Poll 16 (Jan 08): Ready to speak on the phone? — part 1

Warren says, “We encourage you to use eHarmony’s anonymous Open Communication system as long as necessary to find out as much about your match as is reasonably possible.”

What does this mean for you? Is this why, even if eHarmony found you 100 matches, the phone still isn’t ringing? Do we gotta be careful these days? Are you too fast compared to “competition,” or too slow? Let’s find out in this month’s poll.

When do you move from online communication to the telephone?

    FIRST THANK YOU TO E HARMONY FOR POSTING MY COMMENTS, I WAS NOT IMPRESSED BY THE OTHER “COMMENT SITE”, MAYBE IT’S GONE NOW, NOT MISSED BY ME. ALSO I WOULD LIKE TO SAY ONE THING TO THE MEN OUT THERE WHO ARE E MAILING ME, I WON’T E MAIL BACK UNTIL I HAVE A PHOTO TO LOOK AT AND, A VERY BIG NO, NO, I AM NOT A CAMPER, HUNTER, FISHERWOMAN ETC., I LIKE THE WOODS AND WALKS {and staying in a cottage with basic shower, fireplace} BUT SOMEHOW I’VE GIVEN THE WRONG IMPRESSION BY SAYING SOMETHING TO THAT EFFECT AND I AM A GYM WORK OUT PERSON BUT I SEEM TO BE ATTRACTING THE PERSON WHO IS NOT HIGH ON EDUCATION, MORE ON PHYSICAL STRENGTH, NOT FOR ME! SORRY!

    AND A BIG ONE! I AM ALLERGIC TO CATS, DON’T MIND DOGS. I THOUGHT THIS WAS IN MY PROFILE BUT MAYBE NOT CLEAR ENOUGH. ALSO, I REALLY NEED SOMEONE WHO IS HONEST ABOUT THEIR EDUCATION, ATTENDING HIGH SCHOOL IS NOT ENOUGH INFO. JUST AS ATTENDING COLLEGE IS NOT, AND YES I SEEM FUSSY BUT THESE ARE PRETTY EASY QUESTIONS ON THE PROFILE AND SHOULD BE CLEAR.

    I DO APPRECIATE THE COMPLIMENTS I GET ON MY PHOTO THOUGH HELPS THE EGO A BIT I MUST ADMIT. AGAIN I SAY TO E HARMONY, YOU DO A GREAT SERVICE FOR WOMEN AND MEN WHO ARE PATIENT AND REALLY LOOKING FOR A GREAT MATE IN TIME. THANK YOU.

    PS EXACTLY WHAT BLOG ARE YOU? HOW ARE YOU RELATED TO E HARMONY?

    eHarmony Blog is not eHarmony, Meridel. We have nothing to do with them and we can’t help you with your account. Sorry! The “men out there who are e mailing me” won’t get your message.

    If you have specific criteria regarding the matches you wish to entertain, I suggest you mention it directly on your About Me answers.

    TO ALL E HARMONY CLIENTS. I’D LIKE A RESPONSE TO THIS OBSERVATION. WHEN A MAN LOOKS AT A WOMAN’S PROFILE AND SEES SHE IS INTERESTED IN MUSIC AND THE THE ARTS ,IS PHYSICALLY FIT AND DOES LIFT WEIGHTS AT THE GYM BUT NEVER MENTIONS HUNTING , FISHING , CAMPING ETC. DOES HE JUST IGNOR IT OR GO BLIND OR IS HE ILLITERATE OR AN IDIOT.??. I GET CONSTANT COMMENTS ON MY PHOTO BEING ATTRACTIVE AND THAT THE MAN IS LOOKING FOR LOVE AND A PARTNER WHO WILL FISH , HUNT, CLEN HIS HOUSE AND LOVE HIS DOG??BUT THEN I TAKE A LOOK AT HIS PROFILE AND PHOTO AND THEY ARE SO ILL-MATCHED TO MY OWN THAT EVEN IF HE WERE A MILLIONAIRE I WOULD NOT CONSIDER HIM AND MONEY HAS NEVER BEEN HIGH ON MY LISTS OF “WANTS” ANYWAY BUT AT LEAST WHEN I LOOK AT A MAN’S PHOTO AND READ HIS PROFILE I TRY TO REASON OUT IF HE COULD BE INTERESTED IN ME AS A PERSON , NOT A SEX OBJECT AND THAT I HAVE NO INTENTION OF CHANGING HIS HOBBIES OR PURSUITS OR LIFE STYLE TO SUIT MINE BECAUSE THAT DOES NOT WORK. IT JUST AMAZES ME AND REALLY IRRITATES ME THAT SOME MEN THINK BECAUSE I AM A WOMAN LOOKING FOR A MAN THAT HE WOULD FIT THE BILL EVEN WHEN WE HAVE NOTHING IN COMMON AND HE LOOKS LIKE HE JUST GOT OUT OF A HAYSTACK AND MAYBE TOOK A BATH 2 MONTHS AGO , IF THEN ,….YET, HE IS INTERESTED IN ME. AGAIN I SAY , READ MY PROFILE , READ IT AGAIN AND AGAIN AND SEE IF YOU THINK THERE IS ONE THING SIMILAR TO YOUR PROFILE , NOT JUST THAT YOU LIKE MY PHOTO. THE LAST GUY WHO E MAILED ME MADE ME ACTUALLY WANT TO REPLY TO HIM JUST FOR THE SAKE OF AND ASKING HIM THESE QUESTIONS AND ALSO IF HE IS AN IDIOT OR MENTALLY CHALLENGED. OR MAYBE THIS WHOLE EXERCISE IS A JOKE AND HE JUST WANTS TO SEE HOW MANY WOMEN HE CAN IRRITATE. I DON’T THINK I’VE EVER SEEN A WORSE PHOTO OF A MAN OR A MORE OPPOSITE PROFILE FROM MINE.I AM RESIGNING FROM E HARMONY BUT I HOPE THE MEN , IN PARTICULAR FROM CANADA , START READING THE PROFILES OF THE WOMEN THEY ARE INTERESTED IN, NOT JUST LOOK AT THE PHOTO OF THE WOMAN AND THINK ?” SHE’S HOT”.!! REGARDLESS OF AGE, SHOOT FOR SOMEONE WHO IS SIMILAR IN LOOKS AND PROFILE TO YOU, THAT IS THE WHOLE POINT OF E HARMONY, ISN’T IT? THERE ARE LOTS OF MEN IN MY AREA WHO THINK THE SAME AS I HAVE JUST DESCRIBED AND I COULD DATE THEM. I HAPPEN TO BE LOOKING FOR SOMEONE SIMILAR TO ME IN LOOKS AND INTERESTS. I AM TIRED OF DEALING WITH IDIOTS REGARDLESS OF HOW THEY LOOK. THE MEN IN MY AREA SEEM BENT ON IGNORING THE PROFILE AND LOOKING ONLY AT MY PHOTO, AND AS FLATTERING AS THAT MAY BE I AM GOING TO RESIGN FROM E HARMONY WHICH I THINK IS A VERY GOOD SITE AND LEAVE THESE IDIOTS TO WOMEN WHO DON’T CARE IF THEY HAVE ANYTHING IN COMMON WITH THEIR GUY ,{or maybe they are ugly too!} THEY JUST WANT A GUY PERIOD.!!! ANY GUY APPARENTLY.OR MAYBE THEY ARE LOOKING FOR SOMEONE TO SUPPORT THEM IN THEIR CHOSEN LIFESTYLE, FINANCIALLY. I NEVER COULD DO THAT , IT GOES AGAINST EVERYTHING I BELIEVE IN. THANKS E HARMONY , IT’S BEEN FUN WHILE I COULD STAND IT. NOT YOUR FAULT.

    Hi Everyone out there, could someone please explain to me how a secure call is made, I follow the prompts and press “send” then nothing happens, I have no confirmation as to whether or not the call or my number has been sent!! There is no help phone number in Australia to enable me to get assistance!
    Thanks !
