I've seen a lot of threads about who should make the first move on eHarmony proper. However on eHarmony advice, who out there requests to be added as a friend if it is between a man and a woman? Does the man make most of the requests?

Also, are there any advantages to being a friend other than to view his/her photo album if there is one? [I am thinking of putting up a photo album to be shared with my friends in the near future.]

Does anyone remember/know Melanie's "Beautiful People"?

Either! From what I see, if you want a friend you ask ’em straight up. What’s the worst they could do, say no? *grin* For me, my first friend is a woman- I sent out three friend requests, one of which got accepted, got another few from females and a couple from the guys. Mostly I see it as a way to keep up with where they are posting, because my friends say the darndest things… *grin* And they are quite cool, interesting folk as well.

And though I don’t recall what you are asking about… My friends are, to me, "Beautiful People."

I agree with Wootz; I don't think it should be an issue who sends out the friend request. I've sent a few, and some have replied while others have not. I've been on the receiving end, as well. It's up to that person if they choose to accept or not.

It totally doesn't matter! It's "just" a friend request.

Note, too, that people add friends for all kinds of reasons. Sometimes it's because they find a person's posts interesting and want to be able to follow them more easily. Sometimes it's because the person has responded to one of their posts in a thread and they appreciated the response. Sometimes it's because they have been chatting in PMs and have started to build a friendship. Sometimes it's because they want to get to know the other person better... So, no need to follow any kind of "dating rules" for this.

I agree with all the above posters.

Recently within the past few weeks, I rejoined the E-Harmony discussion board after being away for a while. Just the past few days I have sent out friend requests to both men and women and also have had requests sent to me. Some have accepted me and some have not -- just don't take it personally if they don't accept you =)

I'm just starting to get the hang of this board and all the different topics and have really started to enjoy getting to know everyone and having more friends and seeing what everyone is up to.

Have fun and it doesn't matter if you send out the friend request or someone else sends you one. As what Wootz said --"If you want a friend - ask 'em straight up."

I have a great excuse here - my friends request is not working
But it works brilliantly because I only seem to attract likeminded people as friends

The vast majority of my friends requested it from me. It's not that I'm big-headed but I don't turn down friend requests and at the same time I don't really find the ability all that useful so I rarely send requests. To me it's simply a way to keep track of what posters you're interested in have to say by reporting their posting activity. You can send PMs just fine without being "friends."

I wouldn't treat friends here as you would eHarmony matches. You can if you want but it's unlikely many other people share that view. But if you're worried about etiquette or innuendo through a friends request I wouldn't worry about it.

Go ahead and ask all the pretty ladies you want to be your friend .

I'm sorry that I was a little unclear when I started this thread. I was not really looking for advice - although thanks for it - I was just curious about what other posters here do, if others are shy about requesting and accepting friends. I'm not! [And a special thanks to you PoliticalChick01.]

i try to post replies that have to do with reality rather then the "everything will be ok" hype that eharmony wants you to post. censorship is a b it ch huh?

as for friend requests... i guess i'm not that insecure. request me to be your friend / accept my friend request... or not. either way i don't care.

as they say: you can lead a horse to water...

I'm confused; what are you referring to here? eHA doesn't "want" you to post anything in particular; all opinions are welcome and different views are not censored. You do, though, have to maintain a certain level of civility, no matter what your opinion (you can review the community standards by clicking on the link below).
