Hi folks. I joined match.com about 1 month ago to find love. I'm not one of those to go online and play games. Anyway I was talking to this one girl and soon she flaked. I didn't get abusive or disrespectful at all. Just really probing as to why she flaked because I wanted to understand. Well I guess all that questioning to her seemed weird and I guess she reported me to match.com for harassment. They closed my account.
I'm in a new city, no friends, no connections. I'm trying to find a gf. Match was a great way to get dates. It was working. But now I'm banned. Now what?
I've tried pof, okc, eharmony and even tinder. But I can safely conclude that match had the best quality of women and I got way more responses on match than the others combined. In fact, with match I could almost get 1-2 dates a week. Now I have none. On the other websites, I've been reduced to tears! On match, I could confidently message 10 and get 2 decent responses that led to dates.
Please suggest how I can get back on match. The morning they banned me I used another email to create a new account, but I used my same credit card. None of my 3 credit cards work now.
Will it work if I use a friend's credit card and new email? How do you think they are blocking people and recognizing if I would create a new account? Do they block by photos? Most likely it has to be by matching credit card names and running a query through a banned people database in their system.
If you use a friend's card, you'll have to use the friend's name, too. Even being in another city, using a different computer, they could still find you. They must have a really good security system, to catch creeps and scammers. I don't see any way around this one, you'll have to find another site.

Name doesn't matter because no one sees it until you start messaging people. So yeah it could be my friends' name on it, makes no difference.
OP, I don't know what you can do. Perhaps wait a month and try again. They shouldn't keep credit card info on file.
Ruth, I question their security. I'm on a sister site of Match and I swear it's where stolen credit cards go to die. There are so many scammers and spam bots on there, its scary!
If you weren't harassing her, can't you follow up with Match?
Those guys are very arrogant. I've looked into it and the issue is that they cater mainly to women because they want to satisfy women and guarantee that they have a safe and pleasant experience. That will keep the men around (aka more members). Anyway, I did send an email saying I made a mistake and really want this chance to find love. Haven't heard back. I've read that these pleas go on deaf ears. I still tried.
I'm now planning to wait 2 weeks and then use a friends' card to sign up.
You should show more sensitivity, and stop it as soon she flaked. She felt uncomfortable with your inquiry, and reported you.
Don't push when rejected, just learn from it and move on.
To create new account you could:
clean all cookies, get new browser, then use WiFi from a public place (Starbucks, library etc), use new email address, new credit card, new pictures, new ID.
Match takes harassment very seriously. NO ONE wants to be subjected to such behavior - guy OR gal. Don't ever try to continue a conversation once someone makes it clear that they are not interested. Consider it a lesson learned.
