First off, the entire thing is one long run on, incomprehensible, sentence. The red flags are evident everywhere.
"Hello Baby" - Yuck!
"u can call me xxxxx by name" - No one talks like that, let alone writes that that, in real life.
"well baby i can't say much here" - What does that mean? Isn't that what the site's email is for? Don't be fooled. This kind of nonsense it simply a lead in to get you to provide them with an offsite email address.
"but when we get related to one another" - Whoa! See what I mean about unsuitable familiarity?
"I have been hurt so many atleas four or five times by different women" - Well which is it, four or five?
Think about it. If someone spoke to you like this in person, chances are you'd simply roll your eyes and walk away... at least I hope you would! And if you receive an email like this you should do exactly the same thing; walk away.
