So the eHarmony adventure has proven to be interesting so far. To date, I have received 39 matches. Of those matches 21 have been closed. (For the record, of the closed matches, I only actually closed two of them.) Of the 21 closed matches, the majority of them were for reason “Other”.
Now, let’s have a little moment of honesty, shall we? Perhaps we should hold hands and bow heads. Perhaps not. But let’s get real… we all know what “other” means. It means “I looked at your picture and am some dregree of repulsed but I lack the balls to tell you that so I’m going to say other”.
Now, I closed one match for reason “Other”. And I will tell you right now, it had nothing to do with the man’s face. It was because there was no secret option for “You are a biking nut and I don’t even know how to ride one. That is going to be a giant problem so I’m just going to get out now before either one of us ever knows the difference.” Yeah… see? Other applied.
On the upshot, I made it through the voodoo matching process with one (count that, ONE out of 39) person and have reached “open communication”. Want to take bets on whether or not we make it to an actual date?
