This is my last week in the midwest! I've been planning/prepping a move for the last 5 months or so; therefore, I haven't been dating or trying to start a relationship here. I live in Rockford IL. If you're not familiar with the area; it made Forbes list #14 on the top 20 miserable places to live. High crime, 20% unemployment the list continues...
Next weekend I make the trek to San Antonio TX. I'm very excited! Hot weather; blizzard-less winters; better fishing and I get to train with a highly skilled martial artist.

Dating
So, I might join eHarmony again. I haven't been a member for about 1 year. I've seen several posts where people criticize changes made to eHarmony. So what are these new changes?

One of my best friends lives in San Antonio. Maybe she would have someone to introduce you to.

Congrats! And I know you'll love it there.

I've been to San Antonio several times and it's a great place. Good luck with the move there.

Well I guess congratulations on the move too.

eHarmony has made a big site downgrade a month or so ago. One big change is to change the whole procedure for closing a match. They added a folder called Archive and then put closed matches under the Archive tab. If you have a match in your New folder that you are not interested in you have to move them to your Archive folder. Then open them again from the Archive folder to close them. There are two other associated changes with how you close a match. One is that you have no opportunity to give a reason why you are closing a match, you just SLAM the door in their face. Also when you are closed you can no longer send a Final Message, some of the messages were that you had posted a photo or completed your profile and would like the match to reconsider and of course there was one where you could wish the match the best of luck in their search.

Also the ability to re-open a match has been removed. Now in order to re-open a match you have to contact Customer Care (and from what I have read they may or may not re-open the match) to request that the match be re-opened.

The site navigation is now more cumbersome than it was whenever you were last on.

The whole look and feel of the profile was revamped several months back. I would not say that this is either a plus or minus. Some things were added and a section was removed

The big problem with the site downgrade is that when the changes were made the changes were not well tested and the site was buggy. I think that most of the bugs have been corrected for the moment.

An even bigger problem is that eHarmony seems to be heading in a completely different direction and it is not one that I am interested in heading. Even though I have been a believer in the eHarmony system for a very long time I am losing faith in their ability to perform now. I wish I could suggest something other than eHarmony but I had no luck whatsoever with the other sites I have tried.

Good for you. I hope you like SanAntonio. There's this little town nearby called Gruene that you might enjoy one Saturday. It has antique stores, a beer/dance hall with live music and a restaraunt called the Gris Mill. It used to be a, well a mill, and it practically burned to the ground in a fire. Someone bought it, kept the burned out shell of the main structure, built a bunch of outside decking/patio seating into the hill along the banks of the Guadalupe river. It's a fabulous date day. I like to go there after an afternoon of kayaking. All of those lovely 100 year old Cypress trees gracefully lining the banks of the river, drink a cold beer while a nice soft breeze plays backup for the sinking setting sun. Ahhh, I'm relaxing already.

The only changes on EH that I can think of are the page layout and the archive setting. To me the archive thing is just an extra step/extra buttons to push/takes more time to close a match; but, when you do close someone, you no longer have to give a reason. Other little things, but those are the main ones. Log on and take a look; you don't have to pay to do that.

But down here, we call a 12" snow one where you see 12" between snow flakes!!! We also have snirt: snow plus dirt. Not so good for the kiddies trying to build a snow man. It's a snirt man instead. He's always real dirty, with bits of grass and stuff hangin outta him. Blech!
