Feedback from March 2010 Survey

Feedback from the March 2010 Survey
Examples of feedback from those who have been successful in finding a partner. They were diligent in: (1) reading the Member's Guidebook and following the guidelines, (2) provided feedback, (3) came in regularly for a review, (4) attempted to meet each person twice and (5) did not expect Mr/Ms Right instantly.

From Men:
". . . C..... and I are now in a committed relationship."
"J.... and I have a committed relationship."


From Women:
"I really enjoyed the Entre Nous experience and learnt a lot about myself and how to be in a loving relationship from EN. I am now married to a wonderful man and expecting our first baby . . ."

"I am extremely happy with the partner I met through Entre Nous and hope to have many years enjoying his company. . . "

"I was fortunate to meet my now partner towards the end of my membership. The Entre Nous experience provided me with different opportunities to meet a diversified group of people who I may not have had the opportunity to meet otherwise. I viewed this as part of the journey I needed to take to understand what I wanted out of a relationship."

Examples of feedback from those who were not successful: They (1) did not read the Member's Guidebook and did not follow the guidelines, (2) did not always provide feedback, (3) rarely came in for a review, (4) did not try to meet each person twice and (5) expected each introduction to be Mr/Ms Right:
"Had one potential possibility but I didn't follow up. I hadn't learned the knack of organising the 2nd meeting at the first meeting."

"I found that men weren't interested in me because I was overweight"

"I should have given feedback. I was disappointed with the introductions"

"I should have agreed to meeting again at the first meeting so that I would have met the men more than once. I felt that the Entre Nous experience, although good, didn't match me with people that I had a connection with."

One final feedback from a person who has formed a relationship with a non-member:
"I feel the Entre Nous experience was good "ice breaking" preparation for the getting to know phase with my husband, particularly the advice to meet at least 3 times. It was the third meeting with my husband where I began to see the possibilities of life together. If I had stopped seeing him after the second meeting (which I was tempted to do), I would not have begun to discover his best characteristics.

In the survey responses there were the usual comments:
He left without paying his share. This is one of life's lessons. Meeting several people gives one the experience to learn how to cope with these things on the singles scene. This scenario is just as likely to happen with non-members. Instead of blaming Entre Nous, be ready to stop a person leaving and ask them to pay their share.
He talked about his ‘ex'. No one can argue with, "I don't want to hear about that". Try it! Manage the meetings and in particular manage the conversations. Make the meeting enjoyable even with someone who is not Mr Right. Be practised for when you do meet a Mr Right. Most men would respect your request to not hear about his ‘ex'.

He talked about other women. As above.

She was half an hour late. With a smile on your face suggest that you don't mind waiting once but would not be as agreeable if it happened again.

She/he says, "I am too busy to meet you for the next few weeks": Say words to the affect, maybe you should have placed your membership on hold. Does this mean that I am going to miss out? I was looking forward to meeting someone this month. I know that when Entre Nous has completed the matching everyone is matched and that there is no one else available.

There were many more wonderful responses, in particular from those who had formed a relationship and those who feel they are well on the way to forming a relationship. It seems that those who have formed a relationship were those who were prepared to put in the time and energy to make it happen.

Are you giving your membership with Entre Nous the time and energy it deserves?
