I sent a woman the first set of questions, she responds with an icebreaker saying she liked my profile or something. What do I do?

was the communication pretty close to one another, maybe the messages crossed paths? I would send the ice-breaker back..

Let’s get to know each other using GC

I would still send that ice-breaker, even if she is a non-paying member, she would've been able to respond to the GC today, the FGCE ends at midnight.

For some reason, that option was not there, so I selected let's chat through eharmony mail first. So she accepted and now what do I say? Never had one start off like this before? I asked her about her career and family. Anything else?

Huh.. I copied them awhile ago.. so maybe it's gone..


Yeah don't ask about career and family just yet, save that for the first meet... that's what everyone usually asks and it gets mundane. Pick out stuff she repeats in her profile.. travel,pets, music, etc.. ask questions that make her want to respond and quickly, keep the questions short-light and fun.
It also show you read her profile

Seriously when people ask me about family and career, all I do is copy and paste from the last person who asked me that.. then that person doesn't stick out.. make sense?

Maybe she doesn't understand icebreakers (or eharmony) or doesn't speak Engligh well.

I had a guy send me an icebreaker once asking me to please complete my about me section.
My whole profile is more than complete.

The match wrote me back a very long email responding to my questions and asking me others. Remember, all she knows about me is what's in my profile. I want to respond to her questions and then ask to meet. Is that too forward on the second email?

Isn't that what you're here for? If you're interested then show it!!! Maybe you can say, I hope this isn't too forward, but.......to let her know that you're not just pushy, but interested!!

As someone said in another thread "you don't actually date online, you date in real life". Brilliant!!!

And what's more attractive than someone who's attracted to you? Doesn't mean it will work out, but it's a great start. Do you want to keep communicating with someone who seems "iffy" about you? I don't. I say go for it.

:-)) Best luck!
