So apparently someone liked and messaged me but by time she eventually comes up in the stupid tinder thing it could be weeks or months later and she’s just moved on.

That's how they try to get you so you pay to see likes. Online dating 101.

You only see messages after you’ve both liked each other

She didn't sign her name, or some screen name, or something?

Here’s how it works
Unless you’ve both liked each other the message is invisible and OkCupid just says someone messaged you. It’s suppose to then put them in the top of the swiping list but I only had one person in my list and it wasn’t her apparently.
So unless I like her back I’ll never see her message.

^ This, and sly... the message may be programmatically generated (fake) by Okc itself, to
make you pay.

If liking her back was an option without paying, I'm sure he'd have done it by now, but my understanding is that you can't see who likes you unless you pay for a membership.

Could be but I doubt it. I got a fake march from pof with clearly professional model pictures and poor grammar that said she only wants to hear from premium members. Also have a phone number, doubler scam ? Lol
I’d considered paying for some dating sites but even if I saw the few(7) women who liked me it wouldn’t matter most are from years ago and forgot about me and they’d never date me anyways.

She hasn’t come up to like. She may have blocked me apparently is one reason
I’ve liked 99% of women on OkCupid in my state. Tens of thousands of women.
So I only get 1 person to swipe on a day some days there’s non.

OkCupid has pretty much dried up for me.
Tinder, pof,bummble have me doing 30ish a day.
Thousands and thousands of women liked non liked me back, what’s that tell you?

I don’t much like the idea of paying to be rejected by women.
They sometimes ask me to comment and I say 1 star and they ask what they can do better and I say i dont know can you make women like me if not don’t think there’s much you can do. I’m not their idea demographic.

Yeah I wouldn't expect or advise you to pay for a membership, it could be a bot or someone who just doesn't reply, or someone you aren't interested in. I was just explaining to kitty why you couldnt just message the girl who liked you.

If it's a legitimate message, you have to search for matches and her picture should have a blue bar (if I remember right) under it. It will look different than the other profiles in your search results. It's stupid, because they don't really explain that, but I learned it when I got a message like you're describing.

~30 matches a day you mean? That's not bad at all.
