I got the following email in my OKCupid inbox this morning:
Hello dear!
How are you?
Looking at your profile makes me feel I have my heart right in your hands...You're so cute! and outgoing!
Every time I see someone like you, I tend to be protective...So I am for you. Because of your character, the right person to befriended is someone like me who understands, respects, protects, serious and real...
I already stated that I am single and eventually interested in a serious relationship...since it takes time to built a relationship...For that I am open to hangout with you, have fun, go to movies, walk in the park , laugh and so on
Now the only thing that I want to know is : "Are you open to spend time with me, do you really want to enjoy my company"???
Waiting for your reply!
until then take care!
OH EM GEE, what do I write back????!?!?!? This guy could be the one!*
*This is sarcasm, in case that wasn't clear. I'm not as good at it as Edith Zimmerman.

Um, saying that he feels like he "has your heart in his hands" makes me uncomfortable. Serial killer much?
I'd like to know where disembodied-heart-in-hands imagery falls in these graphs of OKCupid's message response rates, but unfortunately they didn't include that phrase in their model: http://contexts.org/socimages/2009/09/28/what-do-women-want/
I feel like something was lost in translation.
Oh okcupid. I'm incredibly fond of the messages where I white guy confesses to me that he's never found black women attractive but there's something different about me. I'm not sure whether they're expecting a slow 80's movies clap or a note of congrats.
