While I’ve clearly come up with some good theories on online dating success, I still suffer from being very selective. Thus, with my latest Match.com subscription, I signed up for 6-months to get the “Make Love Happen” guarantee. It’s simple. If you don’t have a girlfriend by the end of 6-months, you get another 6-months free – which would actually probably feel pretty pathetic :P
There are some restrictions though:
- You have to keep a photo on your profile. Easy.
- You have to keep your profile visible. Also, easy.
- You have to write to at least 5 members a month. Also, simple.
My initial thought is that it’s pretty unlikely for a person to get through the whole thing without slipping up. Even if you don’t find a girlfriend by the end of 6 months, you’re bound to have one or two that you see for about 6-8 weeks, lose interest in Match.com, and thus wind up skipping a month and blowing the whole thing. Well, so far, I’m just starting out on month 4. I’ll keep you updated on my progress (or lack thereof, whichever is which).
