I have been the one to beging all communication with my selected matches and only a few have communicated back. Granted, it has only been two weeks, but is this normal?

Yes it is normal.. More than likely it's nothing you're doing.

And now the best part... a large number of your matches are going to be non-paying members who can only communicate with you during FCE (free communication events). Unfortunately eH does not let us know who is, and who isn't a paying member.

There are many things that can make the e-dating journey a tough one.

Many people have asked the community to provide feedback on their profile. There maybe some cliché’s or profile pet peeves that you're unaware of that could possibly be turning-off your matches. If you would like the community to review your profile.. You can post it in the Using eHarmony forum..

SM,

Yes it is very normal. I used to get discouraged till I realized it is ok.

I typically get four to six matches per day
I will send questions to about half of these
When I have about two dozen of these out I will shut off my matching engine
Only one in ten will even respond
Of these only half will make it to a first date
Repeat

While these are hard odds please remember we only need one . Btw, please follow the advice above on your profile review.

Good luck in your search,

YFR
