And I search by match%, so often the same names come up repeatedly. So, I just click and check it out. It's the same kind of silly behavior for people that stalk their favorite cricket or news sites, or play too much farmville, or check my friend's facebook profile often. I don't really see it as stalking (although it is an indication of a time-waster), absent intruding on someone's private space, being secretive, intimidatory or soliciting responses. Now, if someone starts messaging without response - that crosses the boundaries. But just my viewpoint. I'd suggest don't read too much into it, unless the person starts behaving stalkerish in messaging or bugging you. Well, because I spend too much free time on the net.
