This is supposed to be funny so please no one take offense!!

It seems very wrong that people have access to eHarmony and that they can load the service with people we can't communicate with.

"Hey I know, lets all pay 260.00 a year to belong to a service where we can simply ignore each other. Sounds like big fun eh??" Yant too!

It is so complicated, ya'll, and it doesn't even have to be.

I get it, but it would be copyright infringement.

It is annoying isn't it. When you are new and really trying to meet someone it is discouraging until you find out the "ropes" Too bad that everyone on these message boards that joined eharmony matching service woudldn't commiit to at least acknowledge a match and close it if it is no photo and sketchy info. That is usually a sign they are not paying.

I'm not offended by your statement. I simply don't have the money at this moment in time to pay for eharmony.
Would you rather I pay for the service, or my school and car? So for me it's about handling my responsibilities. If I had the money to blow I'd pay for the service. I have 2 members right now I'd love to start chatting with.

I paid for eHarmony for 15 months. I got zero dates out of the first 12 months, and 3 dates out of the final 3 months. I feel I've paid my dues, and gotten little in return.

Since then, I've been a non-paying member who only turns on matching a few days before a FCW. I keep matching turned off the rest of the time as I know paying members don't want to be matched with a non-paying one, and frankly I don't want to waste MY possible matches during a time I can't communicate with them.

Since eHarmony was only able to come up with 5 matches (3 of them flexible matches) for me since the last FCW, I think my strategy is a sound one. Come Thursday I'll be finding out whether any of these matches will even answer the 1st Questions that I'll be sending to them.

So I'm not the only person who finds this site compleatly useless?

No matches, no dates, no nuttin. In ebay terms, "would not buy again". Is there a way to kick start the process or is it doomed to uselessness?

Could someone please enlighten me and teach me the ropes? I'm very new to this, today is day 2 and I have no idea what to expect. Actually I had a gazillion matches, out of those gazillion matches I am interested in 2 of them. Maybe 3 but that is stretching it somewhat. I don't know what I'm doing on this site but I sent questions to 2 of them. That was yesterday and I still haven't heard back. I'm not too worried yet but the one that I'm MOST interested in doesn't have a photo up, now I'm thinking that he isn't a paying member? How do I avoid getting matches that are non paying? Any advice? Anything at all would be much appreciated! Oh, and also, with this free weekend thing, what can I expect from that?

Sometimes it can work to your advantage. I met a nice lady who took advantage of the free weekend the first of the year. We haven't been able to get together with her yet, but I'm glad she took advantage of the free situation.

Of the 4 times I've gotten to open communication, one was with a non-payer over FCW. Actually it took 2 FCW's as both times I was out of town and the first I didn't see anything until I got back Sunday night (and EH & Hotmail apparently do not get along) and was at least savy enough the second time around to try using my phone. While we got to exchange real email, I was still on vacation at the time with my only internet access being my phone which I let her know but I would try an answer promptly...and that was the last I heard from her...poof!
