I had been getting 5 matches every day for a while. I was getting so many matches that I just started closing off the ones I had no interest in and keeping ones that were good. But in the past 2 weeks all of a sudden I stopped getting any matches. I wonder if I have gone through all the matches possible and now I am paying for a year with the same 20 left over matches I've saved or if there is some algorithm that I am not seeing. (Like I thought maybe you were capped at a certain # of matches so I started to close a bunch out to make room and no new ones came in). Have I just gone through the entire compatible database for what i want? I am not going to change my settings to get different matches because that would just give me uncompatible matches. Anyone else have a period with no matches and they magically pick up or am I destined to wait until new people sign up to get matches?

Sounds like you've gone through the pool of members that met the criteria you set. If you ease up on your settings, you'll get more. I've found that once you've cleared the tsunami period of matches after joining, it really comes in fits and starts. I'll go several days with nothing, then randomly get 7 matches in one day. It could been seen as frustrating, but I try to look at it as more of an adventure and something to keep me on my toes.

Pretty much the norm. (No secret plot here! )

Hi Dreamingartist,

Sorry to hear that you are currently dry on the matches. It could be that we haven’t found compatible matches for you within the settings you’ve chosen, but it could also be something adjustable.

The best thing to do is to contact our Customer Care team to see if they can offer some insight for this, and see if you can get more matches. Here’s the link to contact them: http://help-singles.eharmony.com/ Hope things improve in your search.

All the best,

~Kate

I have been noticing a decline in new matches, used to be about 7-8 a day, now its down to about 2-3, but thankfully I have about a half dozen girls in open communication, so its a little drier but the water is still flowing

Had you initiated contact with most of your previous matches? Just guessing, really, but maybe if you get a lot of matches and chuck all of them you may get fewer?

I haven't had a new match sent to me in weeks. I did call customer care about it and they said my settings looked good. When I first joined EH, I was getting tons of matches, now nothing. I have one month to go from a 3 month sign up. I'm not sure I will be continuing this. It is discouraging.

Looks weird, maybe it's just a glitch it will go back to usual in a couple of days.
