eDarling = eDief

eDarling = eDief

I am an English guy recently moved to The Netherlands. I saw the adverts for eDarling and signed up to meet new people.
It was not cheap!

One lady I was chatting with (we were now chatting via Skype) told me that eDarling had been sending messages to anybody that I had contacted saying that I had "inappropriate behavior".
If she tried to send a message to me it was blocked, but she got a delivery message.
If I tried to send a message, it never arrived (blocked too), but I got a delivery message.

I never received any warning from eHarmony, nor any explanation as to what my "inappropriate behavior" was. But I did get a reminder to pay my subscription.

eDarling was happy to take my money, but not let me send or receive any messages, or tell me that they were blocking all contact with other members.

If you are a foreigner living in NL. The site does not accept any profile fields not entered in Dutch. When I tried calling the help line, (to ask why my messages were being blocked) the guy refused to speak English even though he understood English perfectly well. I could ask questions in English, but he would only reply in Dutch.

Sterke punten
Nice idea.
No fake profiles or spammers (to my knowledge).

Zwakke punten
Expensive.

Everything must be in Dutch (but I understand that this is not a problem for Dutch people - only us "buitenlanders" in The Netherlands)

No warning if your profile is blocked, no explanation why your profile is blocked.

They will take your money even when your profile is blocked.
