Given the many pages of "hopefuls" here who have not been picked for a profile makeover (Is anyone getting picked? This article is now over a year old...), it appears that quite a few people are anxious to get some feedback on their profiles.


You can do that right here! Just cut-and-paste your profile responses into a message and post it in the "Using eHarmony" forum, along with a request for feedback from the community. You are sure to get some helpful responses.

I had been on e-harmony for months and only one responded back in real emails and that went back and forth for one month. The irony of it that he was a teacher right there in my daughter's school or is it a flat out lie ? ( no, she is not in any of her classes) Then one day, he sent a final email and that was it. I was really hurt. Enough. Since then, no other responses, not even answers to my questions as I usually send out to each person matched. What's is wrong with the people out there ? Geez, there are a lot of lonely hearts with bruised egos or are they too nitpicky ?


I have a lot to offer as a great friend, am in a stable permanent job, and much more. I find this is such a humuliating experience to endure through this weekly so it is either I close my profile for good or perhaps someone can provide gentle feedback on my profile ?





Thanks.

I'm first!!! I've spent 17 unmarried years with the same man. I left him 4 years ago because he "suddenly" didn't want marriage and children. I was on E-Harmony for 2 years and only had one date (my first since 1988) and 2 people who were interested in talking with me on the site or the phone. I'm back on after a 2-year hiatus and am having the same issues. I'm also on medication to hold off complete infertility, which is an added stress. What am I doing wrong on my profile???

I think the article was good, but I would like a couple more examples. I am a person who struggles to write this kind of information about myself in a upbeat and positive format. I learn in this area better seeing examples so I can put your comments into action.


I have been able to get to direct communication with seven woman in the four months that I have been on eH site. so I think the profile is ok but could use improvement. I always say that there is room for improvement but enjoy where you are.


The people I met are different that the people that I discovered in the emailing and phone calling process. I usually exchange at least 4 emails before exchanging phone numbers. I like to talk two or three times before meet. (normally we talk at lest 30 minutes a call.


After three or four dates the person changes (maybe it is me that changes). I do not know if I am just not paying attention or the fact the majority of women are looking for a committed relationship.I think when people start to feel comfortable you see more of them(personality, who they are, or what they really want). Please help!

I'm also new to this site and have not dated in over 20yrs.  Am afraid to come across too negative and dry. It has been a long time  and things sure have changed. 


I worry about my conversation and too many what the do's and don'ts might be and worry if i make the wrong one and my confidence will go even lower esp being an olser women over 50.

I have been on here for several years. I think at times I get more closes than openings. I need to know if there is something I'm missing or something I need to add. Any advice would be helpful.


Thanks!
