I'm a bit frustrated with Icebreakers - tho part of it is my doing. Got a match with no photo. The profile seemed good, so I sent an icebreaker asking for a photo. Then I shifted this match into my maybe file. And promptly forgot about it. What I didn't realize is that within a week the match's profile was updated to include nice photos. I didn't catch on until 1 mo later...so I have initiated contact (yesterday). I hope this person doesn't think I'm not worth a chance. If there was someway to find out if the ice breaker was responded to that would be helpful.

What I gather from the pre-establishedice breakers remarks, is they are a waste of time. Not the gesture, so to speak, just the remarks. It's equivalent to someone saying, "good morning," or "nice outfit." Just being polite not necessarily opening a door to a future together. "A WINK!" How is one supposed to turn a wink into a marriage proposal? Is there a spot where a personalized "ice breaker" may be launched? Perhaps I'll look again.

Hi Niecey3,


The eHarmony Advice site that you’re posting in is free. With the eHarmony matching service, it is free to fill out the Relationship Questionnaire, get the Personality Profile report, post photos, write an Introductory Information page and receive matches. To see your matches’ photos and to send communication besides the Icebreakers, you do have to subscribe.


From time to time however, we do offer Free Communication Weekends (we just had one last weekend) where you can communicate with your matches for free.


Sincerely,


Kate

Hi Norinkia,


You are right that there are many things you could say to start a conversation – all of the messages are pre-selected for privacy and safety reasons and do imply a desire for further contact rather than just another way to be cordial. Icebreakers are named for their purpose – they are just meant to break the ice. The objective is to set a friendly tone for the more in-depth communication that follows.


Icebreakers are gentle starter messages for members who feel a little shy to be the initiator or who don’t wish to launch into the more serious Guided Communication deal-breaker questions off the bat.


All the best,


Kate
