eHarmony and me... Part 3

5/13/10

I am finding the eHarmony pace a bit too slow for me. I shattered my resolve to remain passive and sent about 14 of my matches a 5 question opening communication letter. I just wanted to get things moving and hoped it would help clear my slate a bit since I assumed some of these guys would "ding" me and some would get in touch...whatever. Well, that was 2 days ago and only four dinged me while the rest have yet to take action one way or another.

As of this moment I have "closed" 47 matches. In eHarmony-speak this means they can not communicate with me. I would delete them altogether but eHarmony must feel that is too harsh because there is no way for me to do it. I have "archived" 5 matches. This means I am being passive, not communicating with them but open to them getting in touch with me. I am "communicating" with the 13 dudes who have yet to respond to me. In eHarmony land I have to wait for 7 days before I can send them  another " nudge".I have already decided to give them 10 days to respond which I feel is more than generous. After the 10 days are up I'm closing those suckers!

I have suffered only one eHarmony heartbreak so far. I was sent a match who really did seem like a winning prospect. The guy was completely gonzo about fishing as am I! So I fired off the introductory communique with high hopes and the guy "closed" me!! Guess he wasn't really looking for a fishing buddy.

Sooooooooo... I find myself slipping into an eHarmony coma and can only imagine how boring this all has become for you my dear readers. Therefore this will be my last blog about eHarmony until, if and when something happens of interest.

Here is what I think. eHarmony is for primarily the very young and most certainly those who possess patience to at least the hundreth power. I fit neither category.
