They don't and I cannot imagine how this person got your regular email via eHarmony; Email addresses in EH proper is unhackable. It is more likely that he looked up the clues of your identity in Google or in social networking sites. Can you remember which forum, eBay listing, Facebook page, domain whois, et cetera, did you post your email address?
Yep, mystery solved. I knew that eH doesn't give out info like that but it was really perplexing. Still, I've never had someone do detective work to get in touch with me!

After reading this thread and a few others, I have realized I want to be matched with Wonderwoman402.

She communicates well and appears to have her stuff together. So e-harmony, make it happen.

Thanks!

I admit, I blushed a little

Funny thing, I can't get the Wonderwoman song out of my head now!!! ... Honestly, I learned enough about this woman just by reading her posts to know we would be a fantastic match.

She has moxy and that's darn sexy.

I think it's very important that profiles list whether a member is paying or just trying for free. It shouldn't be up to the member to include this information, it should be included automatically by eHarmony! Without this bit of information, you have no idea if that's why you haven't heard back from your matches or not. I think it would save a lot of confusion! If eHarmony is seriously dedicated to helping people find relationships, they should seriously consider this.

Putting a "Member" or "Non-Member" tag in the top bar of the "About Me" box would be simple enough, I would think.

And then they could include an Icebreaker that says something like "You seem interesting. Why don't you join so we can communicate?"

Personally, I'm not joining until I find someone interesting enough to communicate with. Of the seven matches I have received in the 3 1/2 weeks since I completed my profile, four were almost immediately closed out by one of us, and the remaining three aren't particularly good matches. Neither their software nor their customer service have particularly impressed me.

This is my first post in this forum, and I did receive quite a few matches during this FCW, but I am still being very cautious about the whole thing as this is my first time using online dating to a find relationship. I have thought about becoming a paying member, but I really can't afford a one time payment of $239.00 first, and then $20 after that. So of course I can't see anyone's pictures... etc. I can't afford it though. I agree with some of you that mentioned using a tag that lets people know if some one is a paying member or not. It would help. Anyway this is my first time posting. I hope some thing works out soon enough.

Dear Sarahr32,

Very glad to hear that you participated in our Free Communication Event (FCE) and that you received quite a few matches.

We certainly understand the reticence some may have looking for the Love of their Life online and that is why we provide these events -- so you can not only review matches for free, but also experience communicating with them.

Finding your soul mate on eHarmony does require an investment of time and money, and it is a process that does take time. But, especially in these economic times, it may be difficult to make the decision to purchase a subscription. To help members, we often extend promotional subscriptions by e-mail or through their account. If none have been extended to you, you are always welcome to contact Customer Care and ask about any in-house offers which may be available: http://help-singles.eharmony.com/.

Until our next FCE or your purchase of a subscription, I encourage you to review your profile to make sure you have created the best one possible. Your profile is what inspires communication from matches, and it can sometimes take some tweeking/enhancing before it is representing you as well as possible!

To make sure your About Me page answers are as detailed and engaging as possible, I encourage you to take a look at our Profiles Workshops. These workshops go over each About Me page question one by one, and eHarmony members and staff provide members with direct feedback and weigh in on the best way to answer/approach these questions.

Also, a picture is worth 1,000 words! So you may also want to access some of the articles/discussions available on this forum to help you post the best profile photos possible. These links can get you started with both:

http://advice.eharmony.com/boards/da...sted-here.html (eHarmony Profile Workshop Threads (Links listed here))
Your Photo Gallery: Tell the Story of your Life

Also, should you decide to purchase a subscription, to help you make the most of your search and help you sustain a positive attitude, you may want to take a look at the articles Kate and I each wrote sharing our 5 Tips to having a successful eHarmony experience:

Online Dating: Top 5 Tips for Using eHarmony

All the best,

-Renee
