"Je hebt me kennelijk geblocked in je MSN, is daar nog een specifieke reden voor? Zou dat dan graag van je horen."

It has been over two months, but since you apparently can’t take a hint: yes, I have blocked you from MSN. The reason is, quite simply, because you are creepy. You e-mailed me because you were interested in my exchange-student situation – not unusual – so I answered you even though you are 47 years old. But then you started talking about meeting me in person and taking me to dinner, and you started calling me ‘dear’ and wanting to join into MSN conversations with my friends. That was weird enough, but then you asked, “So an old guy like me would have no chance?” meaning 'with me', and then “Is it the age?” Somewhat taken aback (because I had initially thought you were joking), I answered that you were old enough to be my father, and you then told me that you couldn't change that, but that you 'still love [me] like a daughter'. That was the night I blocked you. You have to understand that my generation has been raised to be acutely aware of the dangers that the Internet can present, and all of those things put together were giving me an extremely creepy feeling about you. I’m sure you would tell me that you 'didn’t mean it that way', but I have a lot of experience with Internet contacts and I trust my instinct. You will not get a second chance from me; you are blocked and it will stay that way. Feel free to read the site – it is, after all, open to the public – but after this I will not respond to any attempts at contact.
