eHarmon-me: Day 2

When I got to work today and checked my personal email, my inbox had blown up! I had three requests for communication from last night's matches, 7 new matches, and 4 requests from those 7 new matches!

I couldn't see what they looked like, and you better believe I didn't want to log onto eHarmony at work, so I just speculated about these new matches. Of course, not knowing what they looked like drove me insane! A few were lawyers (very nice), some were IT, and I don't remember what the others were. Oh! One was a radio broadcaster. This one requested communication, and it makes me nervous. What if he's doing some sort of expose on online dating. Will my name be changed to protect the innocent?

What drew me to eHarmony instead of match, was that only people that you are matched up with can see your photo. But if they're matching me with 7 people a day, how long is this going to go on for?

After work, Cat and I went to the gym, as usual. And I couldn't help but be afraid that every guy in there was a potential match, and was looking at me, and knew I was on there. Everytime a guy smiled, or said "excuse me" or held open the elevator door, all I could think was "he knows!!!" Of course, that's ridiculous, but I didn't like not knowing!

When I got home I logged on. The three communications from the first night matches were questions that I had multiple choice answers too. I answered their questions and posted back some of my own. Two of these guys were cute, so I was happy they talked to me. The third didn't have a picture, but I answered his questions anyways.

My new matches were definitely 50/50, just like yesterday. Some did not show their photos. Out of the ones that did, about half were cute, the others weren't bad, I just don't know that I'd give them a second glance on the street. I think I'll wait to communicate with them until I've let Cat take a glance at them. On the bright side though, they were all definitely taller.

I can't help but think that a lot of these matches look familiar. I'm not sure if I actually KNOW them, or if I just recognize them from my match.com stalking. It is making me a little nervous though. And why have I been matched with 3 college administrators? That's a little random? What is a college administrator and how many of them are running around Richmond that I would be matched up with 3?

So, tonight, I sent communication to the three from yesterday, and one from today. I have three that are hanging out there, but like I said, I need Cat to look at them. Or, maybe I'll wait and see what develops with these guys.

I guess today's question is, is eHarmony squirreling away matches? Or are these all new members? Surely there can't be that many new people that join every day? So, when I get a match, there's a good possibility that they're in the works talking with someone else already.
