He said that I didn't say anything bad on here but that he almost cancelled when he read the "expenses" thread and found out how "high maintenance" I am (I think it's the cost of business and dressing for what you want so I'm okay with it) and when he read in a thread how I had 8 dates this weekend, because he didn't want to be just a number. Which is fair. I would think some pretty horrible things about me if I read that about someone and didn't know about them too .

I guess if someone read my posts and knew the less pc thoughts that I share on here, and he still was interested...that would be rather big...it takes quite a while for the truth to come out in a relationship and dating someone that knew those thoughts before hand would be a bonus.
Sorry, Faraday!

My avatar picture is also on my eH profile (yes, I was scraping the bottom of the barrel for profile pictures..), so its possible that a match could recognize me. I tend not to post about my day to day dating issues, particularly with women that I met on eH, but there's still plenty of information about me on here that I might not otherwise share with a match in the early stages of dating. On balance, I think that the value of the advice I've received on these boards is worth the risk that a match might read my posts and hold them against me. If I end up re-joining eH, I will probably upgrade my photos, and leave off the John Deere picture, which will eliminate the risk.

Were any of your dates this weekend promising?

I've never put my pic here but two eH guys deduced who I am here from comments they read here and comments I made to them. I'm very careful now not to duplicate my words in different venues. At first I was angry when eHa decided to delete older postings, but now I think it might be for the best as not only do my opinions change but sometimes I post in a 'celebratory' mood and am not always appropriate. Small, small world and since eH and eHa advertise on one another it makes sense that a lot of the same people are reading and using both. However, I'm perfectly capable of embarrassing myself in real life without help here.

...from here! My date tonight knew me from eHa. He's never posted but he's read the forums...and because I was using the same avatar pic as one of my eH pics...he recognized me. Awkward lol.
I am trying to figure out why your match knowing you are on the eHarmony Advice boards would be awkward unless you are posting things that are secret

Ufta!
8 dates in one weekend!

I know you mention later here that you have to pack them tightly because you have so little free time, being a single-mom, etc...

But, ouch!!!

Back when I was on eHarmony and still looking, I *NEVER* *EVER* scheduled more than 1 date per day, (ie, 2 dates a weekend at most!)

I never felt comfortable with any more than that, and would have totally felt "dirty" meeting up with 2 different girls on the same day...
Personally I would consider it disrespectful to schedule something else after a date. You are not going to be fully involved with the person you are on that date with. It is like you walking into the date with your kitchen timer and you set it down on the table and say "OK, you have an hour to impress me."

PS: I had a gal that I dated for awhile last year recognize me from eHarmony Advice, back when I was "featured" last winter.

Like you, she really only knew it was me, because I used one of my regular eHarmony pics as my pic here too.

For myself, since everything I post here is straight-up and honest,I definitely didn't mind that she (or any of my dates) read my posts here.
