Hey all,

Another newbie question here.

When I go to my eH matches page to see my new matches, either one of two 'messages' appears in the column communication stage next to each name (NB. This is before I have viewed any of them). It says either

- Introduction OR
- Get to Know Each Other

I have been puzzled over why some matches have the first and others have the latter next to them.

I wondered if Introduction meant that neither of us have viewed each other's profile whilst Get to Know Each Other appeared after one (or both) of us had viewed the other. Problem was that none of the matches who were tagged with Get to Know Each Other had appeared in my view counter (in fact my view counter has been consistently very low). So that didn't seem to make sense. I jumped on the live eH chat to ask this question and they said that no, it wasn't a case of whether the match had viewed me or not - but didn't actually tell me why one rather than the other message came up.

Today I had already received an IB from one of my matches (let's call him Joe), before I logged in. When I looked at my matches summary page I saw that both Joe & Jack had Get to Know Each Other next to them, whilst Steve & Sam had Introduction (again - this is before I had viewed any of them). So then I went to my view counter and discovered that both Joe & Jack had indeed viewed my profile whilst Steve & Sam hadn't.

So either this is a big coincidence or my original conclusion was correct... that Introduction appears if neither you nor your match have viewed each other and Get to Know Each Other appears once one (or both) of you have looked at the other's profile.

However, this conclusion would mean
1) eH help chat was wrong since they said this wasn't the case
2) the view counter is messed up since prior to today there was no consistency between who viewed me and what communication stage message was next to their name when I first viewed them.

Any ideas?

Ok. Thanks.

I think I'll just start ignoring the view counter given it is clearly not accurate.

Your conclusion about eHarmony help is also correct.

Wow. You're overanalyzing this to a ridiculous degree. That's kinda hawt.

You think I'm kidding . . . .

Not trying to overanalyze. Just trying to work out exactly what I am meant to be paying for (and apparently what I am paying ...not for)
