Miss April was a wonderful 'example' for me. Thank you for focusing on a youngish 'older' woman.Her profile could have been mine!


I will re-evaluate my profile... although I have done this twice with the direction of an E-Harmony operator.


I have been a member of E-Harmony for quite awhile with little to no success. I am almost to the point offrustration to believe that this on-line dating 'process' is not for me. I am aware that by not posting my photo's immediately, ( for privacy issues),mayeliminate many potentials who strictly look at the image first. That I suppose is the reality.


If I could have your professionals analyze (...note theAmerican spelling), I am an enthusiastic participant, who hopefully will do one of your future commercials proving that true love can strike more than once...and at any age! Thank you.

I am quite new to this, and did first check out eharmony during a free communication weekend. I had sent off quite a few questions and replies, but in the following weeks I got so busy, that I simply wasn't able to continue communicating at that time. When I visited "My Matches" almost 8 weeks later, some of my communication partners had closed the conversation from their side, as they were frustrated - understandably so - with my lack of response.


Now, I hadn't intended to be silent for so long, to let so much time pass between reponses, but I can already see that it is quite likely to happen again, the way my life follows spontaneous currents and not so much "the best-laid plans".


It seemed quite clear that some people felt annoyed /disappointed /ticked off /rejected /etc., etc. by my lack of response and/or explanation, and I totally understand that. It certainly wasn't my intention to hurt anyone with my lack of response - and I'd love to be able to let those people know what the reason for the delay was, especially, that it was NOT caused by their questions and answers (as some people seemed to assume). IS THERE ANY WAY THE RANGE OF POSSIBLE ANSWERS TO A "CLOSED COMMUNICATION" COULD BE BROADENED TO INCLUDE SOMETHING LIKE: "Was too busy lately but I will keep communicating if you are interested"???


Oh, and by the way, an 'About me' Makeover would be a gift from the gods --- a great learning tool I would promise to use wisely !!!

Excellent! Nice to hear that "language" construction is still valued.

There is a lot to consider when you take in other points of view, especially ones from "the Experts". I have found that there are no right or wrong answers to most of the questions asked by eHarmony. I find myself constantly changing my profile in an attempt to show the real me. I am afraid, unfortunately,I may have lost out on the possible "perfect" match by doing so. Hopefully not. Two things I hope others pay attention to is the improper use of grammar and frequent spelling errors, whichare a real turn off to a more intelligent person.


P.S. I would love to meet this Miss April!!

I have received so many matches so far, but i have a natural respect for the woman, especially the one i shall finally find as my sweet-beloved wife. So, for this reason ofgreat respect i have for the woman. i do not close women, no matter he reason. I may close u by accident, of which if i notice it, i would quicklymake itopen again. I prefer the woman to close me instead, eventhough i do not call for it. I'm some howone of the old fashion guyswho still believe it's the man to run behind the woman, and that's an in-borne nature in me.


People complicate life a lot. I don't think it's difficult to find a lifetime wife , or husband. Life is too short, and time waits for nobody, but mostpeople who happen to be very highly educated, andrich, would not like to stoop low to marry a poor lady or guy, despite his or her great moral qualities for a sweet lifetime wife , or husband.


The more u wait to find a woman who is an engineer, a doctor, an R.N, a diplomat, and whatever, the more years go buy, and age wear on people. Why not simply go for a very sweet, faithful,loving and caring, spiritual, andromantic-sexy woman, or man, for a lifetime happy marriage, rahter waisting time looking for more rich worldly qualities.


That's the main problem i beieve people stay on eharmony for years. Eharmony is a site for quality people of our society, where people were not supposed to stay on for even two months without getting what they want, be it marriage, dating , or whatever. But since majority of peple consider worldly materialism as criteia for a happy and successful marriage, they keep closing sweetwomen, or men who would have made a harmonious unity with them.

Just a point of observation, you can find organizations that will write wonderful ‘profiles’ for you, however if your personality and disposition doesn’t match the outline you may be looking at a wonderful elephant in the room.

I haven't had a relationship in many years and this is my second time trying eharmony, so far with no dates and virtually not communications. I try regularly to improve on my profile and have followed your tips above, but I am still not having much luck.


I really would like a chance at this. I really would like some input, because I may not want to renew after my three months if I am getting nothing out of this.

I have recently joined eHarmony and I would love one of your profile experts to give me some tips on how to improve my profile! I am very excited about my journey of self-exploration and meeting my life partner! I feel that I am a strong candidate as I am open to constructive criticism and excited about the new direction my life is about to take!
