I've been on eharmony since Oct 29, 2007. Almost three months. I have 27 open matches and 280 closed. Lately I'm lucky to get a new match. Maybe one every4-5 days.

How long have you been on eharmony and what are your counts?

I had a few in the beginning, but I've been a member for a year, and just renewed. I'm probably a bit over 1000, about half are closed, some just sitting there, and two in open communication I've met 2 people in person, and came close to meeting another two (they did the disappearing act after e mailing for a couple of months). I got to the phone with one and before we met, he met someone closer to his home. Most of my more succesful matches (past open communication) have been long-distance. I admit to being quite picky and could have easily met more people by now. I have a lot of requests but only answer about 10% of them. I was a member twice before this, and I had fewere matches, but was not a member for a whole year.

It seems to pick up after a month -- and I'm open to the whole country, and am only restrictive about religion (christian only). I have more matches than I can handle and just wait until I get "requests" to look at them. I find that doing this for a year or more is really truly helpful and not just a sales ploy, if you ar really serious about finding someone to settle down with.

I have had an adequate number of matches, but no one seems to want to communicate. I don't get it...why join a site and then not use it?

I've been on almost 2 months. Have over 400 closed matches, communicated with about 25, got to open communication with 8. Only one has moved to telephone conversations, and he lives in another state. I still am getting about 4-5 matches a day, but most are "dead" profiles. About 80% of my matches are over 100 miles away. I live in a city of almost 600,000, and the population of the county is over 900,000. I am lucky to get one match within 50 miles each week, and even more lucky of it happens to be active. After reading other people's info on their number of matches, perhaps I shouldn't be complaining?

I have been on and off of here for three years. This time since May. I have gotten 147 matches and only 5 have moved to open communication. In the entire three years that number is 9 to open communication. One wrote off line, one on line for a couple of months. I have only met one in person and we have gone on two dates. I can tell you I have gone months w/o new matches as well. It can get discouraging.

I heard it once described as a bell curve. If you are familiar with Myers Briggs there are some personality types that are 1% or 5% of the population and there are other personality types that have higher percentages. So naturally there are some of us that are going to have large quantities of matches and others based on our personalities that there won't be such large numbers of matches. For me when I put those peices together I wasn't so eager to close matches as I had been when I first came onto this site.

In three months I'm at about 230 matches. 220 of them are closed right now. I've noticed since the first of the year, the # of matches has really slowed down. Anyone else experiencing that ? So far I've been on 2 dates, (one man I dated for 2 months) and then he disappeared. Why do they do that ? The other date must have been 75 lbs heavier than his pictures and should have had someone help dress him ! Anyway, question- so far I've done the slow route with my matches. today I got a new match and he wants to fast track and his first and only message was let's forget emailing, when do you want to meet ? I've never experienced anyone who doesn't even want to talk on the phone. Any ideas, suggestions ?? I have not replied to him yet.
