I decided to go through the absurdly long and tedious process of creating an eHarmony profile this weekend. After all that, it only showed 5 people as a potential match; only 1 of which was actually acceptable. I noticed today I have a few more showing up now. It appears that eHarmony only slowly drip feeds you matches over time for some reason instead of allowing searching. There is no real searching capability on the site, which I find pretty darn ridiculous myself.
I guess I will use my paid time with eHarmony to see if anything comes of it, but I really doubt anything will considering the extremely limited way they have it setup. If no go with it, then I am throwing in the towel on this online dating stuff. I may just have to go back to dating the good looking yet quite shallow people around here that I tend to attract in person. Such a pitty though since online dating seems like such a sensible and logical approach yet ends up just being a disappointment on many levels and a serious waste of time/energy/money.
That is too bad, and you really made the effort to change things up and seemed very pleased with how things were going before. I think in the summer is a hard time to do something like that, maybe give it a break and try back in the Fall? Maybe during that break you will meet someone IRL in your city instead. Funny how life works, you never know. I'm sorry it has got you down. I liked your new photos. Don't get to feeling too defeated, Clean Cut. Someone is out there who will be just right for you.
