... yet not to be used for matching???

So I logged in today and it said that there were new profile questions to be answered by that they will not affect my matching. At the end it seems like these will be used for introductions (those 3 line intros of when you get a match, instead of the generic "Tom plays well with others".

I remember one question my eating habits (yeay! since I am a vegan), another questions my TV watching habits (yeay! since I don't own one) and one asked me about music and books, also where did I get my undergraduate degree.

Did you get those too? Do you think they should use this new info for matching also? I think so

I got new questions - but they weren't the same as those???

One was about books/reading, but I can't remember the other two off the top of my head. I skipped them for the moment -- but now I can't seem to access them again?

I hadn't logged in today, so when I saw this I went ahead and logged in, and I got a SLEW of questions about:

  • sense of humor
  • approach to food
  • where I got my undergrad degree
  • favorite bands
  • approach to money
  • favorite movies
  • approach to being on time
  • television watching habits
  • what I do with my spare time
  • what books I've read in the last year
  • if someone dropped by unannounced, what kind of state they would find my house in


Some of these I'd be fine with up front, but other things I'd prefer to wait on sharing with someone when I know them a bit better. I don't really like to talk money right off the bat, for example--it's not an interview for a job (well, you know what I mean).

The impression I got was that if you share common interests with a match, they'll point these out on your profile, and then you'll have something to talk about if you start communicating with said match.

Thanks brneyedangel!! I am under the weather and I didn't have pen and pencil around to write them down!!

Yeap yeap.. I think if any of this coincides they will add them to that initial "We'll like to introduce you to Jenny from Kalamazoo. If you dropped by to see her, you will see the mess her place is!" :P

Amazing.. I wonder now...

LOL or we'd like to introduce you to Pat from anytown who has a maid, 5 cars, and is over his/her head in debt!

You've got me wondering now, too!

Ooh your post begs so many questions (not necessarily of you).
1. You say that you had not logged in today. I have several matches that have stated that they don't check their eHamony or e-mail every day. I have viewed this as that they are not really serious about finding a match / date / mate. Comments?

2. You have matches that communicate?

When I logged in I had a popup about this and I just closed it. Have I missed out on something new and good? The story of my life.

2. You have matches that communicate?
1. I log in every day, but I just didn't get around to it yet today. I'm not sure that people who don't log in every day aren't serious. I know some people who log in only when they are notified that they have matches, but these people also don't keep others hanging. If they know they aren't interested, they close. If they are interested, they send questions.

2. Yes, I do get matches that communicate; however, I am not currently communicating with anyone. I did get a new match the other day who I find intriguing, but he's way over on the other side of the country. I may just send him first questions anyway and see what happens...you never know!

Side note: I have two colleagues who met their spouses on eH, and my cousin is seriously dating someone she met on eH, as well. I see wedding bells in her future, too. It took a long time and a lot of weeding for all of them to find their s/os.

As for getting the pop up back...I don't know if that will come back or not. I answered the questions when they showed up on my screen. I would think it would come back at some point; it would be a shame if it didn't. I mean, if someone was in a hurry and couldn't do them at the time that they popped up, then why not give them another opportunity?
