Maybe you should try again with a new account. Maybe you tested on a bad day. I live in a big city, so it's easier, but I get 5-10 matches a day.

Hi,
I'm new on here too and still learning, but check your height requirements. I'm not getting many matches either, but when I checked out 1 of the 'about me' tabs it had a default of 'his' height matching mine being very important - I'm 5''1, the chances of a guy being my height is relatively slim. When I changed it I did get a few matches. Just a thought, hope it helps.

Unless something has changed, the height setting was just used for flex matching. I wish eH had used a height setting (where you could set a range like your age) as a primary match setting when I was a member. I think it would have helped me out.

haha nice! missed this post made me laugh..no i do infact live in a major city...sad eh?

cheers mate have a good one.
Hey man, have you tried looking at your ethnicity and religious settings. Maybe you have something unusual checked (on either purpose or accident)? Also, if you contact the customer care, they'll let you retake the profile questionaire.

If you want a silver lining in all of this, you may be better off not getting any matches and signing up for eH. From what I've read on the boards and based on my experience, it seems that if you're having trouble meeting people out in the real world that you're going to have trouble on eH as well. I wasted god knows how much time over a 9 month period with nothing to show for it.

At any rate, good luck with whatever you decide to do.

Hey, just wanted to say "don't despair!" I'm 27, and I've haven't had a date in 8 years, and have never had a girlfriend. There are more people who have had absolutely no luck in love than you think in the world -- it's just they're mostly keeping their mouths shut about it because they obviously feel like losers. Using eHarm (unsuccessfully, I might add) for the last couple of months has made me realize more about my limitations, too --- I need to learn to be more social in general. But so many factors are beyond your control -- some not very outgoing people get to know other people at work, at school, at church, etc. Who's to say what random people end up in your class or at your job with you? Some are lucky and there are compatible people they happen to meet. Others, not so lucky. eHarm hopefully just lets you roll the dice a few more times, but it's still luck-based too. Good luck!

unable to find a match for you at this time. damn to be part of the 20% who can't be matched with at least 1 person out of the millions on this website. I must really suck lol...

3 days and nothing is that normal? ive heard people getting waves of matches upon the first day of completing the questionnaire.

not even 25 yrs yet and not a single date my entire life! is there something wrong with me or what?
Yep, it's your attitude. You need to change your attitude about dating and your expectations of eHarmony.

eHarmony is just one of the things you should be doing to meet people, first of all.

Next, you should check your settings and see if you can relax any of them.

And finally, try to look on the brighter side of life. See what you can do to change things for the better.

Just wait untill a day or two before the expiration to your subscription to the site. You will receive tons of matches then.
