Well, I was on eharmony a couple of years ago and didn't so much as go on one date. Went on a lot of dates thru the other online dating site M**ch.com. Went thru a relationship in the meanwhile, and now back on both. Funny thing is, this time not a sniff on M**ch, and have been on several dates thru eharmony....weird how things work. Anyhow, I am in OC with 4 and have another 5 going thru guided comm. With regard to pictures, well, this is an online site. If you have no pics and a blah profile, thats an automatic close. No pics with an interesting profile gets a pic request. Bottom line is though, if I don't find a woman attractive, I close out the match immediately. I've learned thru prior relationships what it is I want and need in a woman and feel that life is way too short to compromise on that. Just my 2 pennies.

Well, I guess I am too picky. I am not communicating with anybody right now......................now that I think about it, I am not being matched with anybody either.

I too like eH as I have had the most "success" here. Currently I am in OC with 2 people and had been in OC with 2 others. I have had 3 dates in the 2 months I have been here, which is a heck of a lot better than the prior years haha.

Normally for me I limit myself to 3 OC at a time and turn off getting new matches in the meantime. Probably not the smartest thing to do, but I am afraid of getting too many just in case.

Your account must be broken. I have been on here for nearly seven months and have only ever gotten three matches to actually respond. Its not really communicating if they never respond.

Haha yeah, if you put actual percentages of ones I got some form of communication with it is a measly 2-3% tops through eH.

Most of them never respond, even if it is just to close it. I am actually happy if someone closes after the first request, it shows they care

I wish I had that problem!! I'm on OC with two guys, one of whom I called last night and had a good, albeit small-talkish, chat. He emailed me today to ask me over for dinner at his place. Turned him down (me going to *his* place for the first date? yeah right!!), but suggested he ask me out for another day. The other one has been silent for a week so I sent him a "hey, what's up" email today. We'll see... Everyone else is mostly not responding.

I have to say, I've had a lot more action on other sites and find that, on average, it takes me 2-3 months to find someone worthy of a second, third, etc., date. We'll see how long it takes me this time!
