Here, for reference, is the complete list of choices for the “What are your three BEST life-skills?” question in the About Me page and in the questionnaire.
Do you tell the truth here (your three best?) or do you pick the ones that you think will catch the interest of the match you want? Also, do you use your matches’ choices to tell you if you would communicate or close the match? For example, are there life-skills that you avoid? Tell us in the comments.

This is a personal favorite among the 2nd canned questions. It is the indirect way of asking “What are you looking for in a relationship partner?”, which is a repeat of the About Me question “What is the most important quality that you are looking for in another person?”.
Make sure your answer to this question jives with your answer to “most important quality you are looking for” in your About Me. If you want and it doesn’t hurt, just restate your “most important quality” answer, epitomized in your closest friend.
Meanwhile, I heard dating advice against citing a member of the opposite sex as your “closest friend”. What do you think of this? Can a woman find a date while having a very close male friend?
Why it’s okay to send this canned first question:
- When you’re weary of immature love and have decided that you “have no time anymore to wait for him to grow up.” This question immediately blows off jealous matches.
- You are very jealous and dependent yourself.
Why it ain’t okay to send this:
- It hints that in a past relationship, jealousy was a reason why your relationship ended horribly. Are you sure you want a complete stranger know this?
- Sending this needs caution because it takes many people to an “unhappy place.”

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….”

Here are my own “feature requests”…: 1. I’m with you on the ‘monitor what readers read and give them more of the same”, but do the frequent short posts fall in this category? I hope not. They’re just diluting the useful articles with noise. Nobody comments on them, that’s for sure. 2. You guys …
