“Once you have expressed interest in someone who has expressed interest in you, Chemistry.com puts that person in the Active Matches bin.”
“At that point, Chemistry.com asks you to complete a ‘Relationship Essentials’ questionnaire. The questionnaire asks you to identify the importance levels of certain criteria, which is then sent off to the interestee. The interestee responds in kind. Then, you do it all over again with an extended list. Sort of a ‘Relationship Essentials Lite,’ and then a ‘Relationship Essentials Deluxe.’ Chemistry.com sends you a report indicating relative matching on each item. At any point in the this back-and-forth (which is what it feels like), you can say click the ‘Not Interested’ button.”
“I love the ‘Not Interested’ button. It’s like a friendly reminder that at any time you can bail. Hmmm. Maybe I need to think about what makes me like that feature so much.”
So goes Part V of the series of reports* my comely and anonymous single female reporter about Chemistry.com, a premium property of Match.com.

*Editor’s Note: I, Chris Abraham, am underwriting the Chemistry.com subscription fee for my lovely and anonymous female friend for blog fodder. I really want to see what the experience is for a woman on a dating site. And I am betting you might want to experience it right along with me. This will be a continuing series following my cute and available friend through her Chemistry.com experiences at almost real time. Enjoy!
