Attitude Adjustment

I need an attitude adjustment. For those who are not familiar, eharmony has what it calls "guided communication". For the first few communication exchanges, you don't just write to the person. First you exchange a list of pre-selected questions, multiple choice answers. For example: If you decided to stay at home for the evening would you tend to (a) watch tv (b) talk on the phone (c)clean (d) read. By the third round or so, you write your own answer. Only after this process of pre-selected back and forth, do you enter into an "open" communication phase, where you can freely write back and forth.

Okay... so I'm like a kid in an elevator pushing the buttons indiscriminately...if only I could push them all at once. But instead, "a"-sure why not; "c" no I'll try for "d" this time. I mean, how helpful is that?...to review a multiple choice answer. I've been answering everyone's questions. And, because I'm bored and bored and bored I just zip right through it all, barely paying attention to what's said, what my response is, who's who, like I really care...
