I was on communication step 3 with someone I really felt had potential, but then her profile moved to the archive page. I assume she closed me, which I'm fine with, but I would like to send her a final message.

The only communication option I have is "Close Match," which I did, but there's no option to send a final message or to select why you closed a match. Is there any way I can send my last message to this girl?

Oh, and is there any way to see why she closed her connection with me?

Both the reasons for closing someone and the Final Message were removed about a month ago in the latest eHarmony site downgrade.

So you have no way of knowing why your match may have closed you. You cannot send a Good Luck or any other final message to a match that has closed you. And you can no longer request a match to re-open you without going through Customer Care and requesting that they send a re-open request, which I understand they may or may not do.

Enjoy the new eHarmony

Well, if you had seen all the posts whining about the reasons for being closed you would understand. It really was rediculous.

I suspect the OP probably doesn't care about the Close reasons, as much as he does about losing the ability to send a Final Message.

I agree with the OP in that the Final Message shouldn't have been take away.

I know there is a vocal minority here that are cold, and apparently love the new system...:
"All Closes are closes, and if I Close someone, then I had a dang good reason to do so. PERIOD!!!"

On EHarmony however, lines are not so black and white.

People are simply too hasty on Closing, which in fact EHarmony has even implicitly acknowledged with their new layout in making Closing someone a 2 step process.

This is why it shocks me that they got rid of the Final Message.
They should be encouraging communication.

Again, I think EHarmony listened to a vocal minority, and removed the option, because a few cold people didn't like that extra "Please Reconsider" message to be sent.

Seriously, is it that horrible that someone really liked you, and really hopes you might reconsider???


As a sidenote:
Do you not think we are now just going to get as many posts whining about being Closed for no reason at all?

O, its just something new to whine about.
Whats that saying about not being able to please all the people all the time?
I think it will be mostly irritating to those who no longer have the option and used it. For new members who never knew about it, not so much.
And I do think your right. The OP does want to know what happened. Understandable.

This also surprises me too. In the back of my mind, I seem to remember hearing stories about people that used the Final Message and lived happily ever after.
