I must be a little slow on the uptake..so EH protocol dictates: I must send an email requesting permission to speak, captain, sir?
Really?
As if this wasn't already slooow...

I know....... feel the frustration and will not be renewing here, as i always initially email 1st but seem to get "they" want the programmed questions instead now what could be more impersonal. very impersonal site

Yup.

Your match has the option to accept or deny your email
if an request go straight to email is denied, they more than likely they prefer to communicate through guided communication first. (just as and fyi once an email is accepted you and your match cant go back through GC)

eH used to list the communication preference of your match on their profile, but removed it for some unknown reason.

It really isn't so bad, just an annoying and IMHO an unnecessary step. No one I've ever asked has ever declined.

Well most of us are on EH because we don't like the bombardment of emails on other sites and prefer the guided communication to get to know someone better to determine if they're worth emailing so if there's a total alpha guy who doesn't care to get to know me first and thinks he can just go ahead and email me to get my number or ask questions he could've found out with the GC then I'm not so interested in him. It shows he's rude, pushy and eager to get any girl who will "bite his bait" so to speak.
