Yes, it means something the person said about their lives or likes and dislikes made you smile for some reason, either it was funny or stupid but it made you smile...

When you read something that makes you smile, what does that mean to you?

From my perspective (hypothetically anyway, I don't actually use icebreakers), it may mean that the profile showed a good sense of humor, but equally or more likely there was something warm and inviting about it.

An icebreaker with that 'phase' means they are a non-paying eH freeloader.

Hi Natureluv047,

I see that you’re fairly new to eHarmony Advice, so welcome to you!

In a way, it doesn't make too much difference which message your match uses in the Icebreaker -- so you may not want to read too much into the specific message.

I would view the Icebreaker as interest from your match in general. I have talked to many members over the years who all take different communication approaches/methods, so different intentions may be behind the usage of the Icebreaker.

Some use the Icebreaker because they just want to see if there’s enough interest from their match to see if going into more communication is worth it.

Others use the Icebreakers to test the waters to see if there’s potential to jump into the deeper themes that arise in the Guided Communication questions, which may feel more personal to them.
Some ladies especially have more traditional beliefs and prefer not to “pursue”, so they will just acknowledge that they think you’re interesting as a way to give you permission to initiate more substantial communication.

All of the above indicate that they are most likely open to communicating with you. Otherwise they would be ignoring your profile or closing the match.

Good luck and I hope to see you in more discussions!

~Kate

Is it an innocent smile or a 'haha I can't believe she wore that blouse and put the picture up on the internet" smile?

or maybe you said something funny in your profile too.
