A reader writes in the following question:
Continue Reading →Hello, your site has been very helpful, but I still have another question.
I read the article on why woman may not respond to emails, but I have a related issue. What do you think it means if women that I email view my profile soon after, meaning they theoretically have read them, and then do absolutely nothing? This happens a lot to me and is quite frustrating.

Note: I received a copy of this book for free in order to review it. I received the eHarmony UK edition of the book but I believe this is exactly the same as the U.S. version.

As we’re already nearly halfway through the spring, the time really is ripe to start planning for the summer. Prices are still quite low, even for high-season flights, and hotels are handing out the bargains – so get clicking, phoning and generally booking as soon as possible.
You’ve decided to try online dating and found yourself talking to a man that seems promising. You decided to meet and on your first date things go great. You enjoy each others’ company, enjoy the same things and over the next month or so you start to date more seriously. Generally everything feels wonderful.
