OK, I'm back on eHarmony, looking for a genuine human being to date. One who's not grotesquely fat, one who's sane, one who's not hard to look at, and one who's a reasonable, decent human being.
Doesn't SEEM like a tough proposition, does it? Well, I get some girl who requests "fast track" communication. Meaning, if I accept, it goes right to trading emails. I accept that offer, of course. Why not? She tells me a lot about her on the first message, but as my company is at the time in inventory mode, and I'm working fourteen hour days, I'll have to give her a longer, more detailed response in a few days when the inventory cycle is over. I explain that I may have to work the entire weekend and if I do, it'll be long days for me and please, give me a couple of days to get through this mess and send the longer response and tell her a little about me So I get on this evening, ready to compose that longer introductory letter, and discover that she's put the match on hold "Because you didn't reply to my communication in a timely manner." WTF, over?  It's been just TWO FREAKING DAYS!Now, normally, I'll respond as soon as I get a message....but I've been working fourteen hours a day for the past three days up until now! If I'd been any more tired I'd probably have slept during the drive home! Too tired to do anything but get a very quick snack, take my clothes off, and go to bed. And in no mental state to compose anything long or meaningful anyway. In my experience, a two day wait for a reply to any email is SHORTER than average! I'm figuring, the heck with it. If she's so quick to give up, she'll do it again. What the hell IS that, anyway?  Patience, anyone?   CJ |

Two day wait? I usually respond to emails within 4 hours of them being sent to me. Always within 24 hours unless on a vacation or something.
EDIT: Just be happy you didn't end up with her and hear her endless nagging about taking the garbage out, etc. Saved yourself a lot of trouble on that one! |

It sounds like e-mailing on eHarmony is more trouble than wheedling sex out of a wife. Another reason to stay married. OTOH, in this instance it lived up to its promise: you know for sure you want nothing to do with this sow, right? No more wasted time with her.

Personally, I think if you are in search of a mate, it is a damned long time.
Think about it. If you were offering to sell a gun, and an "interested buyer" took 2 days to respond, you would feel that they are less credible. You would offer the gun to the first "I'll take it" I usually respond to all bullshit e-mails within 30 seconds. Blackberry is your friend.

Try to compose a coherent, decent email after spending three consecutive days on your feet for 14 straight hours, and that's just the time at work alone, not the drive to and from or the start and end of the day.
I think I did good to be able to make that initial reply when utterly fried. CJ |

You don't say how old she is but maybe her biological clock is ticking and she needs to find a man and get knocked up pronto.

I was loving it. Hot or Not rocked, as I was meeting a new girl each day. They weren't all quality girls but I was still meeting someone new each day. It also only costs $6 a month compared to $60 a month for eHarmony, screw that. |

$60 a month for eHarmony?
2 days x $2.00 per day = she spent $4.00 and didn't get laid, I'd be pissed too

taking two days to respond to an e-mail is a bit long. You have a good reason, but did not communicate that to her. A quick e-mail explaining that to her initially followed later by your well composed e-mail would probably went over better. That's all hindsight though. What I find odd is her locking the e-mail account. I'm not up on eharmony and what all that stuff means, but it sounds like she reacted in a bit of an extreme manner.

I pay all my bills, online. I don't write any checks, I don't use any stamps. I've bought pizza and had it delivered, online. I buy music and download it, online. I buy ammo online I buy guns... online. There is absolutely nothing wrong with meeting someone online. I'd take that 7 days a week over going to a smoke filled room and having to yell over the music to talk. Meeting someone at church is kewl, but I don't want to feel like I'm there to meet someone instead of worship. I've had better luck online than I have with friends arranging blind dates. |

Considering how they go on and on about how effective their system is at finding your best match, it kinda makes me wonder more about YOU, than her So you pretty much got branded a male version of her, eh ?Sucks to be you  hahaha

Most of the time the girls I had met online were there for the one thing
 then I met this blonde she kept saying no after everydate for a month then boom she says yes and wow. Now the interesting part; dated for 3 yrs got married and for the past year its been only three times a week but now I am deployed for 6 months and its none for 6 and she sends me emails saying you better be well rested when you get home cause you have to do your duty to me. 2 months down 4 to go this is the longest w/o good lovin since I was in HS.I went to yahoo personnels cause it was free that saved money for the dates. Why else do you thing they called me a hounddog in college.  |

Dude ....Your attempting to meet a person VIA internet!!!! What do you expect. If your not meeting anyone, re-evaluate your hangouts and daily routine. Maybe it's time to make some modifications in your life to allow for more male-female interaction.

I shower every morning, and after work if needed. I'm pretty quick to take one if I'm feeling less than presentably fresh. If you lie down on your bed and get up and the sheets stick to you, you PROBABLY need a shower. CJ |

Too bad for her. She should have watched Swingers and known that three days is industry standard. Her loss.
PS you haven't had fun until you've had your friends sign you up for an eHarmony account ... without your knowledge or consent.

Count yourself lucky. Imagine if you two did hook up. Sounds to me like she is an "I want it done right now" type of person. Imagine the Honey-Do List she would have for you EVERY day!

I can see it now, "you're not pleasuring me fast enough, damnit. Come faster you dick"...screeching bitch.
As I see it, you told her you were going to be super busy and you'd get back to her asap. It's not as if you didn't respond at all. |

This is a situation in which I'd say "the system worked." If you give a reasonable explanation, and she got huffy (whch I what I got out of her second e-mail, you lucked out. And, she doesn't even know where you live or what you look like, so no stalking problems. I'd say the whole thing worked great. Nexxxxxt!!

AFF is the most useless site of all time. If you're male. If you're female and not outright scary looking, you can use it to get laid as often as you like.
Yes, DC, it is a funny thread. Some of the responses have been hilarious! The way I see it, if this girl would put me on hold for not responding to her message within two days, then she's probably exactly the sort of demanding woman I want to avoid at all costs anyway. Since she requested the fast track as well, I figure she's probably the very impatient sort. That's not compatible with me because what I do, I do at my own pace. I won't be rushed or move before I'm ready. CJ |
