Folks,

I usually tell women who want to go straight to open communication with me that I would prefer guided communication. I mean, the reason I pay for eHarmony is because it slows things down and makes people take time to thoughtfully answer questions. I have made a few exceptions.

What are your thoughts?

I would be fine if a woman did this. (Zero have.)

I don't. (Due to the above.)

I have only sent one woman an email right off the bat because I didn't know you couldn't go do guided communication at that point. We ended doing the steps by ourselves.

I wouldn't mind if someone emailed me. No one has ever started with it. But I find the first two rounds worthless anyway. Must Haves/Cant Stands. Yeah everyone has the same ones of those anyway. Start with the short answer questions would be better.

I usually don't do this, as I believe most people don't fully understand that the process can't be stopped in that you can't go back to GC, once you start...
I know I didn't realize it when I first answered the request from someone...and that didn't turn out too favorable!
I used to think it was terrific idea to go straight to OC, but I'm really not so sure now...

I'm thinking of doing this more by the book and see how it goes.
