eLove

I whole heartedly recommend Elove. The serious should include Elove in their search strategy

Hi. I whole heartedly recommend Elove and believe that everyone who is serious about finding that special someone should include Elove in their search strategy.

I am a mid. 50's semi retired attorney with a heart condition, but I look marvelous, am a divorced man with young kids, loved being married and I wanted to get into another meaningful relationship with a woman in her late 40?s who longed to participate in a respectful loving stepmother roll. I knew I would be a hard fit, plus I am picky, so to accomplish this I joined the internet dating cites Plenty Of Fish with upgrade, Match, Eharmony, Chemistry and the matchmaking service Elove. I meet the second love of my life through Elove. This review only regards Elove.

Elove is expensive because you have people, rather than some computer, matching you (and verifying your information) but it is worth it. The Elove matchmakers really get to know you and all of their members in the ? Elove Club?. After each date my Elove matchmaker would call me, if I did not call her first, and quiz me on the date experience including what we did and what I thought of my date. The Elove matchmaker is always learning about what you like from your take on your date and what you are like from your dates take on you. If you are a jerk, it will soon become evident to the Elove matchmakers.

When going though the dating process, which I focused on enjoying (and did), I felt that keeping my spirits up and having a good mental attitude was critical. I did not want to feel desperate and settle because I felt lonely or was in a bad dating patch. I had dates with some excellent women and some not, through all of the dating avenues that I joined. However there would be periods where I had no dates at all from any of the internet dating cites. Whenever that happened, I could always depend on Elove to continue to present me with actual dates where I meet and enjoyed the company of quality women. With Elove providing me with a reliable stream of quality dates and the internet cites providing me with other dating opportunities (but more in the way of email flirting, which was also fun), I always felt good about the level of my social life and excited about what each new day would bring.

It is my opinion that finding the love of your life is too important to rely on just one dating vehicle and I paid a respectable amount of money to join the above listed dating avenues. But through it all Elove was the foundation of my actual dating social life. This is a sample of a letter that I wrote to my Elove matchmaker to thank her after I had put my membership on hold. (Yes at Elove you get to put your membership on hold for a year, 18 months or more just in case things that look so rosy at first, fall apart:( We have all been there.)

?I think that you are the best matchmaker. After one misstep match, (which was still a fun date) you truly listened and learned and went out and set me up with quality women who were in the ball park of what I wanted. You encouraged me to be totally honest with you and you used that information to get me the best matches available. You were always a pleasure to work with and you hit a home run with Linda.

Linda is attractive, smart, and sincere, has similar values to me and is very flexible and open. She is a very remarkable woman and over time we have found that we are extremely compatible and have fallen deeper in love. (You certainly got the compatibility part right.) I can not imagine why I would ever want to stop seeing her and I can not imagine any set of circumstances were I would ever feel good if she stopped seeing me.?

A neighbor who is doing the internet dating cites and getting alittle frustrated and depressed asked me how I meet such a lovely woman. I told her and now I told you.

Good luck in your search!

Sincerely Al:)

Pros
Actual dates.

Pleasant and caring matchmakers who work with you and get to know you and what you like in a match by what you said and by what your date said.

The information of your match has been verified and told to you.

You get to give feedback to your matchmaker about your match after each first date and that information is used to help iselecting your next match.

Cons
You do not get to select your match from a picture.

You really never know how many potential matches are in the club, that are matches that you would actually like to date.

Elove is Amazing

I found the love of my life with Elove! Their attention to detail and the matchmakers are amazing. Do yourself a favor and stop wasting time on the internet and let these incredible matchmakers do the work for you. Thank you for introducing me to a great man!

Pros
Quality introductions

Cons
None

Not as bad as these reviews list

While I have not found "Love" yet, I have met many quality ladies. Yes, there are a few miss-fires, but far less than other sites I have tried. I think part of the key here is to be kind to the ladies you go out with. Be a gentleman. Hold the door and stand till they sit. Really...go old school. When your date reports back as to how nice you are, your matchmaker is more likely to work a bit harder for you. That has been my experience to this point.

Pros
Very good matchmaker. Donny seems to go the extra mile.

Cons
Some of the ladies are not quite what I was looking for, but then eLove has been learning my preferences.

Thank,s Elove

I deposited $5000.00 with Elove, when elove was unable to find the women of my dreams Elove returned the total amount, thank,s to Elove.

eLove is working well for me

I signed on as a client with eLove and Cupid's Coach in December of 2011 and it's been a very positive experience -- I've met three men thus far and they've all been appropriate introductions. I've had second dates with two of them and one I've got a third date scheduled for this coming weekend with the one who's my favorite.

Pros
Professional, service oriented matchmakers and dating coaches, responsive, caring, sincere. They're good people.

Cons
None really. It's not inexpensive to hire a matchmaker, but it's so much more effective than online dating, which to me was far too random.

Married at last, Huge thanks to my personal matchmaker at elove

It was a long journey and after 9 introductions and 2 years I finally married my dream guy that I found through elove. Not all were dreams, mostly nightmares as I just couldn't find mister right in the first year. Year 2 was a blessing - meeting my husband about a year ago and tying the not last weekend. Just got back from my honeymoon in PR and wanted to say special thanks to elove for fulfilling my dream.

Pros
Im married what else can I say

Cons
Wish it took less time to finally find my man!

I've never been happier.

After nine months and three dates, I found the love of my life. He is just like the picture I painted for my relationship specialist. It was almost like I placed my order with her and she found him. This company helped me cut through all the jerks and cheaters. Although the first two men were not "the one", they were all very professional, successful, down-to-earth men who were in the same stage of life as I am. They all had common goals and likes. I regret not joining their program sooner.

Pros
Got to speak one-on-one with a professional matchmaker. She really got to know me and my wants and needs and then used that knowledge to find men who were compatible for me. The process was fascinating.
AND the safety! Background checks and meeting everyone personally.
AND getting to approve my matches first. That way it wasn't like a blind date. I knew what they looked like and a little about them before agreeing to meet them.

Cons
Absolutely none.

elove to the rescue. Happy Again!

Over 2 years ago my wife and I of 15 years have split up and after trying many online dating sites to start over again (they all failed) I decided to hire a personal matchmaker on my quest for a new beginning. I tried Its Just Lunch but was getting introduced to girls not interested in me. Then I saw elove matchmaking and decided to give them a shot. After working with the elove reps and giving them every possible detail of what I was really looking for they finally introduced me to someone that I hit it off with big time. Hopefully this will last for a while.

Pros
Love speaking with real people to help me find me a compatible mate.

Cons
Not sure yet - I guess if it doesnt work out Ill have one

Thanks to Elove.com - I got ENGAGED on V-Day!!

Just wanted to say I am so thankful to elove matchmaking for finding me my true love. It was a long 2 year journey and 8 different guys they matched me with. Finally the 8th one is going to be my keeper as he gave me a ring on valentines day and ask me to marry him! Im so excited! :)

Pros
Got to work one on one with a real person to finally find my perfect match! Even though the first 7 ended up no where they were all sincere and I felt very safe knowing they all had criminal background checks.

Cons
TOOK 2 years to find him!! But It was worth the wait. Was a little bit pricey (cost was a few thousand dollars) but I was spending over $100 a month on 2 different online sites that got me zero results.

I will not be alone this year on Valentines Day! TY elove matchmaking

So excited about my plans tomorrow night with a guy I met through elove. This will be our third date in the last two weeks which means a lot cause out of the 4 guys that elove has introduced me to not one made it passed the 2nd date. I finally stopped relying on the online dating sites and love the fact that elove does background checks on all members. :)

Pros
Safety! Safety! Safety! To many creeps out there and I dont trust anyone. I wish all my dates before elove could have been pre-screened!

Cons
The nearest office was 40 miles from me but only had to do that once

Finally Happy That Valentines Day Is Here!

I joined elove matchmaking just about a year ago and though I was getting introduced to a lot of women with the same interests as me none of them really stuck -- finally after my 7th introduction I have met someone that I can finally spend valentines day with - hopefully this will be the first of many V-days with her!

Pros
Got to work one on one with a real person instead of viewing tons of profiles online.

Cons
Much more expensive than online dating - but the fact that they meet every member in person and do background checks made me feel a lot more comfortable of who I was going out with.

eLove - Worked for me!

Thank you to all the eLove matchmakers for introducing me to the love of my life.
I joined the Rhode Island office and was introduced to a beautiful woman from Connecticut; we?ll be married in Newport this summer.

She was the fifth woman you set me up with and I knew after the first date we would be together for life. The only question was? did she feel the same about me? She didn?t fall for me as fast as I fell for her but she finally realized I was the one for her.

Thank you again for all the advice and encouragement you gave me throughout the membership? you changed my life.

Tom
Newport, RI

Pros
The staff was very friendly and helpful...

Cons
Be patient it may take some time?

I felt the same way.

My first couple matches were ok...but on the 6th match I met the one. Luckily for her iIwas her first match. The process does work, and just like most of these reviews I felt a little cheated and I wanted to cancel after my 2nd match. My matchmaker and the young lady that interviewed me reassured me that I needed to give it some time, and i did. I almost lost all hope but im glad i didnt. I guess there is a reason why they have so many introduction in the package and it's meant to use them. Im glad I did. I felt I needed to give a shout out to them, because they did provide the service and hopefully I will be married and living happily ever after with Karen.

Pros
MY matchmaker and consultant were very responsive.
Real woman...who want more then just my bank account.
I met a wonderful woman who can happily say she is like my best friend.

Cons
It takes time and can be discouraging
no pictures
pricey but well worth it (of course this feeling is only after I met karen)

Works well, having fun!

I am really enjoying my experience at eLove. The staff is fun and energetic. I am trusting of the process and that seems to be the right way to use it. Of course there have been some people that were not a 'perfect fit' but my feedback has helped. They have introduced me to the type of men I never would have selected for myself and it has been an adventure.

I have made a lot of great friends and got really close to a man and we are still seeing one another. Cross your fingers!

If everyone were patient and open to the process, I genuinly believe that this could work for most anyone.

Pros
Great staff
Background check
Fun!

eLove is working well for me

I'm having a very good experience as an eLove client -- I'm 46, an attractive, well educated management consultant with two kids, living in Los Angeles and I wanted to find a better way to meet some good, quality men. I've had six introductions thus far, and they've all been good, appropriate introductions. Three of them I've seen a second time, and the most recent of them is a really good fit for me, we have a third date scheduled for this coming weekend. The matchmakers have been very responsive, they're on top of things, and they're good, hard-working people. I give them 5 stars.

Pros
Caring, responsive staff
good quality men in the database

Worked for me!!

On the recommendation of a friend I joined the Boston office in the Summer of 2010. My matchmaker Brenan introduced me to three women... two dates were ok (no chemistry)... the third date was fantastic. Michelle and I have been seeing each other for almost a year and are very happy. She may be the ONE? Great service?

Pros
I liked working with a matchmaker.

Cons
Whish they would have introduced me to Michelle on the first referral....

The Investment was worth it for me

I purchased the standard $3995 membership package and my only regeret is that I didn't join sooner. I met my wife after 6 introductions and I would have paid $25,000 if I new they were going to introduce me to her.....heck i would have paid way more than that if I had the money. When I realized how much time I was spending on Match.com and eharmony.com and how much I was spending going out to clubs on the weekends it averaged out to be 10 Hours a week and about $2500 a year........ And I was doing that for 3 to 4 years.

The service works for some and not for others but if you are realistic about what you are looking for and are serious about getting into a committed relationship Elove can get the job done!!!!!

It works!

After 3 unsuccessful matches, I was about to give up on my search. The 4th one was a charm! When we spoke for the first time on the phone, it was a 2 hour call. We discovered that we have many things in common (family, values, background). The matchmakers did a great job listening to what we both were looking for. My family, (who can be a tough crowd) love him and he fits in great. We both agree that we would have never met had it not been for e-love.

Pros
attentive and professional matchmakers

Worked for me!

I joined eLove last year (Boston). I?ve had a few good dates, some bad dates and one amazing date that has yet to end. I think it took awhile for the matchmakers to really get to know me and what I was looking for (I don?t think I knew exactly what I was looking for when I joined?). I?m happy I listened to my matchmaker and met the women she recommended.

Pros
Members are serious about meeting each other.

Cons
No pictures (but the matchmakers have pictures of all the members and have a good idea of who you?ll be attracted to?).

A great way for adults to meet one another

Finding the right person isn't easy and if you're reading these reviews, chances are it's even harder for you than, say, most of your married friends.
I've been with E-Love for three months now. I have had several dates with some very nice men.
Have I found Mr. Right? Not yet. But I do believe that folks at e-Love are doing a conscientious job of introducing me to people that have the potential to be great matches for me. Every staff person there has been willing to spend as much time with me as I need- whether it's just getting to know me, or discussing men that they have matched me with, or discussing ways to improve the fit with my future matches.
They have been great to work with and I feel like my matchmaker 'gets' me.

So, is this service right for everyone? Obviously not. E-Love not your fairy god-mother. They don't wave a magic wand and suddenly your prince appears. It surprises me that so many adults honestly seem to think that you can just buy Mr. (or Mrs. Right) for a couple a' grand.
It doesn't work that way. You will still meet people who misrepresent themselves or just wish they were someone they're not, no different other kind of dating. You will still meet people who sound great on paper, but just don't have the chemistry you want. You will meet people who themselves aren't sure what they're looking for.

But, if you're an adult and would like to meet other single adults, this is a great service. It's really nice having them take care of the bottom line stuff: Is he unemployed or married? Does he share any of my interests? E-love let's me focus on the chemistry and the lifestyle and that, to me is the fun part of dating!

Pros
They screen and interview potential dates for you and are responsive to your feedback about how each match worked out.

Cons
Yes, it's expensive. But at least you know the people you are matched with take it as seriously as you do.

I'm happy

I have been with the company for 4 months now, I joined in the Falls Church location, and my experience has been nothing but professional. On my initial interview I had explained to them that I have a young daughter and I really need to meet a guy that atleast has children or wants children, as well as educated and financially stable.

As we speak, I am on hold with my 3rd match, and I am happy as ever.

I understand that this may be a brutal process for others, but I believe if you at least keep an open mind, and if you have concerns and the member services team is not contacting you back, call the office that enrolled you.

I really got nervous after my 2nd match...there was no chemistry at all, and I walked into the office that I intially enrolled in, and the lady enrolled me was there, I sat down with her, and I told her my concern, and we both went over my expectations and needs and she as well as I contacted the service department, and my wish came true...my next match was fantastic.

I'm not sure if the same area's that are complaining have the same wonderful staff that I had to deal with, but instead of complaining about your matches on here, I think you should talk to the person who enrolled you, and see if that makes a difference!!!

Pros
back ground screening
personal interviews
member services team that actually have a phone number rather then just an email address.
Quality

Cons
First few matches may be duds
but keep an open mind, and dont let your negativity get the best of you!!!
