Hello,


Anyone like to share what using eharmony was like when you first began using it? I'm new to eharmony and am trying to feel comfortable with it. So far I'm not getting very much in the way ofcommunication responses.

Hi,


Posting current picture (s) shows authenticity, a great attribute I think we all want in a partner.


I foundehamony advice articles for dating and the selection process helpful. Their advice on having a tough skin (not being too sensitive) and being careful by not moving too quickly in the relationship is sound advice. This requires patience.Honestanswers work in your favor as you want to be matched with someone who is most compatible with you. Be true to yourself in why you're using eharmony matching services to begin with. Hopefully, your match(s) will have the same intentions as you in what they are seeking.

Gee - I really do appreciate your reply. It is getting much better for me now. I will certianly read up on the advice articles. I believe all the information I've read so far makes so much sense. I recently closed a match due to vague short answers with bad spelling. I did this after taking my time to write well, correctly and use ofmuch thoroughness. You won't believe what I got in return from my match: one liners with incorrect spelling. That was a big turn off. You write one short line and can't even spell the words correctly? Unreal.

To be honest, I am finding eharmony a bit frustrating. I specifide a distance of 120miles and I got matches thatwere thousands of miles away. I put in a complaint after searching for an hour on how to make contact with eharmony. Since then they have fixed that problem, i'm supposing, since I have had only one match in over two weeks. If you could call it that. I could barely bring myself to go beyond the pic and read the prifile. When eharmony say to put in as many pics as you can, I think they are right in that. All I had to go on with this guy was long unbrushed hair, dark glasses so I couldn't even see the eyes and worst of all no shirt. (A man should never have breasts). Needless to say, I am a bit disappointed, but I keep hoping and looking.

Hi

I wasted 1 year and money.
Most matches were not members so I never heard from them.
One guy I got to open communication with was a scammer. The other guy I met lied about his weight by 50 lbs and had old pictures. I was so turned off by the lying yuck!
So my experience was not a good one. Would not recommend.

I haven't had any positive responses either (2 months in). If my matches have taken a look at my profile, and I think we might be compatible, I will send them an ice breaker, or even the first set of questions. No one has responded...ever!

Only one fellow took any interest in me (initiated first contact). After going through the questions we entered into open communication. It was here that his character became quite clear...sexually obsessed to the max, very crude 'sense of humor', very pushy/bossy. Needless to say, I told him, "No thanks" and closed the match.

Honestly, when my current subscription runs out I'm most likely not going to renew.

I am disappointed with EH. Although I got a few OC but I did not find a right man. I prefer less time for an open communication. I may switch to other dating websites later.
