Why do guys want you to call them or email them on their personal email as soon as OC opens up? I don't feel it is necessary to give out any personal information until you have met. I've met some I didn't even want to give my info to after a meeting?


This puts me off a bit. Anyone else?

Dtg_diz: I don't mind at all and have come up with a rather non-identifying e-mail address, and when I write it only shows my first name without my last name. I highly suggest this. If you go on a date that's not good and let's say he keeps e-mailing you then you can always spam the e-mail.

I have an e-mail address that does not have my name in it all.

One reason for using my personal e-mail over the eHarmony Open Communication system is that Outlook works better as an e-mail client. It will never time out while I am composing a messge. I have had eHarmony time out and log me off all the time while I am composing a message.

Yes, I find that awkward, too.I've hadquite a fewguys FastTrack me their phone number in the first contact. I don't believe in protracted emailing, but I think a phone number early on is not a good idea. I guess these guys who do this haven't encountered 'stalker women' before, eh?

Yep, highly agree. I have two email addresses. One without my real name that I use for online shopping, registering on websites, etc. And one with my name in it that only family, friends and potential employers receive. Cuts way down on the spam!

I guess everyone has a different outlook on the subject. Some prefer to get to know some things about the person thru emails and phone calls before the meeting. I myself prefer personal emails because it gives me the option of seeing what I have sent and what was said. You don't get that with EH messages. A separate email is a good idea. If you don't like them having your phone number just get one of those throw away cell phones and use it specifically for your OC calls.
