This will be my first free weekend on EH (I'm a member currently). What can I expect? A flood of matches that don't respond?
The best think I have found is get through the questions ASAP, and leave an email or phone number as soon as possible to give them an out

Which is exactly what I did. The free weekend ended Monday, today is Thursday, and I haven't heard from anyone.

I just figured out where all the money people spend on eHarmony's services goes: PR.

Wow, you should win an award for the post, Kate.

Do you personally know anyone who has tried the service and not had a good experience? or are the only people who dislike eHarmony posting on these boards?
It’s actually very normal for people to feel negative about their eHarmony experience – it’s natural to encounter frustrating obstacles in the process of searching for the right person. Many people even feel that their heart is on the line.

That’s why we hosts are here, in fact. Not for “PR”, but to help improve the customer experience and do what we can to enable success. Part of our efforts to improve the experience does involve helping people overcome barriers to success like discouragement, rejection, disappointment – things that inherently can arise while you are on the service. We hope that some of the perspectives we offer can help people get through those rough patches and onto finding what they came here for.

maybe there is something in your profile that's a turn off.

I actually meant people that responded to me and got to the second questions/open communication phase and gave an e-mail adress and have heard nothing since. That's not a profile problem.

[QUOTE=eH_Advice_Host_Kate;622172]To find out when Free Communication Weekends are,

If you are not a subscriber, you will receive e-mails from us notifying you. We usually air television and radio ads during those times to inform our members. If you are on eHarmony Advice, chances are the topic will arise around the times we hold Free Communication Weekends. They do often occur around holiday weekends, however, we may offer one at an unexpected time, so stay tuned.

Ok guys/girls.I was a free weekend trial person and I actually had good luck. I met a guy I really liked and dated him for a couple months until I ended it with him bc of something he did. Anyways we don't do the free trial to tease anyone or anything. We really want to meet someone special to but we want to try it out to see if it's worth all that money. When I did it I replied to everyone very promptly and told them I wan't a pay member yet but then I gave them my e-mail address so they could continue talking to me after the trial ended. I decided not to join bc it was like 70/30. Some guys fit me and what I like and others were WAY off from my type. I had my distance thing set to within 30 miles and got matched with 2 people from out of state. So why would I want do join if 70 % of my matches didn't interest me in the least and some lived in another state. That's not very good matching if you ask me. It also takes so long to get to the open communication part and free trials can't do fast track. I look of the guys on myspace or ask them to e-mail me a pic b4 I commit to meeting them or anything. Yeah that sucks to I can't see anyones pics. I like this site though the info thing.
