I have regularly gone for a month or so with no matches. I got about 6 "Flexible Matches" on the last "free communication" weekend (only 2 of which I had any communication with), and one since then.

Except for a brief flurry of activity when I first joined and some flexible matches when there's a free communication weekend, I think I've averaged about 2 or 3 matches per MONTH. Seriously.

I've been here nearly a year and have had 82 matches in total. I'd say about half of those never even look at my profile. A few have been guys I already knew by other means... and one was my brother (a little TOO close of a match for my tastes, thank you!)

Yeeps!! Awkward...

Well, I did begin to get matches again, so maybe it was just a lull.

What do you do with your matches when you do get them?

Hi bluskies4ever,

Well, since no one else has, I'll be glad to field this one!

The first thing to do, of course, is take a look at their profile. Unless something about their profile absolutely, positively lets you know that there is NO WAY this match has potential to be The One, we recommend you initiate communication.

We ONLY send you matches who our matching system determines are highly-compatible with you based on those qualities research has proven to be the foundation of happy, long-lasting relationships. Your part of the partnership with us is to discover if a match has the other qualities you are also seeking in a partner, and the only way you can do this is to communicate with them! That being said, if you are not interested in initiating or continuing communication with a match, please be courteous and close the match.

Next, please be patient when waiting for a response. We recommend that you allow a week, send a nudge, then allow another week for a response before you consider closing a match. Also, sometimes new members need some time to complete their About Me page or post a photo. If you don't want to initiate communication when a match has an incomplete profile, we encourage you to send a photo nudge, if applicable, and again allow your match a few weeks to update their profile.

Remember that you are looking for someone to spend the rest of your life with and, as with all worthwhile endeavors, being patient, flexible, and resilient is what leads to success. And while it is not always easy to be so, my guess is, to a person, our successful members will say that all the time and effort they spent during their search was well worth it!
All the best,

-Renee
