I am a former member who decided to try the Free Communication Weekend to see what happens. It runs this weekend from Friday - Monday and I am curious to see if 1) I get any matches, 2) Any of my matches will respond to me and 3) Can we complete the process before the Free Communication Weekend is done. I am not interested becoming a paying member afterthis weekend is done because past experiences have not gotten me anywhere.


I would like to know ifanyone metsome during the Free Communication weekend and if so, how did it go?


Thanks,


Nettaboo

This would be my first open weekend since I joined eHarmony. Honestly I haven't noticed any uptick in my inbox. I did get some closed notices from those there was no activity. So I guess open weekend allows non-members to close matches, or were they always able to?

YES- I actually have ! I know, i was surprised too. After trying this site off and on for several years and meeting absolutely -no one- that even remotely excited me. We'll see how this goes but it happened completely out of the blue, and when i least expected it.:-)))

You have to hope that someone constantly checks their eharmony over a free communication weekend. Otherwise, there's no way you will ever get through the communication process.


Oftentimes, paying customers will avoid going onto eH over the free weekend in order to avoid people who are taking advantage of it. And just the same, people often avoid logging in to eH on ANY weekend, so as to not look like they don't have a life.

I'm a member. Never did a "Free weekend" tourist thing - & this is the first one I've been here for.


I have one match with possibility - I havefasttracked - he agreed. One E-mail exchange. I have no idea to tell how to identify the freebie cruisers from members who won't disappear in the wind on Monday. DOES ANYONE KNOW IF THERE'S SOME WAYTO IDENTIFY THEM? Are they told,Do they even realize, that they are running against Cinderella's clock?


If I don't hear back, I'm going to be so bold (with apologies to Greg Berendt and cavemen everywhere who wanna be pursuers) and send one of my outside alt e-mail adds to him tomorrow - explaining somehow (haven't quite figured out the way to say it yet) that if EH cuts you off, here's how to contact me. (?)

I also participated in this weekend and joined. I believe I am spiritually ready to handle God's Blessing of finding a partner. Sometimes it is our own hearts that create the roadblock.


Pray about it, ask God what is his will for your life and what do you need to reflex upon in your own life to allow him to release this blessing to you.


Remember God wants only the best for us, but we have to be right in our hearts with him. If not where just to just circle that same mountain until we get the real message that it's God's way or the highway.


That's the painful truth! God Bless I will pray for you

I'm a new member, but I noticed that since the 'free weekend' started, I got an increased number of potential matches that all shared two fatal flaws:


1. They did not include any pictures


and


2. Their profiles were very vague, and incomplete


Those are simply my observations, I hope they help!


Good luck! =0)
