What do you think about stating sexuality Must Haves?

Posted by winspenelli on 12 July 2010 under How-tos · Comments (7)

What do people think about stating this early on, especially #49 and #50? Ladies, is this too forward or is it good to get out in the open so to speak? I think it’s good to specify a sexual appetite upfront but I’m a guy. Or is it safer to imply it by selecting #17?

When should I ask for the phone number?

Posted by Mesonoxian on 29 June 2010 under How-tos · Comments (2)

Hello. In the past when I’ve used eharmony, the women gave their phone numbers in the first or second message during open communication, and things accelerated at a normal pace.

Now, however, I’m in open communication with two women, and the emailing is lackluster to say the least. In the past four days I’ve written two messages and received two. It’s a two edged sword. I don’t want to frighten anyone by asking for a phone number if they’re not comfortable yet, and at the same time I don’t want to appear weak by waiting interminably to get her digits.

Online dating presents a different challenge to meeting someone in real life, where comfort can immediately be established. I’m not sure what’s protocol, and if it’s okay to ask after a few emails.

Any advice would be appreciated.

    I ask to meet in person after a message or two in OC. If they don't respond to meeting in person: 1) they aren't serious 2) they aren't really interested in you Next. …

Can anyone here tell me how to be matched with a specific personality?

Posted by bob on 06 June 2010 under How-tos · Comments (3)

I recently joined eharmony and they have been matching me with mostly introverted shy women. I would like to be matched with extroverted outgoing type women. What would I have to do to make this happen.

Thank-you for your comments

    It's human nature to want what we can't have or be attracted to those who will do us no good. Your matches may be off-the-chart of whom you usually find attractive — but the key is to have an open mind and an open heart. If your matches are really really bad, you can retake the test. Good luck …

“If they were making a movie about your life, what would it be called and which actor would play you?”

Posted by eharmonyblog on 30 April 2010 under Replying to matches · Comments (0)

If you’re looking for recommendations on what movies fit your personality and you’ve got a minute to take a quiz, I recommend WhatToRent.com

WhatToRent

It even lists the lead actors in case you can’t remember.

Alright, naming a movie is not exactly answering the question but I hope this gives you a starting point for your answer.

 

My 4yo daughter is with me half of the time

Posted by kayaker on 04 April 2010 under How-tos · Comments (3)

Profile help — I’m a single male but I have a 4yo daughter with me 50% of the time

Where is the best place to mention this? Eharmony only asks if you have any children living with you full time, so I am not sure how to mention this in the text, or how much I should say about my daughter. Thanks in advance.

    I'd look at it this way: If my sibling, roommate or best friend and I hang out almost half of the time, would I and how would I put him or her in my *dating* profile? I'd not write it in the declarative, e.g., "I have a 4 year old daughter who is with me half of the time." It will sound irrepara …

Review my profile please

(Bradley writes in:)

So, what’s wrong with this profile?

I’m educated, have a wide variety of interests, a great job. . . I’m physically fit and athletic, average to above average looks. . .I have a lot to offer.

So why does *every single one* of the people I’m matched with on E-Harmony close me off immediately, usually saying the reason is “OTHER.”

Tell me what’s wrong with this profile, please!

    Bradley - The George Bush comment made me laugh, and if it weeds out the George Bush fans (and from the comment, I assume that would be a positive), then I think you should keep it. I had a similar comment explaining that I'm politically moderate (in Red State, Amerlica) because I wasn't inter …
