I am new to EHarmony; There is a question in the guided com. section that asks about travel. I haven't noticed any indication of EHarmony questions being misleading, but the question "What is your philosophy on travel" has one answer that says "When do we leave, my bags are packed". I took this question to mean 'What is your philosphy on travel". I chose the above answer. After meeting a couple of eharmony matches, I am getting the distinct impression that that was interpreted as me saying, Let's go away together now. I just mean, in general I'm up for travel.


I would really appreciate some feedback for the men out there.


Thanks

Wow, I've never come across this being interpreted as anything other than a travel question. Now I'm really curious to hear the answers as well.

I married a my bags are loaded in the trunk! Fla girl with parents in Fla. So I had to be ready in an hours notice. I learned to keep Mondays open. I enjoyed the mind set and the scenery, the travel time was the only negitive.

I always interpreted it as a travel question. The 'my bags are packed' answer is also usually an insta-close for me. I don't mind some travel, but I'm not inclined to expend the huge sums of money and time on it travel-bugs like to.

It means just that: If your bags are packed, then you like to get out and travel on the spur of the moment. The opposite would be a couch potato ("Hang on while I go out to buy some bags, and then wait some more while I pack them...")


Traveling together doesn't necessarily mean sleeping together. It means traveling together. There will be plenty of "together" time whilst walking the beach, or dancing at a local club, or having a glass of wine later that evening.


As for me... Let's go! My bags are packed! I actually just went on a mini-vacation this past week, culminating with a Mother's Day visitto my new Bride's sonbecause he wanted totake his mother out to dinner for the very first time (he just started working and wanted to impress her, so we said, "OK...")

I took it to be merely a generic question about travel....
