Partly because my on board persona has recently become unrecognisable to me and better balance is required.

and

because I don't think Eharmony members are very flirty! At least not whilst they're on Eharmony they're not. People are giving it a little go here on the boards, and you have to respect that, but EHarmony? Not so much.

Your thoughts..........................

I can only speak for myself, and I was born to flirt.

Hi, Trixie. Glad you are joining us on the boards!

I think you are right but I think some of it has to do with the situation. On EHA (the advice site) people come on the boards and hang out. It is a more relaxed environment so you can be yourself and that makes it easy to get to know people and their personalities/

On EH, the dating site, it is more of an interview situation. You are trying to present yourself in a way that is not misinterpreted and you are judged initially by one page and a few pics on a profile. It takes a while to get to that stage where you can be flirty.

The boards are a lot of fun!

eharmony does seem to have a more straight-laced, serious clientele. You won't find Joey Tribiani on there.

in any case......How you doin?

I don't flirt with men that I am attracted to AND have a real chance of meeting. I am an utter and complete dork when it comes to dating when I really like a guy.

I have come to accept it and I hope the guy that likes me accepts it too!

A bit backwards? Probably, but does dating ever make sense? LOL

Oh dear god no, you can't flirt with someone you like, that's not humanly possible. Flirting is merely for practise with people you really wouldn't do, so that when you meet someone who you would, you have a better shot at stringing a sentence together.

Unless you get really unlucky and mix up you "woulds" and "wouldn'ts" and find yourself inadvertantly married to the basic flirt model. It can happen, so be careful.

I agree with you. I view eHarmony as nothing more than an introduction.

I don't take it any more seriously than the other site that I am on.
