I'm beginning to think there is something wrong with my profile/account?

I have just a few "requirements" from my match (below)...and I have no matches. I've been signed up for 3 days.

All I'm asking is that they live up to 60 miles away from me, are a non-smoker, don't drink more than once a week, and are of a Christian denomination.

Should I just be patient? I would think there has got to be at least one out match there...

Well, yes, you need to be patient. Also, it may be your geographical location that has caused you to not receive any matches. As for your "requirements", there are men out there who fits your mold, but the matching system hasn't found those individuals YET. In the meantime, continue to live your life and consider other dating sites as well as meeting people IRL. Eventually, you will be matched with someone.

Have you checked that matching is on? Also there is a little button that says, find me a match (or something like that) click and see what it does.

You should be at least getting dead profiles (old ones).
If either of those dont work you need to contact EH. Your not the only who has had this problem lately.

Yes, matching is on, and yes, I have also clicked the "find new matches" button as well.

I guess I'm confused by this whole 29 dimensions thing and how long it's taking to find at least one match. I am on a few other sites, and obviously their way is different - I am able to search guy's profiles and contact them immediately on those sites. But with eharmony, after answering their crazy long questionnaire and putting in little requirements of my own - I still come up with no matches?

I guess I'll just be patient. I have been reading other people's posts and how they've received so many matches, blah blah blah...and how they had little requirements too (i.e. non-smoker, etc).

What do you mean by "yet?" I guess I'm just confused about EH's system. I know they have a LOT of people signed up on EH...does it really take that long to go through everyone and see if they happen to be a match for me? Is that what you meant?

I think there's probably something wrong with your account.

First, check over all your preferences ... make sure you haven't accidentally set everything to "very important" or very small ranges.

Second, double check you have matching turned on.

Third, contact Customer Care. You should not be getting zero matches. Sometimes an account has a glitch in it, or a zip code problem. Good luck!

Unless you live on an atheist island where everyone but you smokes. And your the only one with internet connection. I highly doubt you would not have at least one match by now.

Where do you live by the way? Just curious.

I mean that you will be matched, but it may take a little longer for you than it will for someone else. You have to take into consideration your geographical location, ethnic preferences, lifestyle preference, religious preferences, age preferences, so on and so forth. It does make a difference on how fast and how frequent you are matched with someone.

For me, I get matched everyday, but I also live in a geographical area that is the most populous area in the nation not to mention that I have set my preference to be much broader than yourself. So, naturally, I iwll receive more matches and from there I can narrow it down to those who best fits my specific preferences. When you decided to narrow down your preferences to a modicum of potential matches, then you will have a much more difficult time of being matched. Since you are on other sites, then focus on those gents until you are eventually matched with someone. Even when you do receive matches that fits your requirements, you may find other "dealbreakers" thus curtailing potential matches even further.

Be patient and resume with your daily duties. I am sure you will get matches and if not, then contact customer care and see if they can help you tweek your match settings to gain more favorable results.

LOL let me just say that while I have a tiny impatient streak, I am not frantically sitting here and freaking out that I have no matches yet Hehe. I am just curious.

Great, I love advice! I'll post my profile in a minute....

I'm at work now but I think I'll contact customer care when I get home tonight. I'm not expecting TONS of matches...but one or two would be great!
