> unless you choose to use Secret Crush Add all your friends to Secret Crush. Watch who matched you. "Sorry buddy, I wasn't really using the thing, I just added everyone, but thanks for letting me know you like me!" Idiots. And this is why the shared identity is a terrible idea for dating sites. You want dating profiles to be throwaway, and you want it to be hard for your friends to find your dating persona for this reason! But of course Facebook doesn't understand the need to keep secrets from (some of) your friends.

You can only have 9 Secret Crushes at a time. Believe it or not, they actually have put some thought into their final product based on the beta tests conducted in smaller international markets.

  Ok, so then you rotate that list through your friends. They might make it tedious to go through all my friends, but if I'm determined enough, I can do it.

    Well, let me finish your hypothetical situation for you. You: "Sorry buddy, I wasn't really using the thing, I just added everyone, but thanks for letting me know you like me! Haha gotcha! :D" Them: "Oh, okay... [You fuckin' weirdo. -20 rapport]" I don't really see the epic exploit here.

    No, because that would require you and your friends to be in each others crush list at the same time. Unless you and your friends only have 9 facebook friends each, you prove nothing with this bizarre hypothetical you've constructed.

      People who seriously use this feature will put their secret crushes on the list, and then forget about it. I come along a few months later, and rotate all my friends through this list, and so I discover which of my friends have secret crushes on me, because I'm not using the feature like you're "supposed" to.

        It doesn't work that way based on the international betas, but if you want to believe you've hacked Facebook Dating, go ahead and believe that if it will make you feel better.

Oh, of course. I mean, Facebook thrives by NOT keeping anything about its users from third parties.

>"Sorry buddy, I wasn't really using the thing, I just added everyone, but thanks for letting me know you like me!" Just say you were doing the same thing. Can atleast deny it to leave some doubt, can't really question why you added everyone to Secret Crush when they also apparently did it.
