How we run our dating site, by Sam Moorcroft of ChristianCafe

Posted by eharmonyblog on 16 August 2009 under Replying to matches · Comments (5)

One thing severely lacking in eHarmony Blog is perspective from the other side of dating sites. EHB always writes from the consumer’s point of view and we never hear about the challenges and rewards of running a dating site itself. Am I right?

“… It is other things, of course: things like knowing what your ROI is on your daily traffic, what your members do inside your site, what they like and what they don’t, and then constantly tweaking, experimenting, and often-times losing (a lot of) money by trying new things….”

    Just let him know if it's important to you to be financially wealthy or not, or whether you spend a lot of time worrying about your financial situation. Don't try to be smart, just be honest. …

    I just got this question for the first time today from a girl. My response: "6th finger, broken teeth, and a uni-brow. Seriously though, I've read your profile and I've seen your pictures- if I wasn't interested, I wouldn't have initiated. Let's keep the conversation going." …

    One of the reasons people join E-Harmony instead of Match or Craigs List is because they want to be judged by who they are instead of what they look like. Unfortunately, it seems that many of the guys consider this to be a one way thing. Sorry, but it works both ways. …

“Describe one thing about yourself that only your best friends know”

Posted by eharmonyblog on 12 August 2008 under Replying to matches · Comments (5)

There are three ways to answer this question:

1. The boring way

  • “I’ll tell you later.”
  • “There’s a reason that only my best friends know it.”
  • “When you get to be my friend you’ll know.”

Most men and women answer with one of these three. Boooring!

2. Leave it blank

This is much better than a “just like everybody else’s” answer. After all, your match probably won’t go shortlisting you if you skipped this question.

3. Answer it as if it is a different question
