My "Great Date Experiment" is drawing to a close.
I have attempted to meet a man via eHarmony for a year and have met only one man in person who turned out to not be a match. I've been sent men as far away as South Africa and New Zealand for potential dates. While exotic on one level, these are completely unrealistic choices. I don't expect someone to travel several thousand miles to meet me or visa versa. I have been sent many "matches" that are incomplete profiles with no information or photos. I expect that these were to uphold the website promise of sending you something regularly.
My big discovery is that a website that controls who you are matched with is the electronic equivalent to letting my elderly Aunt set me up on a blind date. I have no control or choice in the matter other than to say "yes" or "no".
I had considered joining Match.com, but after reviewing their site and options have decided against it. Again, what is being presented to me isn't of interest. Instead of enticing me to fork out $75.00 it has had the opposite effect. I'm saving my money and looking at being more social with humans off line.
Thus, ends my online dating adventure.
