I joined this site many years ago and remembered it being it being a bit like paint drying, as I joined for 3 months, but matches soon dried up and I refuse to change my search radius, by making it bigger, because one has to be realistic with distance relationships. Anyway, I have, since then had a relationship (not from eHarmony I hasten to add) so have not been on EH for a couple of years or so. Sadly, the 'said' relationship finished and I obviously found myself single again. So I thought I would try EH again and see if it changed ? This time I did it for ONE MONTH as I was not going to be caught out again. I have about 2 weeks left as I write this ? I have had a good amount of matches and even got talking to a lovely lady almost straight away, but that fizzled out because she said she was HALF-HEARTED about being on there, so I thought why join ?!! . I am getting about between 8 to 12 matches a day. Quite a few I like!!! But nothing!! Only a couple or so. I know it is early days. Without the risk of sounding conceited, I am often told that I am a good looking bloke, which is so flattering, and I do write a good profile, if I say so myself. I am a realist as everyone has their own tastes in they are attracted to, as that is what makes the world goes around after all. I think a lot of them are Non Paying members! Or some are just lazy! Got talking with another lady, but that was a waste of time too in the end. What I DISLIKE about it is that cannot search or communicate with anyone unless you have been matched. The customer service I found was GREAT!! Very speedy reply by emails and very friendly, so that is good! I am pretty sure that I will DELETE my profile after my moth is up.

i was a member for a few years & was on the verge of cancelling my subscription as i had no luck whatsoever matches didnt suit or were inactive & then out of the blue i was matched with someone that was actually within my set distance & age which is rare she made contact with me we started talking thru the mail system until we swapped phone numbers 2 weeks after we first started talkin we met for the first time & wow what a surprise i got i had finally met some one i really liked has the same values as me it was just so nice to finaly meet someone like that since then we have spent a weekend away together she has met my children & thinks they r both wonderful they both love her to bits & we are now planning on movin in together within the next 3 months so it does happen eventually you just need patience there is someone out there for everyone

The major downside which almost cut my enjoyment of this service was the poor matchmaking service. For a dating website that prides itself upon finding you the right match, they go about it very blockheadedly. You spend up to an hour filling it a very long questionnaire upon sign-up and from then on, as far as I can tell, your "matches" are those who have ticked similar boxes and/or included similar interests. This means that I, a 29 year old male from Chichester, was being paired up with 64 year old females from Glasgow because we both had pet dogs, or we'd both been on holiday to Greece. If you can cut the wheat from the chaff though, the functionality is fairly good.

I have been using eharmony.co.uk for about 6 months with no success now before you dismiss this as just another bitter rant please hear me out. There are bound to be hundreds maybe thousands of people who have had success on the site because the concept is a good one. I think in the beginning the founders of eharmony had a great idea, where I think things have gone wrong is they've become too big and now there members are just numbers in a computer system rather than actual people. You'll see what I mean if you ever ask them a question through there email you get the most generic and condescending nonsense I have ever read in response. If you're having trouble finding matches expand your distance and other parameters, the implication being that you set them the way you did just to be awkward. I could go on but I'll wrap up by saying eharmony isn't a bad site it's just they've gotten too corporate and like most corporations the consumer is pretty low on the pecking order. So if you do decide to take a punt don't expect miracles.
