Boyfriend wants to set up a fake okcupid profile, what does this mean?

Q.   I've been writing to this guy on okcupid for the past 6 months, during which time I was living abroad, and we couldn't meet. When we finally did meet, we had a deep connection. He's introverted, and didn't make any moves on me. Finally, on the ...
