I just got the Stage 3 questions from my match. He sent me the "3 wishes" question, the "Tonight you can do anything you want" question, AND the "Personal habits" question.

Even eHarmony is on the April Fools day thing!

I'm going to have to look back on the boards for all your comments on these recent threads...

I can give you my answers to these three questions and then you can copy and paste them to your reply

While I only know what I am trying to learn from the questions I ask, I assume that my matches have something specific in mind with the questions they have asked. I know this is foolishness on my part as I mentioned this to a match that I was dating once and was met with a wide eyed, open mouth stare of disbelief.

Gr8Guy - Yeah, I would be surprised if this guy has any ulterior motives for asking these questions. He sent me the GC questions, I didn't choose him based on his profile, and I wouldn't have. He is one of those who filled the whole thing up with "Gee, I'll have to think about that one..." or "I don't think I have ever thought about that before?". Sheesh.

Even in his answers to my questions, he was like "Oh, well, I have had terrible luck IRL so I thought online dating was the answer, but..." What's the male version of a Negative Nancy?

If things don't pick up in OC (after I think up some answers to these inane questions) I don't know if I would agree to meet him in person.

Some people just pick questions and don't much care unless some red flag happens to appear in the answer.

Some people ask questions because they are seeking a specific point of knowledge in the match's answer.

Others want to see if you are likely to screen then out or in, based on your answer.

My process, is that I am willing to meet anybody until a deal-breaker is uncovered. I don't go looking to make them happen, though.

Here's an optimistic viewpoint ... he thought these were the 3 silliest choices and was hoping the 2 of you would have a good laugh about it next week over a nice glass of wine.

Oh, Sassafras, I like your way of thinking! Good way to "spin" it!

and you might find it easier to answer those poor questions by having a glass or 2 of wine first!

I would tend to spend less time on questions like that - just 5 mins because they are thoughtless/lazy questions to be asked.

good luck.

Well, I didn't have the wine, but I didn't spend even 5 minutes on those answers. Especially the "3 wishes" question. This guy is not on the short list. (Or, he wouldn't be if the list was longer than 3 right now).
