I've been an eHarmoney member for about 5 months. I am attractive, divorced and in my mid-40s. There is no rhyme or reason as to when I receive matches. I receive none for a long time and then I'll get many on one day. I'm sure the days when I receive many, they are from the "free" match weekends or promotions. I don't know the total number of matches received, but I am somewhat disappointed that I've only made it to open communication one time. This person was a "free" promotion match and our communication quickly dissolved after emailing each other a few times.

I guess I'm somewhat surprised by a couple of things. First, why does no one want to communicate with me? Second, why when you request to communcate, the match fails to give you the courtesy of telling you he's not interested? I know I'm not the only person dealing with these issues. I have read other comments in the past. The "about me" is just a very short resume of who we are. I try to keep an open mind. If I read a profile and have some interest, I usually will start communication and usually receive a closed match immediately or no response at all. I think only about 3 men have initiated communication with me.

I guess I don't understand why there's no interest in general. I think I'd feel better if there was some interest, communcation and then we decided the chemistry just wanted there. But, my attitude is you have to put yourself out there because you never know who you'll find around the next corner. I doubt I'll renew my membership given my disappointing experience. I truly feel it's been a waste of time. So, am I the only one having issues with meeting people using eHarmony? Of course, I'll still keep looking, but don't feel this method is working for me. Thanks for any comments or input!
