One thing that you could try over the free weekends is to maybe request fast-tracks with whoever looks promising. They can't actually fast track without signing up so it might inspire them to buy a month or two. Don't get discouraged ;p

Trying the free weekend myself and feel there is an unfair advantage to paying members. Supposed you just don't have the funds to spare over this weekend? Got one flexmatch, but will probably never know more than a first name and age. Too bad, it sounded promising!!

with the slow pace of progress in EH communication it seems rare to even get to OC with someone over the free weekend. Plus, you cant see photos if you are not a paying member, so basically non-payers have to fire off a million salvos and then will draw ire from the members who do pay later on.
Gee I love the FCW. Sometimes I will get matches that are Free Weekenders and communicate with them sometimes not. So far this weekend I have made it through to OC with 4 or 5. Even so very interesting matches. Not sure why you think that communication is slow. Many times I have gone through Guided Communication and on to Open Communication in a couple of hours and have even done it in less than one hour.

I have had a couple who asked if I would send them a photo to their personal e-mail and have not heard back from them since

I have to laugh... the one match I got on this free weekend is up to the second questions, and he used the space to answer one of my questions to say this: "I have been given a 4 day free trail by eHarmony. There is no way I can meet anyone going through this Q&A process. I think I have been gamed by eHarmony. Hopefully this doesn't offend you but .... if you like, please call me at (gives phone number)."

While his picture looks nice, he's in a similar profession to mine, and he is also "spiritual but not religious," not a single answer to any of my questions so far have led me to believe we will be compatible. He's always early for things/I am generally running late. He doesn't believe in soul mates/I have had 3 in my life. At the end of a bad day he'd try joking around with me/I want someone to listen and rub my shoulders. He's an early bird/I'm a night owl. I'm not fond of big dogs/he has a Great Dane/Black Lab mix. He's really competitively into golf and tennis, and sharing those interests is among his "must haves..." while I am not athletic. And one of his "can't stands" is among the only two that raise a yellow-to-red flag to me (I don't put a lot of weight on the must haves/can't stands, but they do give you a glimpse as to how the other person has been treated in prior relationships).

So.... I think I am unlikely to call him even though he has already generously supplied his phone number with a day and a half left to his free trial.
Ooh, ooh (waving hand wildly). I am always early but I am very good at waiting patiently. I believe in soul mates, I just have not found mine yet it would seem. At the end of a bad day I am going to try and do whatever will help to make your day better. Joking around is not what I would think of first. Some people think that I never sleep. I have no dogs, big or small. I am not involved in sports in a competitive manner. Healthy and active with moderate exercise works for my match.

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.
