I think early on I managed to go semi-invisible (full invisibility does exist, but you have to pay for it on this site, literally pay for it, not like they shame you publicly, though I wouldn’t put it past them), which means I can’t see who has visited me (except when whatever matrix okcupid uses decides they’ve visited enough or they are little enough of an enemy to be deemed “a great match!”), and vice versa. But when I’m online my profile will receive a huge banner reading “ONLINE NOW!”, and people (it’s happened, oh my, it has, damn you jesus) can then okcupid IM me. You can imagine my surprise, not to mention distinct sense of betrayal, when I got my first IM message, not realizing, of course, that a special okcupid IM apparatus even existed.
I hate dating writing. I like Cristina’s.
