)

Rob

PS - Don't worry, I won't actually sign up for it. It just drives me nuts when I get alerts like this one (I've gotten a few from crushlink).

It might not be spam. The School of Engineering at my school does an online matchmaking thing like that every year for Valentine's Day. You have to pay $1 to find out who your match is, though.

You know what it means when you get an e-mail like that, don't you? Someone really GEEKY has a crush on you. You're better off not knowing who it is. ;)

LOL@Bober. :)

Also, I don't want 20 of my friends getting this email just to find out who sent it to me. :p

I got one and found out this girl I know really does have a &quot;crush&quot; on me. I don't think it is spam. Check it out :)

I'm not sure I want to find out who has a crush on me though. That's like opening a Pandora's box... :p

(translation: I have a girlfriend of 6 years, and I know she didn't send it.)

open it up to see who it is... damn boy...

then again, wouldnt a secret admirer put a more interesting code than &quot;blehblah&quot;, like &quot;iwantyurhotstuf&quot; or something to that affect ;)

You can't see who it is without sending it to a bunch of people first, though. You won't find out who has a 'crush' on you unless you enter their email address; so I could put in 30 people, they'd all get the email, and I might still not know who has a crush on me. Stupid idea, I think.

Yeah, viper, I just did the same thing. Gave me two hints, and while the first one was helpful, the second cancelled it out. :p

I did the fake info thing to get hints too months ago, I narrowed it down very easily to exactly who it was, but it was someone I clearly didn't want to deal with so I didn't put her name in as my guess, and she gets no mail, haha.

I haven't the slightest who it is. I've tried just about everyone in my address book, and still no sign. It's driving me nuts, and it's probably just someone who was doing the same thing as me. :)
