I am a wife and a mother of three grown sons. I live in New York and am an equestrian. Most of my free time is spent riding and caring for my horses now that my sons are out of the house.

I give down to earth advice, as I tell it like I see it...and I've seen alot.

Ok abouta year ago this guy messaged me on myspace. I went to his page and decided that I didn't know him so I just told him that I didn't know him and then ignored him.

A year passes by and about a half of a month ago he messaged me again. He said "I like it to write to u because u had my old url and I thought that maybe we could be friends". So I did some research on him.

I looked on his myspace and learned that it was a musician's account. He is a musician and he lives in Germany.(I listened to some of his songs and they really aren't that bad. I especially liked travelogue and hard to be a girl).

I can hear the german in his voice (for some reason he likes to sing in english better?) and so I'm pretty sure that he is actually not a 40 yr old rapist from Alabama that is putting on a show. I went to his youtube account and looked at his pictures, everything seems legit.

But here's the catch. I'm 16 and my myspace says that. He is 26, which I learned from his youtube account. That is a 10 year difference. While I don't believe that he is a rapist, I also can't imagine why he would be talking to me. He keeps starting conversations and asking about my interests and stuff. My pictures on myspace aren't like the hottest pictures ever or anything and he doesn't hint at anything like that. I'm actually pretty bitchy to him because I still don't trust him.

So my question is, what are his motives? I'm pretty sure he isn't a rapist so don't suggest it. I still have it as a possibility so don't worry. Maybe he just wants a fanbase? I have no idea. If anyone could help me figure out why he is bothering to talk to me then please it would be extremely helpful. I have been racking my brain and I still can not figure him out.

If you want to help me look into it, his myspace is www.myspace.com/edwardstockton

You can see for yourself that he seems harmless. Also he's extremely nice and sweet in his messages. He calls me "fraulein" and he always wonders about how I am doing and stuff.

So in conclusion, what do you think is driving him to talk to me? Tell me if you need more information. (link)
Does he know how old you are? I would cut off communication with him. You are considered a child if you are under the age of 18. Besides, what possible interest could a grown man have in a child? This doesn't sound wholesome to me.

Pedophiles are out there in numbers. Please, be very careful as they are shrewd and crafty and will never let you know their true intentions unless they truly believe they can get away with it.

Yeah...But like I said. I'm very aware of the fact that he could be up to no good. My age is on myspace, but where I live or what schools I go to or where I work are not.

I still don't trust him and I don't give away personal information or anything to him. I will take your warning into major consideration.
