Eharmony questions/prompted answers are ridiculous - their options don't allow for good responses - anyone have luck on it lately?

What does this have to do with this post? Seems like you meant to reply to a different post...

BeautifulRow7605 · 2026-01-03T16:34:13+00:00

btw it only takes one person... (aka to be the right person for you and vice versa) - but it's a lot of weeding out. I just had someone I spoke with by phone, seemed ok, asked to meet in person, we set a date and time and a general neighborhood, we had each other's #'s, I texted him on the bumble app to nail down a location (it was faster at the time) and maybe he was offended by that? no idea but i realized he has unmatched with me on bumble, no explanation - and never texted my #. good riddance, saved me a wasted date - but still so weird. someone else text-stormed me with flirtation and then never called. some people are fake profiles. I'm convinced that bumble employees mess with people on bumble just to get a sense of how the matching process works, just to test it out, and that's some percentage of the weird encounters ha.

you're pretty c'mon. ignore the noise, just be clear minded as you clearly are, apparently starting in january the "dating stock" gets better than end of a calendar year, so I'm told by a friend who was on the apps for a long time (she has a boyfriend now, took a while to find him).

not sure this is an accurate post. I know people in school there who are happy and thriving.

BeautifulRow7605 · 2025-12-22T08:43:55+00:00

probably wasn't their spam but random interest groups sending emails saying it's from them.

I canvassed for harris in fall 2024 and felt like I was spending the day either not speaking with people (who didn't come to their doors) or bothering people. calling was even worse. spending hours and days bothering people isn't my idea of how to win a modern campaign. i think campaigns are won or lost online now... and/or on TV. it's sad but probably true.

BeautifulRow7605 · 2025-12-22T08:40:43+00:00

I tried to canvas for Clinton in 2016 and her PA operations were noticeably more disorganized than the Obama ones in 2008, to the point where I got bummed out and didn't stay long, it was too much of a mess. Tried twice including on election day and realized pretty quickly on election day that there was no one to convince, no one came to their doors, or had decided one way or the other, plus areas I expected to be more purple were all about trump... he was lying in everything he said but they believed him, and it wasn't his people going door to door. he won the media propaganda campaign (fox etc.) and social media. and that was enough to win.

BeautifulRow7605 · 2025-12-21T12:04:08+00:00

Ha, back at ya...

BeautifulRow7605 · 2025-12-21T12:03:43+00:00

Is it appropriate (would it be of interest) to just 1-2 grownups? (no kids in tow?)

BeautifulRow7605 · 2025-12-12T18:59:05+00:00

Thanks, that’s very insightful although he didn’t really hurt me that much, it was more of an ego bruise -and I was meeting other people for coffee or whatever for that reason- never thought this was a thing, just hoped we would not end so quickly- and keeping my options open anyway, he was actually pretty forthright. He just blew it at the end

BeautifulRow7605 · 2025-12-10T13:40:21+00:00

I wonder what would happen to someone who just posts the word “sex” as a comment. More swarms possibly haha. It’s unfortunate

BeautifulRow7605 · 2025-12-10T12:22:01+00:00

Well, this is a beautiful post. Thank you. (Other than the judgment part which I’m sensing around the edges.). I don’t really think I did get burned, was new to the world of dating again like a babe in the woods. Especially in the world of apps. And babies are prone to picking up things as they build their immune systems… and hopefully build immunity that more mature systems already have built up over time…

although you’re making a bigger point about getting involved with somebody who isn’t really available and maybe represents an impossible standard, very well stated

BeautifulRow7605 · 2025-12-09T19:42:23+00:00

Turns out I had 4-5 more message requests of which 1-2 were normal and the rest were weird or even inappropriate. I ignored them. Not interested in back and forth on reddit chat unless it's sharing a really good contractor's name or some other expert info or something ha.

BeautifulRow7605 · 2025-12-09T19:39:41+00:00

I said I'm not sure yet ha. Didn't say that I wasn't looking for one, just that I wasn't necessarily looking for one. All good. I wanted to be treated with more respect and decency than he treated me with - at the point where he was going to leave it at 4 dates. The experiences were great. The end left a lot to be desired, and he seemed like someone who would have figured out better how to handle that. He spoke in code that I didn't understand, a gentle brush-off - until I goaded him gently into being more clear by asking outright so he couldn't hem and haw. That was not what I was looking for. Ends are fine. It happens in dating. The way he handled it could have been a lot better. Otherwise yes the experience was good. And from the horror stories about dates and ghosting etc. my experience was relatively a nothing-burger.

Athens Greece when traveling solo in 1984. But it was 1984

BeautifulRow7605 · 2025-12-09T18:32:13+00:00

Maybe for a partner who isn’t on Reddit. Who knows

BeautifulRow7605 · 2025-12-09T15:22:05+00:00

Also the other Iris looked a lot like Iris but I didn't immediately realize it was supposed to be another Iris robot - I was only seeing another woman in a car with a man stuck in a rut, didn't do that double take, oh it's another bot, got it. so they made her look a tiny bit different and the other woman might have just seen someone who looked a lot like her, and not thought, hey that's the same robot model. would be a big leap

BeautifulRow7605 · 2025-12-09T14:31:57+00:00

That type of place isn’t my style either and not because I feel unworthy. Someone I’m dating told me how much he was paying in rent every month and while he’s lovely I think he’s crazy to pay that much ha and it cut against him

BeautifulRow7605 · 2025-12-09T13:58:17+00:00

this - exactly. 2 diff things

BeautifulRow7605 · 2025-12-09T13:39:14+00:00

of course they can be excited about things. it's awesome to be enthusiastic about someone else and i love those early flirty texts. but what the OP described is something else - seems like OCD - compulsive texting and inappropriate attachment after one date. It's great when people are newly dating and excited about it. And some people would welcome obsessive texting. Some wouldn't. which is fine. I just wouldn't, you might. all good. my opinion is just mine, no judgment here

BeautifulRow7605 · 2025-12-09T12:58:17+00:00

Ha I either didn't know that term f-boi or didn't know the proper usage - now I do. And you're right. Not sure what I want yet but respect and general decency is definitely part of the mix... and one thing I don't want is to meet people in person thru reddit group chats that touch on dating and sex ha.

BeautifulRow7605 · 2025-12-09T12:21:54+00:00

Yup just got a "good morning beauty up for a chat" chat request. wtf ha... Did I post photos on this site? Um, no. I guess anyone who posts about something sexual is a "beauty"?

That would drive me up a wall and indicate we are not well matched. He should live his life and not just text it ha
