Hi, I'm new to eHarmony and have a match nearby I'm very interested in but dont have the money to subscribe right now. Just wondering if anyone knew when the next free communication weekend might be?

I too am interested in when the next Free Communication Weekend is. I am a paying member but I need to clean out my match folder and after a Free Communication Weekend is a good time to do that. If a match does not respond during a Free Communication Weekend then they REALLY are not interested.


The moderators would know when the next Free Communication Weekend is. Lori, Kate, Renee???

I predict it will be on May 7 to 10. If not, it'd have to be two weeks later, i.e., Memorial Day Weekend.


I totally doubt there is one in April. I have a fairly good eHarmony crystal ball.

I was just going to ask this same question...but for a different reason. I am also a paying member, and am wondering if there is a way to know which matches are paying members or just the freebie weekenders? It really sucks having to load up the match list waiting for the far and few between times..

Hi Everyone,


Yes, we’re here. I can appreciate your curiosity. Normally, Free Communication Weekends are scheduled around holidays. Historically we’ve offered themduring Memorial Day weekend. However, at this point nothing has been announced yet. Keep posted and stay tuned – the dates are subject to change.


For those of you who are paying members and concerned about getting non-paying matches, I also want to encourage you that many of those who log in for Free Communication Weekends soon become subscribers andare able to continue communicating.


All the best,


Kate

Kate - EH


Is there a way to know which matches are members or not? Just trying to gauge who's not responding because they can't be bothered, or because they're waiting for free comm. weekend.

Hi Sauble,


That's a very legitimate concern, and we do our best to send matches who, if not already paying, are showing clear signs of interest in the process by actively logging in and viewing their matches. There's no official way to tell; sometimes even paying members don't communicate or have complete profiles, unfortunately. Many non-paying members are eagerly in the process of preparing their profiles so they can join as soon as possible.


The good news is that membership status often changes very quickly -- a non-paying member may soon pay and enter into communication.


As a rule of thumb, if you send communication to any match and don't hear from them within a week, you can send them a "Nudge". Then, if you wait another week and still don't hear from them, you may want to close the match. This way, you are staying reasonably open, but eventually it's only fair to yourself to close the match and move on in your search.


Something to keep in mind: paying members can request to re-open the match by using the Send Final Message feature, and non-paying members, even during Free Communication Weekends, cannot.


All the best,


Kate
