Okay perhaps guys don't identify with this in the same as girls as we sometimes have reason to be paranoid but here goes... A while ago, in December, I wrote to a woman who runs a blog I read. It's an American blog with mostly American readers and a lot of regular commenters. I wanted advice on a guy I was dating where things had gone a bit awry. She asked if she could post the email and response on the blog as it would be useful to other readers. I said yes, but asked her to take out certain things. She gave me a nickname, "Anne", same for the guy. In the opening of the post she confessed that she'd googled me and saw the pictures from social media websites. She said I looked like Kate Upton and found it relevant to readers as a measurement of attractiveness. The rest of the post was basically my email and a description of the situation which I tried not too make too detailed. However in the commenting field I accidentally mentioned I live in London. The post got a lot of comments, and a few shares on facebook. I told her I was paranoid about the guy finding out, although I have no reason to believe he reads such dating blogs. She told me not to worry, as 85% of her readers are American. Now she wrote to me saying that one commenters has offered his/her advice and asked for my personal email. He/she wrote "I know it's an odd request, but you've seen my comments here and I believe that I have some advice she could use, advice that perhaps would best not be discussed in public blog comments. If it's not a problem with you or Anne, please send me her e-mail address so I can contact her one-on-one. It would be a pity if she let this newest development get to her." I am a natural skeptic, I'm worried it's someone who knows me or him or something. However most of readers have really great advice. I'm wondering if I should give an alternate email address which doesn't have my full name? | |||
