LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Netflix's thrilling addition to the matchmaking series, 'Jewish Matchmaking' has recently dropped on the streaming giant. Fans were treated to intense drama of the hopefuls who were seeking an ideal partner through a traditional method, shidduch, with a modern spin.

Among the singles were Harmonie Krieger who described herself as a spiritual being with a 'hippie vibe' rather than a religious one. She was looking for her dream man whose beliefs and values align with her own. Matchmaker Aleeza Ben Shalom paired Harmonie with Aron Temkin, Adam Frankel and Ben but she didn't find anyone compatible. However, Aleeza also gave a few pieces of advice to Harmonie for a perfect date but she seemingly ignored them all.

Harmonie Krieger ignores Aleeza Ben Shalom's dating advice

Harmonie geared up to meet her first match Aron in 'Jewish Matchmaking' Episode 2. Just before her date, Aleeza connected with Harmonie to give some tips and tricks to have a wonderful date. Aleeza advised Harmonie to not jump into talking about children on the first date. The matchmaker further suggested not talking about past relationships. Furthermore, Aleeza strictly suggested to Harmonie, "Try no touching for the first five dates." Aleeza elaborated, "In Judaism, Shomer Negiah is the practice of not touching and the purpose is to keep the physical relationship waiting until the holiness of the marriage comes together." Harmonie found the advice difficult to actually apply but assured the matchmaker to maintain the distance for her date. As expected, Harmonie broke Aleeza's all three rules. Harmonie gave a tight hug to Aron as soon she met him. She also discussed kids and past relationships.

'Harmonie broke EVERY rule'

'Jewish Matchmaking' viewers trolled Harmonie for breaking Aleeza's rules. A social media user tweeted, "Harmonie is definitely attracted to the bad, sexy guys. Though honestly, I like Aron. He is a little older and nerdy but has this lovely, goofy smile & warmth. I can't believe she went & did EXACTLY the opposite of what Aleeza asked. Self-sabotage? I think so." Another viewer added, "Harmonie broke EVERY rule... Lordt... I'm watching this date like... #JewishMatchmaking." Another user said, "Aleeza says NO TOUCHING and what does Harmonie do? BIG HUG." Another critic wrote, "Aleeza: No touching for the first five dates. Harmonie: Hi! I’m Harmonie! Give me a hug!" Another person penned, "No touching for 5 dates?!???! Nvm, I'm out."
