Thanks for all the great eharmony info. I found a lot of helpful things here.
I have a question. I get lots of matches, which is great, but I am not sure how to best contact ones I like. I have been emailing people messages saying
“I think your profile is great. You look cool…… so do you want to grab coffee sometime? Or do ?”
I feel like the eharmony questions and stuff is silly. I will know in 30mins over coffee if someone is a good ‘match’ why should I waste both our time with childish questions from drop boxes?

(Our favorite eHarmony Host Kate today shares tips on answering what we think is THE most important question of the eHarmony profile. After the photo, it is the first thing your matches see.)
If you’ve ever been an eHarmony member, you know this question, it’s the first thing you fill out on your profile, and the first thing your matches see (besides your 12 photos…and you have all 12 posted, of course!).
Some people answer this question with clichés like “life, friends, and family” because they can’t think of anything else to say. Others feel disappointed when they receive matches who have cliché answers posted here.

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
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.
Here, for reference, is the complete list of choices for the “What are your three BEST life-skills?” question in the About Me page and in the questionnaire.
Do you tell the truth here (your three best?) or do you pick the ones that you think will catch the interest of the match you want? Also, do you use your matches’ choices to tell you if you would communicate or close the match? For example, are there life-skills that you avoid? Tell us in the comments.

This is a personal favorite among the 2nd canned questions. It is the indirect way of asking “What are you looking for in a relationship partner?”, which is a repeat of the About Me question “What is the most important quality that you are looking for in another person?”.
Make sure your answer to this question jives with your answer to “most important quality you are looking for” in your About Me. If you want and it doesn’t hurt, just restate your “most important quality” answer, epitomized in your closest friend.
Meanwhile, I heard dating advice against citing a member of the opposite sex as your “closest friend”. What do you think of this? Can a woman find a date while having a very close male friend?
Why it’s okay to send this canned first question:
- When you’re weary of immature love and have decided that you “have no time anymore to wait for him to grow up.” This question immediately blows off jealous matches.
- You are very jealous and dependent yourself.
Why it ain’t okay to send this:
- It hints that in a past relationship, jealousy was a reason why your relationship ended horribly. Are you sure you want a complete stranger know this?
- Sending this needs caution because it takes many people to an “unhappy place.”

I agree with snowbunny. The blanket greeting (without mentioning anything personal about the woman) is a turn-off. If you change your wording how snowbunny pointed out, you're guaranteed to get better responses. Good luck to ya'! :) …
