Getting started

When you sign up to the eHarmony Australia dating website, you start by filling out an in-depth questionnaire. Your responses to our questions are used to identify the qualities you have in common with other members and potential matches.

We also have a distance setting feature; that way you won’t end up talking to our members based too far from you and not looking to travel. Think your dream partner is on the other side of the world? That’s fine too; just select the location!

Once we have identified the members you are compatible with, we leave it to you to see if any sparks begin to fly. Thanks to detailed profiles, you can get a feel for your potential match’s personality, interests and career before you even start communicating!

A good way to start a conversation is by sending your selected match an Icebreaker. This way you can see if you both share each others’ interests before entering into a full flung conversation. You can question each other in a number of areas such as; how important is chemistry to them, what makes them nervous and their attitude towards hard work. If your match responds by email, you can both look forward to getting to know each other better before setting up a date. This is something you can do safely, at your own pace.
