how does eharmony work?

Question

I signed up for eharmony but haven't paid yet....i want to make sure i know how this works first. If a guy shows up as one of my matches, do I show up as one of his? How can you tell how active they are on the site. I don't want to keep sending messages to people who are no longer active.

can someone just tell me how it works? thats all im asking, i dont care if you dont think its a good idea or not,. just how it works

Answer 1

If there is a match between two people, then each will show up on each others match list.

I don't believe there is a way to tell how active someone is.

The way I remember doing it was- when you first join and run that first match, you will get matches based on anyone you match with, as long as the account still exists in the system. I know they keep accounts active for a certain period after the trial or membership has ended... not sure how long before they clear them from the system.

So you might pick up matches that are nearing the end, or have ended their period, and the user has already gone/ not using it anymore.

Eharmony works in communication stages,and the first step is picking 5 multiple choice questions to send the person. That's all. Since you can save the ones you pick, you can easily send the same batch of questions to any of your matches... so you should start communication with anyone you want to. If someone is active and sees that request for communication, they typically go to the profile of that person and decide if they want to talk to that person or not. If so, they will answer your questions and the process continues. If they don't want to talk to you, for whatever reason, they will close you as a match, and once that happens, you can't communicate with that person again (unless they open you back up on their own). You will see if you have been closed if that happens. The only way you won't know is if they don't answer your questions, or close you, or put you on hold (not a close-out, but you can't communicate with them unless they take you 'off hold'). Likely, if they are active, they will do either of those actions, and you will know when it happens.

Now, some people have active accounts, but you have to factor in time as well. Some only have computer access once a week, or on vacation, etc... so it might take a week or longer to get any response. They suggest 2 weeks to wait, and then they have an option to send a 'nudge', kind of another prompt that someone wants to talk to them. Sometimes the nudge will get a response, sometimes not. I would wait a month... if I hadn't heard anything in that amount of time, then I closed that match on my end.

Thing is, after that initial batch of matches, whenever you run it again, you know that the 'new matches' that show up since your last match ARE active, since they just joined themselves. I ran matches everyday. Just keep in mind many people are joining with the free trial just to see what its like... run their inital match list, look at them, and decide its not worth it to buy a membership to communicate with anyone.

Good luck...

Does Eharmony Work

Answer 4

Well I might be a loser but I met the love of my life on eharmony without wasting a bunch of time on people who weren't serious about a relationship. Eharmony might cost money but that is one way you know people are serious about wanting to find someone who is a match for them... the other way you know is how long their profile takes to fill out.

Yes when you get matched up with a guy, they see your match as well. Though you can control if they see your photo or not and such. You have control of the process the whole time and can close matches as soon as someone doesn't seem compatible with you. The first phases of matching is just answering questions and sending must haves/can't stands but then you get to email back and forth on their site so that it remains safe. It's up to you when to disclose any more information and they always recommend that the guy offer his phone number instead of the lady.

The thing about eharmony is the matches they send you are very compatible with you so it's not a waste of time looking through them. I'm in the third month of a relationship with a guy I met on there and we are already talking marriage. It can be pricey but if you are serious it is worth the money.

And that is all they are. Eharmony has suffered several law suits for discrimination they frown on matching up divorced people with someone who has never been married. They match up widows and widowers with ONLY widows and widowers. Then there was one match that made headlines briefly...was kind of funny. Eharmony sent a couple their "perfect" matches, Eharmony guaranteed that these two people were MEANT to be together and that a more perfect for each other existed. She was a Soutern Baptist, black activist having protested and marched with Martin Luther King when she was a child and remained active in fighting for rights of black people. HE (this is the FUNNY part) Was a Southern Babptist lived within 100 miles of the woman, and was a membe of the Ku Klux Klan. The reason Eharmony decided they were perfect? Their relgious preferences. They BOTH wanted someone with the same religious beliefs. Can you say OOOPS?
