"We" hate eharmony...
That's the royal we...as in me, myself and I.
I love my friend Melissa. As frustrating as she may be at times, for the most part, she means well. I saw her on Saturday night, and she expressed concern about my lack of "male courtship". Now, you may recall that Melissa is mother to Nathan, and homeschool guru.
Now, it bothers me when people automatically assume that all homeschoolers are hardcore right wing religous blah blah...because I have met some who are just worried about the atmosphere in public institutions, and want their kids to get a good education.
Melissa, however, is VERY religious. But, I like her anyway. Go fig. We do this little dance where she tries to get me to go to church and I come up with a nice way to tell her to bite me. We've had a long drawn out discussion wherein I told her I respected her religious beliefs, that's great, just don't expect me to fall in line just because we're friends. She nodded, agreed, and promptly ingored everything I had to say on the matter. Other than that, we get along great.
Swtiching gears, you all know that I have tried some of the online dating sites. For those of you that do not know the story of EHarmony, let me bring you up to speed with the Reader's Digest Version. I registered, sat through their stupid test, got my matches. Now, your matches send you questions instead of email. I was waiting for my pictures to get approved as I was going over the matches the site had sent me. I was in the process of answering my first set of questions when the "offer" of the questions was revolked. I checked my email and found my picture had been approved and posted. Within five minutes (no lie), the other three offers were revolked as well. I was pissed. I said "screw you Eharmony!" and canceled my account. I didn't tell Melissa since she was the one who recommended them. I just told her that it didn't really work out.
That was about three months ago. Last night I get home and there's an email waiting for me. Guess who sent me a one month membership to my favorite site? Yes she did. So, I logged on and got a whopping three matches. Then, I was turned down by two, almost immediatly. (Go me!) I believe the third guy must be asleep at the switch. (Or, he's still busy praying, since eharmony has a pretty good reputation as a farily religious site. Think that has ANYTHING to do with my low turnout? ....Nah! Course not!)
I read the terms on the site, so I can't get Melissa a refund. I figured that if nothing else, it will give me something to write about.
This is my favorite part, however. There's a button that says, "Find me more matches". When I hit it, it says, "Our matching system was not able to find any new matches for you right now.
However, we are always automatically searching for new matches for you. Several thousand people join eHarmony each day and our matching system evaluates each one of them within 24 hours to see if they are a great match for you.
We will notify you via email when matches are found or you can check your My Matches page at eHarmony whenever you like.
We will keep searching and hope to find some wonderful matches for you soon."
Yes, Lori...we have over 20,000 men in our database, but none of them are interested in you. SUCKS TO BE YOU! HA HA! Is 10am too early to start drinking? I think eharmony is going to drive me to it...
