With any luck, you’ve gotten past the massive personality test, gotten your profile filled out, and persuaded eharmony to start matching you with eligible singles. You come back the next morning and SHAZAM! – you’ve got fifty new matches. And they all want to communicate with you!
OK, most of us are not that popular, but I’m sure anyone who has used eharmony with any level of seriousness has run into this conundrum. How do you deal with communicating with multiple matches, all of whom have the ultimate expectation of being your one-and-only? One thing you can do to reduce the likelihood of this problem is by disabling matching after every batch of matches, but even then you have to deal with a few that may or may not pan out. You want to explore every possible match and not frustrate someone by keeping them waiting, but if there are three matches that all sound like they are The One, it would be pretty aweful to tell Miss B that you’re busy with Miss A, and then have Miss A fall through. Decisions, decisions!
How do you deal with more than one interesting and active match in a way that respects them and benefits you? At what point in the process do you need to make an either-or decision? What do you think?
