Which is more believable? (Dilemma)?

Well, the first one appears to be more believeable. HOWEVER, I wouldn't try either, to be honest. This guy must mean a lot to you if you're prepeared to lie just to view his profile, and make a new account. When I get a new friend request, I ALWAYS check their profile first, and if they don't have a profile picture, or I've never heard of their name then there's NO WAY I'm gonna add them. If I were you, I'd just be completely honest. If you really want to try and view his profile, then I'd chose the first because the second one is more likely to get you banned if you pose as someone else. I've had someone pose as me before and I was actually really upset because they get your profile pictures. Besides, he might ask the person that he thinks you really are questions that you don't know the answer too. I'd just be honest. Honesty is the best policy, and you might end up digging yourself into a hole that needn't be dug, haha. Good luck :)
