Dear eHarmony,
Fuck you so hard. No, seriously. Fuck you SO HARD. I can't put it more eloquently than that.
First of all? Or second of all, considering that swearing at you came first of all? My brief stint in office work taught me that 60% discounts on your services mean that your company is failing. And that makes me happy.
And you're right, it only takes one. It only takes ONE OF THE JACKASSES THAT YOU SET ME UP WITH TO MESS UP MY LIFE. I'm sorry. Was I yelling?
Clearly you're not familiar with my blog. Are you not aware of what your dating service did to me?
To be fair, I guess it really wasn't you. You were the conduit but not really the reason that I had to wear the sad grape bridesmaid dress, that I accidentally slept with a married guy (with kids!) after the reception, that I lost my best friend of ten years. I can't blame all that on you.
Or can I?
I shouldn't. But I do. A little bit.
Love,
Red

Dear eHarmony,
Your inability to hear me is somehow appropriate. Best wishes for continued success.
Love,

"It only takes one" indeed. Apparently that "one" is not among the 314 men already put to rest in my "Closed matches" list.
Glad to hear you're holding your ground, I guess. I actually DID get sucked in by their "Absolute lowest rate ever!" email a few months ago, as you know.
My question for you is this: is Match really any less frustrating? I am unconvinced but curious.
Oh the whole meMarmony story makes me said all over again.
Wow. I hadn't read your previous entry about your best friend. That was touching and so sad. I've been through something like that with a friend (though it had nothing to do w/ eharm).
Eharm has also tried to suck me in with those emails. I've been on too many horrible dates to sign up again. I think I'm giving up:-) Forever to be the Single Jen!
Stefanie, well, it hasn't worked yet, but I like that there seems to be a little less drama than with eHarmony. You can start talking to someone right away instead of having to answer lots of questions and build up to "open communication." Also, it's cheaper and everyone and their (single) brother seems to be on it.
-r-, aw, sorry.
Single Jen, I highly doubt that! Dating is rough. I have a new approach that I'm trying out though, which I'll blog about shortly. :)
I was just wondering the other day as I watched yet another MeMarmony commercial for about the 247th time on the same freaking channel... "Hmm. Are they having troubles soliciting business??"
Guess so.
I remember actually cutting and pasting this line in an email to Single Jen at the time she was going thru that w/ our friend!
"Email confrontations are ugly and childish at worst and unproductive at best; I don't recommend them unless you're fairly certain that you want that to be your last interaction."
I SOOO agree w/ you.
I don't get solicited by online dating services. They know better. I would ruin their reputation.
Married Jen - right on, you really nailed it. Email confrontations are the worst.
… Unbelievable , but I just found software which can do all hard work promoting your thecupcaketent.blogspot.com website on complete autopilot - building backlinks and getting your website on top of Google and other search engines 1st pages, so your site finally can get laser targeted qualified traffic, and so you can get lot more visitors for your website.
YEP, that’s right, there’s this little known website which shows you how to get to the top 10 of Google and other search engines guaranteed.
I used it and in just 7 days… got floods of traffic to my site...
…Well check out the incredible results for yourself -

I’m not trying to be rude here, but I believe when you find something that finally works you should share it…
…so that’s what I’m doing today, sharing it with you:

Take care - your friend George
