What Is A Lurker And Do You Have One?

Ever gone out with someone who ended the relationship but still watches your every move online? You might have a ‘lurker’ - someone who’s told you they’re not interested in dating or even flat out ghosted you but is still the first person to watch all your stories and like your content. You tell us why you either hate or secretly love them, and we hear from self confessed lurkers as to why they stick around.
