(Online Dating Industry Journal) Offline dating services The Right One and Together Dating have found a way to create a hybrid between their dating services and online dating through the creation of eLove.com.
Online Dating Magazine has published an article on eLove's new service which forces new members to meet eLove staff in person before approving profiles for their online dating service. The service one-ups True.com in not only requiring background checks, but also in verifying information in person.
From the article:
Potential eLove members meet in-person at a local eLove office with an experienced consultant who first screens them to qualify for membership. This provides the security and face-to-face authentication that eLove claims is lacking in current online singles services. eLove also promises that their online dating service will be free of pop-ups or any other form of "annoying advertising". Video and audio clips members can ad to their profile are taped on eLove premises. All additional photos are authenticated by the company before being uploaded to the membership database."

Joe's Comments
This will be very interesting to watch. If I lived close to an eLove office and the price was right, I'd participate in this type of service in a heartbeat. I imagine that they'll have a strong success rate (if they can keep a good ratio of men to women) because of the effort people go through in order to participate. They'll tend to be more "serious" about the process.
elove.com (Empire Intro Inc) claims to be dating service company and claims to provide a wide variety of like minded potential partners that meet your search criteria.
Since the day of the subscription which was about a one month the company has not been able to provide me any members from their database that match my search criteria. They hardly have any members in their database and I was mislead during the initial meeting that I will not have any problem running out of the selection choices.
After being patient for several weeks since I could not find any member, I was forced to widen my choices to literally having no preferences even that did not result into more than 30-35 members. I have reached out to them several times for refund since thier database do not have any members available that match my criteria. But the compnay refuses to return my $1995.00 fee that they charged me.
The company is cheating people by making claims that they have a wide list of members but in fact they have very few members or no members available for a wide search criteris.
Please assist me on this front so that I get my refund and the vendor does not use the same ploy to cheat other people in future
