Argh, matches who don’t read profiles

I never doubted that I’ve had matches who don’t read About Me pages. The first thing these paying subscribers do each morning is to click “View Match Details” and, without a blink, send their 1st canned questions.

Last Monday, two days after I let my account expire, and considerate of other people’s time, I changed my occupation description to: “Nonpaying member.” I mean, it’s there in my face, I’m not subscribed — don’t expect a reply!!

Last Wednesday I saved my About Me answers to a text file in my computer for posterity, and cleared all my About Me answers. I mean, My About Me page is blank — don’t expect a reply!!

Under “Is there any additional information you would like your matches to know about you?, I wrote this:

SPECIAL MESSAGE: Because of several reasons, I’ve chosen not to renew my membership this time. This means I cannot contact you within eHarmony. If you got my contact info, I want to hear from you; please send your message or replies there. Or what you could do is include your contact info on your response (e.g., put your email address on one of your 2nd questions or in one of your answers). I’ll get back to you immediately and thank you. Otherwise, the earliest I shall reply to you is in December … that is, unless I report here that I’m already engaged!!

It worked for some, because over the past six days, six of them closed the match. Nevertheless, another six still contacted me. This morning, someone nudged me. C’mon, sweeties. It’s crazy. You’re all crazy.

    Perhaps they had faith that their love for you would bring you back to them…
