Elove a total ripoff

Elove a total ripoff

I have had the same experience that SCORES of others are complaining about. I thought I would be easy to match, being in a large urban area, but no. I had 3 dates in 51/2 months, all wildly incompatible. The background check is a joke, the questionaire another joke (one date told me he just made it up.) I "bargained" them down, as do most clients, to $2500 for 12 dates. I was very concerned about re-entering the dating world because I had recently tested positive for Herpes 2 (genital) and was unsure how and when to bring it up. I was advised by my interviewer (Walnut Creek, CA) to not say ANYTHING, EVER. Fortunately, I guess, none of my 3 "matches" called me for a second date. Now elove dodges my phone calls, tries to get me to use my 3 month hold time (which they say they gave me for free but the contract says otherwise. I want nothing to do with them, and I want my money back. I spent ~3 weeks dealing with BBB but they said I had signed a contract and it was binding. I promised elove that I would share my herpes story, so now I am. Seriously, you could find a better match on a city bus.

Pros
You leave the office feeling like life is filled with possibility. Reality comes into play as you wait 3 weeks for your initial match.

Cons
They do nothing that is promised. Incompatible dates, inadequate background checks (one person was living in an SRO going through bancruptcy), 5 week wait for a date, etc. I am 5'3" and wanted to go dancing, so I specified 5'10" or under, and they sent a guy who was 6'3", and then told me I was shallow and unwilling to get to know someone who didn't meet my initial request. Isn't that their job?

HUGE ripoff. You get three days to cancel the contract, but your first date won't happen for weeks after that time. How are you supposed to have buyer's remorse when you don't get to test-drive the car?

I am so disappointed, and this is a lot of $$ for me. Anybody filing a class action suit, I have all my documents from BBB.
