>Most are just very normal people saying hi to strangers. When did that get creepy? Everyone is a stranger the first time they meet. I've met more than one girlfriend online without knowing anything about them, and our first contact was pretty much exactly like those messages. It's about context. You might exchange these sorts of messages on OK Cupid, because that's the point - you sign up for that service to exchange "romantic" introductions. Would you say any of these things to a colleague at the office? To borrow from one of the messages posted on this site, if you worked for a hospital, would you walk up to an ICU nurse and say "hey, you're pretty, I could use some intensive care?"
