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.
Yes, they would match credit card names. So you could get back on, but you'd have to use a friend's credit card to do so.

If someone doesn't reply, are they still around? What happened? Are they still alive? It's only reasonable for someone to contact them and ask, what happened? That is not harassment.


A lot of women have this problem: They can't be upfront and say "this isn't a good fit, but thanks". They play games, duck and hide. They even act this way with other women, as far as not being assertive.

Most people don't use their real names on dating profiles.

If a women is not responding then the guy is supposed to take the hint and move on.

What alternate universe is this where some woman "flakes" when they haven't met in real life? Step away from the keyboard and go meet people in real life.

I agree, and personally, if someone doesn't respond I don't talk to them anymore.


But some people can't take those so-called "hints". They aren't able to play guessing games. Not everyone understands this. Is it really that hard for the woman to say "it's been nice talking to you, but I'm not interested." Especially through email. This woman was a passive-aggressive idiot.


Also, some people with Asberger's and other forms of autism don't understand games that neuro-typical people play.


But anyway, yes, OP, you can borrow a friend's credit card, get a new screen name/photo, even a different ISP if necessary, and go back on match.com and try again. Don't let them banning you, affect your chances to use the site.

Actually when I was banned from OKCupid I just used a different credit card and different photo and was able to get back on with no problem.

Getting a new ISP is easy peasy, too.


Although I've never been banned from a dating site, I can imagine it happens quite often.


Anyway, a person dates as his/her own risk. And no dating site can minimize someone's risks in the dating world.

This reminds me of some girl that works with my fiance. And this is the reason that I say not to get attached or treat those you met online dating, like they're your girlfriend/boyfriend already. ESPECIALLY when you've yet to meet them in person/go on a date. Too many people stick to ''Talking to one person at a time'', they start texting, talking on the phone, never even setting a date, then they wind up having a phoneship and never even meeting the person in real life. And before you know it, they wind up talking the other out of liking them, if not both of them talking each other out of liking them. And it especially happens when they don't live quite near each other, to the point where they can hop in the car and see the person relatively quickly.

This girl she works with, was ''Talking'' to this guy for weeks. He would like all of her posts on Facebook, she would do the same. They'd make lame updates about how they were ''Thinking about her'' or ''Him'' and then replying back to each other in the comments. They had been doing this for 2 or 3 weeks, never got around to meeting each other, now it's apparent that one of them has talked the other out of liking them, if they haven't both talked each other out of liking the other.

And all the while, she rejected some other guy because she was ''Talking to somebody'' who she never even met and this guy really liked her. In the meantime, he's been talking to a few other girls, and she tried giving him a chance, but it's too late now.

Quit focusing on girlfriends. Get a social network together - friends of all types. Stop with the obsessing over "gotta get a girl - gotta get a girl". There's a whole world out there - IN THE WORLD - not in the screen. Go LIVE it.
