Chapter 5 - Month 3

This is the first quarter of my Great Date Experiment and it feels like a big fail at the moment. It would be helpful if were I able to do searches and look at options or if eHarmony held events like Match.com does.  Right now, I'm at the site's mercy. If the matches don't appeal to me, then I'm just out of luck and $180.00.  Direct questions aren't answered by their representatives even when I post this blog or email them through the site. I was just sent a survey after my initial call. This generated another email survey after my responses read "poor" in regard to the quality of their "assistance".

It's my third month as an eHarmony member and none of my "matches" have led to a meeting and/or date. I understand that the way their system works is that all the matches are chosen based on the initial questionnaire answers.  The problem is that not everyone completes a profile after answering these. If you have been reading this blog, you know I've had this complaint since the beginning. Nothing has been changed or altered.  I'm still being matched with faceless men that have only basic information or vague information on their profile page.  Just a hint: if you aren't comfortable listing your job title or the closest city/town to where you live, internet dating probably isn't for you.

Since I am still locked into this contract, I will continue to use the site and see if anything changes. I canceled the "automatic renewal" once I was allowed to do so. I suppose my next thought is if I would consider joining a different site after this membership expires. Maybe Match?
