Is there a way to find a specific person's profile? Or can you search people in your area that haven't been matched to you?

Hi FreddyB,

Welcome to eHarmony Advice and to our Singles site!

One of the reasons eHarmony is different from other online sites is because members will only receive matches if they are highly-compatible with them along those internal traits/characteristics, scientifically proven to predict long-term, successful relationships...whew!

While it is certainly convenient being matched with someone who lives in your area, if she isn't highly-compatible with you according to our matching system, matching you would not support your search for your soul mate and, basically, defeat the purpose of you being an eHarmony member!

What we encourage members to do instead is to be as open-minded as possible when setting your Matching and Flexibilty preferences. The larger the matching pool you provide us, the more matches you can potentially receive. Then you have the opportunity to, as it were, "browse" these matches.

Of course, you know when there is no room for negotiation, but in other areas, we suggest you take a chance by widening a preference just a little more. Doing so may lead to a very happy surprise as it has for many succesfully-matched members!

Best of luck with your search,

-Renee
