The only reason I am giving eHarmony one star is because there was no option to give them any less. I would honestly have to say that this was the biggest waste of money I can remember in a long time. that is a pretty big statement since I have recently visited Vegas. Knowing what I know now, I would gladly take the money I spent on eHarmony for the month and take it to the blackjack table. Even if I lost it all, I could have a couple beers, and maybe some conversation, even if it with another guy, for my time and money. I didn't get any matches sent to me until after 2 days. Then, I got 2. I then got six more a couple days later. I got a total of 8 matches the entire time I was there! I even went through the desperate act of asking it to find me more matches. You know that wont work even before you try, but ya gotta try something. After about 5 minutes it tells you there are no matches. During the last weekend, I saw multiple advertisments on TV stating that anyone could communicate with their members for free for a full 3 days (the weekend). I thought that I would get some sort of communication from that! I got nothing. Nothing at all. Of the eight matches I got, I was comletely not interested in 2 of them, right from the start. 1 of them said she was not interested from the start. 3 of them, I closed after waiting almost 2 weeks after sending them the first round of questions, and getting no response (1 of them even contacted me first, then never answered my first communication). 1 Match got to the third stage of communication and then, all of a sudden she just disappeared too. There were never any "Closed" or "On Hold" messages, they just disappeared. They probably just gave up and don't even get on the site anymore. I reached open communication with one of them, and we exchanged phone numbers. I still talk to her occasionally, but she is far from me, and it is obvious that we are never going to have that spark and we will always just be friends. So, there really is no point in going out of the way to meet. The reason I even had a match so far is because I chaged my requirements to cover pretty much the whole state, since I travel a lot. This still hasn't helped. I also travel to Miami a great deal, so my match area includes that as well. It is impossible for me to believe that eight matches are all thay can find in all the big cities included in this area (including Miami, Naples, Ft. Myers, Orlando, Gainesville, Jacksonville and Tampa, and everywhere in between). I met someone on MySpace that is also on eHarmony, we changed a few of our settings and even tried to rig it up so that eHarmony would match us. Still nothing. I truly believe that they are just not doing anything after they take your money! I bet that in a couple days when it is about to expire, they will finally contact me, to ask me to re-new. I would have better luck emailing them back and trying to find a single female customer service agent to chat with, than waiting for them to give me matches. I really don't know what is going on with eHarmony. Perhaps free sites and cheaper sites are just taking over. I can understand why someone wouldn't want to pay so much for this service. It is significantly more than other sites. All this and you have no control. You just sit there waiting for the matches to come. When they don't, you have nothing you can do about it. I even clicked on the button that says, "How are we doing", and I told them how unhappy I was. There was no response. It is this simple, I gave them my money and now they are doing nothing, absoutely nothing. I am having better luck with other dating sites. I always thought something like MySpace would just have a bunch of immature idiots on it and was not worth while. There is some truth to that. However, I would rather root them out and find a few good ones then have nobody to contact at all. I am a pretty good looking guy and have a lot of great qualities. I can see that from my results on other sites. eHarmony is just a worthless waste of money. I could go out of my house without showering for 3 days, in my boxers, and stand on the side of a street asking for money and meet more interesting people than you can on e Harmony. Sad, but true. If you haven't waisted your money on it yet...dont do it. Jst get on any other site and send random emails out. You will have better luck! What a waste of money!!!
