Also try expanding your distance. Remember replacing "up to 30 miles" with "up to 60 miles" includes people who are 31 miles away.

Setting the Distance importance a notch or two down from Very does the same thing.

There are still more adjustments in preferences and settings , the broader they are set the better.......open mindedness and flexibility help as well.......

You can always close a match if it's way out of your preferences, but at least you'll receive some to evaluate on a case by case basis...................Lets you chose rather than a computer screening program .

Also make sure your pix and profile are the best they can be, you can post it here for peer review feedback.

Just an update -Since last I posted I have had a grand total of 0 matches, not even a flex match. This is ridiculous to pay this much money.
I also tried okCupid and that seems to be a way better site so far and it's absolutely free. But since I paid for this I'd still like to have it as an option.

Keep in mind that some people list themselves as Christians because they grew up in a church but are not particularly serious about their faith and haven't set foot in a church much since age 18. If they are choosing atheists as acceptable matches, then they might be pretty flexible on religion... either that or they want to convert you, ha ha. So unless you are dead set on dating only members of the Madelyn Murray O'Hair Fan Club they might be worth talking to.

I seem to have the opposite problem - I get a lot of allegedly Christian guys who turn out not to be terribly serious about their faith, which is disappointing.

Since last I posted I have had a grand total of 0 matches, not even a flex match. This is ridiculous to pay this much money. I've even tried just setting my preferences all to 1 just so I can get a freaking match, but still nothing. Someone mentioned tech support, I guess I might try that and see what's up. Matching is for sure turned on too.

I also tried okCupid and that seems to be a way better site so far and it's absolutely free. But since I paid for this I'd still like to have it as an option.

Also these boards have some obvious errors, I could not log in w/ my original account and also when I tried to use the forgot password link, it said my email was invalid, even though I HAVE A COPY OF THE FREAKING ORIGINAL CONFIRMATION EMAIL IN IT.

Awesome programming there eharmony!
You sound very frustrated, as I would be in your place.

I really think it's possible there's something screwed up about your account ... call customer care to check on that. It happens sometimes. 800-951-2023

yeah I've sinced changed my options to include christians as well. Increased my range to over 100 miles as well. Still have gotten nothing other than another flex match.

As for support I contacted them and here's the b.s. I got back:


Thank you for contacting eHarmony Customer Care.
