oh my god. none? that is ridiculous!!

I've been petitioning for one of my guy friends to join e-harmony...you two would make quite the pair...but alas...he's in dallas (although went to BVNW in the 90s).

Just remember, good things come to those who wait, but great things (or sweet resolutions) come to those who are patient. Hang in there, the prince will come in due time.

this is so good. i just tried salon's personals. Of course all my gf tell me i need a new photo. Sorry, that's the face you get when you take my picture!!

btw, that e-harmony 400 page questionnaire? there is NO changing your answers. EVER. you'd have to sign in as a different person and start all over. i hate e-harmony. I'm all about SALON! This week.

But yay, that 'scope is right on!

Too FUNNY!!! :)

...just remember. we're laughing with you, not at you. 8)

Hey, that happened to me too, on eHarmony. And don't think you're done with them just yet. You will now get emails from them for the rest of your life telling you that some schmoe the next town over might be a match for you. It all gets rather annoying and a little, well, creepy.

Too funny! The exact same thing happened to me with eHarmony when I moved to Iowa last year. I thought it was just because all the men here are married! That is what I tell myself anyway. eHarmony is decent but too expensive and many people don't pay for the service but you still get matched with them so it can be deceiving. Good luck with your search. You WILL find the right one!

When I filled out the questionnaire on e-harmony once, I was told: "Our matching model could not accurately predict with whom you would be best matched. This occurs for about 20% of potential users, so 1 in 5 people simply will not benefit from our service." So essentially I was told that I am too weird to even bother with :-) I have been rejected, not by men in the online dating world, but by an online dating service itself.

Oh my goodness! That was too funny! Sounds like something that would happen to me!

classic.

classic AJ.

you are the RBF'in Carrie Bradshaw!

That is too freakin hilarious!

Of course, I'm with Flatman...we're not laughing at you...just with you. Are you laughing???

That is too freakin hilarious!

Of course, I'm with Flatman...we're not laughing at you...just with you. You are you laughing, right???

Perhaps they did you a service. Stick with conventionial methods of breaking toilets and losing tools. Although, I'm sure you could provide us with hours of online dating recap entertainment.

You're too funny. My friend went out on a date with a guy she met online, great date, lots of fun, conversation, chemistry. End of the night, the guy said what a great time he had and could they get together soon ... she comes home, logs on and the guy had blocked her ... no further communication allowed!

Hmmm...maybe someone could start up an rbfHarmony.

Funny, yes. I'm a capricorn too. All I can say is that it's worth the wait to find the right one. Be patient. He just hasn't signed up for the e-harmony torture questionaire....yet.

I got nothing out of eHarmony. The few matches it made were not good ones and the process to get to where you can just exchange an email is as arduous as the first questionnaire. match.com is, sadly enough, as good as it gets.

ps - I'm also a Capricorn. hmmmmm....

well at least i am NOT the only one...its been one month almost on eharmony for me....and guess what? NO MATCHES..well i got 2 at the very start before i realized that my target age range was set from 40-58 or something like that...GAH!!

oh well, i went and changed the account to NOT automatically rebill me for the next month...

I don't know exactly what you are looking for, but I know eharmony has a very specific type of person to have sign up for it, it's not advertised but it's very much a Christian/church crowd site. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but I'm personally not a real religious person so I didn't want to meet someone who put the first thing on their list of important things as their relationship with Jesus...maybe try lavalife? It's kind of fun...if I was seriously looking it seemed a good place to meet people.

I've only been reading your blog for a short time, but I'm loving your adventures...I am kind of done with the dating scene, but I'm always intersted in reading others experiences!!

no guy is good enough for you chica!! same thing happened with my friend who lives near NYC! he was MORTIFIED!!! let's meet up and go to 7 minute dating...or is it 8 minute dating? or 6? hell, let's just drink martinis and find cute boys to make out with!

Shut up, eHarmony.

Clearly, this is just "act one" of the screwball comedy.

Can you increase the radius? After all, out there on the plains, a 50-mile radius is what, like 2000 single guys? Also, I think factors like religion are biggies with e-harmony, so if you aren't Protestant, you're thinning that down a bit more. I recall a Burt Reynolds movie -Gator?- where he uses the phrase, "stand out like a bagel in a bowl of grits." It's your uniqueness that makes you special (and makes finding a good match difficult).

Clearly something is goofy with E harmony or all the guys are so strange in your neck of the woods (well they are KU fans no doubt). In time you will find the right match probably a runner who will see the funny adorable person you really are.

you meet the right person when you meet the right person. be happy with you and the rest will fall into place.

Lucy…you got some splainin to do……

Flatman is soooooo correct, but I can’t stop laughing.

I hate to admit it, but that is actually hilarious! Something that would totally happen to me too.

That is hilarious. Maybe it is a sign not to use eHarmony. Don't worry. One day all of that have been "paiently" waiting will run into the one for us. Hopefully I do not run her over, or jit her with my bike. That would not surprise me though.

Too funny. :-)

Have you heard of fitnesssingles.com? I saw an ad for it in Runner's World, and it seems like a good concept - you can search for people by activity (triathlon, running, hiking, etc.). Drawback is that it doesn't seem like it has too many members compared to some of the other big online dating sites.

Great blog, by the way. Discovered it through Iron Wil's page...

OMG. That was the funniest thing I've read all week. No. Probably all month. And it actually is in the running for even longer than that. Ave, you corner the market on hilarious!

(Oh, and that's a GOOD thing.)

Too funny...just another reminder of why the world of dating can suck so much.
I got your cd in the RBF exchange. It rocks. I've found about a half dozen songs already that I never would have stumbled onto on my own.

awwwwwww. Don't be downhearted, hermanita.

*begin music* "Someday my prince will come . . . "

It would obviously take someone pretty special to be your equal, let alone your match. Dude must be awesome. He's out there.

Wow... you should write to the eharmony guy and gripe him out.. make him find someone specifically for you...

awwww...you have a CRN button on your blog ALREADY! I think I heart you. :)
