things are looking dreary.

i have been cooped up in the house for two days due to the snow and haven't received a new match for over a week on eHarmony. today, i decided i would push the little "find new matches" button to see if there were any new people out there for me. the message below is what eHarmony gave me in return.

message from eHarmony:
Our matching system was not able to find any new matches for you right now.

However, we are always automatically searching for new matches for you. Several thousand people join eHarmony each day and our matching system evaluates each one of them within 24 hours to see if they are a great match for you.

We will notify you via email when matches are found or you can check your My Matches page at eHarmony whenever you like.

Our matching criteria, based on the 29 dimensions of compatibility, are extremely strict, and are what makes eHarmony a unique and powerful tool in finding your soul mate. We will keep searching and hope to find some wonderful matches for you soon.


things are looking dreary. no matches? eHarmony, i'm not sure that i like your 29 dimensions of compatibility. why am i not compatible with the thousands of new guys that sign up on your site every day? i think i should have tried out Match.

  1. same here...very, very few matches lately. and i just hit the "find new matches" button and got the same message. i think eHarm needs to change their methods and spread out the many, many matches we all get at the beginning. I'd rather get a couple a day, instead of running out after a month.

    whatever.

    that's how i feel today.

  2. I have a true match.com story. A girl met a guy on match.com. They had good conversations. For one reason or another they did not go out.

    Months later she was out in Boulder and caught this guy staring at her. He looked familiar to her but she couldn't place it. He came up to her and said, "Weren't we talking to each other on Match.com?"

    She realized it was him. They started dating, and now 3 years later they are married and have a little boy.

    So this experiment may bear fruits later down the road. Don't distress.

  3. Well, just think of it as the guy who may be right for you is special and not just anyone. Ever consider he may be outside of the state? Only proceed with that if you'd be seriously willing to work on a long-distance relationship...that involves a lot of give-and-take (but it has its advantages too, don't get me wrong.)
    Again, only if you are serious about it.
    Greet every match with the possibility that things may work out with him, once he communicates with you--
    and,
    remember there are way more girls than guys on eharmony but the total will definitely rise come the holidays! keep your eyes open. ;)
    Remember it's not the quantity but the quality. It only takes one.

    p.s. that find matches button NEVER did anything. i think it's just there to help people feel like everything has been covered- like hitting 'check mail' even though you just logged in and there are no new messages type deal.
