eHarmony has started today a 4 day Free Communication Weekend which runs from 12:01AM Friday, August 15th to 11:59PM Monday, August 18th (Pacific Standard Time).

This will most likely be the last free communication weekend (FCW) of the summer. So if you are interested in trying out this dating service, now is the chance to do it for no cost and with no credit card required.

All new and existing free members participate in FCW so once you have created your membership account and taken the personality questionnaire all you need to do is review your new matches. Once you have selected one or more members you would like to converse with you then start the guided communication process. This is a series of 3 or 4 questions that you ask your match. He or she will then answer the questions along with asking their own. This process is a great way to break the ice and helps get the conversation going. Once it is complete you can then start mailing the person directly. This FCW does not include eHarmony's secure call, profile photos or skip straight to email. To enable these features you will would have to purchase a subscription.

Yesterday eHarmony started up their Free Communication Weekend (FCW) again for 4 days. You can "Feel the Love" from July 24th to the end of the day on Sunday July 27th.

Free communication allows you to use the eHarmony guided communication process with the matches you receive and that you feel a connection with. Once it is complete you can then send emails to them as well. Free Communication doe not include skip straight to email, secure call (a phone service - see our eHarmony review for more details), and profile photos.

To participate in a FCW all you need to do is signup for an eHarmomy membership and take the profile questionnaire. This process will take you about 30 minutes and is a key step since the information you give them about your interests and personalty will be used by eHarmony's matching algorithm to match you with other high quality members. The membership account, taking the questionnaire, and receiving matches are always free and no credit card is required.

From June 19th 12:01 am PST (Pacific Standard Time) to June 22nd 11:59 pm PST users of eHarmony can communicate with their matches for no cost. This is an ideal time to try out this dating site since this promotion is heavily advertised in the media which brings in a lot of new members who are looking for a relationship.

So how does it all work? If you don't have a membership with eHarmony already you first need to create one and then complete the personality questionnaire. This process will take you about 30 minutes and is a crucial part of the matchmaking process since you will be answering questions which will then be used to automatically match you together with compatible members. Once you have finished with the questions you will then receive your first batch of matches. From these matches you can then choose one or more to communicate with. You first start with the guided communication process which breaks the ice and allows you to ask and answer any questions your match may have. From there you can then continue and send out emails. Free Communication weekends do not include photos, skip to email, and secure call.

Almost 3 months ago on St. Patrick's Day was when the last eHarmony free communication weekend happened. If you would like to find a long-term relationship then eHarmony is the online dating service you will want to try out. It is free to create a membership and for the next 4 days free to communicate as well with no credit card required.

With the Memorial Day weekend almost upon us eHarmony let us know that they are celebrating the holiday by having a 5 day long free communication weekend (FCW) for new and existing members. It starts Thursday May 22nd and ends at midnight on Monday May 26th.

What would be better than to start the summer with a new relationship. eHarmony's free communication allows all members to use the guided communication process and send and receive email at no cost and with no credit card required. If you haven't tried eHarmony before, all you need to do is create a new membership account and complete the profile questionnaire on either the website or dating app (Android and iPhone both available). This process takes about 30-45 minutes and is free as well. Once complete you will then receive your first batch of high quality matches which you can review and communicate with if you so choose. FCW's does not include photos, secure call (phone call service), or skip straight to email.

eHarmony’s last free communication weekend happened 2 months ago in March. For more information on this premier dating service that is known for creating long-term relationships you can read our review of eHarmony. For those of you in the UK, here is our eHarmony.co.uk review.

Dating is never easy, but apparently it's especially hard if you're a woman living in New York City or man living in San Francisco.

According to data from 2012, there are 473,600 unmarried men aged 20-44 living in the Bay Area, and 396,373 unmarried women in the same age range. Men outnumber women by 77,227. In New York City, on the other hand, women outnumber men by 7,215. An online dating service called The Dating Ring is getting a lot of press lately for promising to fly a jet full of single ladies from NYC to SF (while sending a plane-load of men in the opposite direction) if they can raise the money for the stunt.

It started out as a joke, but now Lauren Kay, CEO of the dating service, is seeking $10,000 to $50,000 in Crowdtilt funding to buy plane tickets for some lucky single people on Memorial Day weekend. If the financial goal isn't reached, everyone who made a donation will get their money back, but if all goes as planned, the East and West coasts will become the sites of “matchmaker-curated dates” arranged by The Dating Ring.

"It's a crazy idea that started out in jest," Kay told the San Jose Mercury News. "But it is not that crazy to go to another city with better odds to look for someone special." She suggests that subjects think of it as “a fun vacation.”

Frankly, it sounds like the perfect opportunity for another terrible reality show. Just imagine all those touchy-feely Californians going up against the hardened New Yorkers! So much potential for drama!

Richard Lane, a Bay Area dating expert with Events & Adventures, thinks that local men “will want ladies at the same level of intelligence as them.” Men in San Francisco “want someone who wants to get up and go. A woman who will hang with him at the sports arena in sweats, with her hair pulled back, by day -- but that night, can dress up, go dancing and knows how to pick the right wine to go with a great meal."

Of course, the potential culture clash isn't the only thing that stands to go wrong with this silly scheme. Jeremy Bollinger, president of DateSwitch, a San Francisco speed-dating firm, notes that the setup is dooming New York women and San Francisco men to being in long-distance relationships from the get-go. "Why do this,” he asks, “when there are actually San Francisco women looking for San Francisco men?"

I’ll tell you why, Jeremy: publicity. And it’s working darn well…the Internet hasn’t shut up about the idea since it was first announced.

Just in time for St. Patrick’s day eHarmony is having a Communicate for Free 5 day promotion. It starts today, March 13th and runs till the end of day on Monday, March 17th.

Free communication on eHarmony allows all members to communicate via messages with each other at no cost.
