What I am wondering is how byte has been a member for two years and he still seems as inexperienced as he is.
Curious, what do you mean by inexperienced? That I tend to get my hopes up?

Well you say you have been a member for two years but you seem to have the amount of experience in dealing with your matches as someone who has just started would. How often do you talk to matches on the site?

I wouldn't say he is inexperienced. May be more or less frustrated with the whole ordeal that is going on with Eharmony. Everyone who joined Eharmony (including me), certainly expected that it will bring some positive emotions, will meet someone etc., not bad feelings. On the other hand unfortunately not everyone who is on the site is looking for relationships. The current trend in closing message statement changed. As it used to be Other, about a year ago, now it shifted towards- I am pursuing another relationship! 75 % of my matches closed with this message.

Oh I see. Maybe I came across that way, but I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything that could have got me talking to this girl since I really liked her. I do communicate with my matches on a fairly regular basis, and have dated maybe 7 or 8 of them. eHarmony is kinda a causual thing for me though, if it finds someone for me that's great, but I'm not depending on it.

Passat1, yes there are a lot of frustrating things about this site. It's way overpriced for the features, lots of technical flaws, and look at me - over 2 years with little to show for it. I would not recommend this site to anyone, but the only reason I'm here is that it seems to be fairly popular and it's not as trashy as some of the other dating sites.

@ byte,

when I read your title here I thought you finally found a match you hit it off with either via communication in email the phone or an actual date. I was shocked to see you've been a member for 2 years and are so into this "match" without her ever responding.

In this case what I would do or would of done FIRST is to send her an ACTUAL EMAIL unless she specifically stated she preferred GC. That way your email could be a refreshing theme from the typical GC that she probably gets routinely.

This would of been a good way for you to point out the things you have in common and compliment her on things you find appealing and attractive. Then if she felt your email was charming and she were intersted, she could write back.

Either way, you would of at least known by sending her an email whether or not she was an active member or not by knowing when she read your email with the (acceptance of communication) notification. Good luck.
