A lawyer who is in the process of getting a divorce, but who is still married, has said he will sue the matchmaking service, e-Harmony. Reuters reported the story yesterday.
John Claassen, a 36-year-old lawyer, said he was ready to resume dating but maintains that Pasadena, California-based agency eHarmony is violating his civil rights by not letting him use its service before his divorce is official.
The Oakland, California-based lawyer said he is asking a state judge to end eHarmony's policy of only admitting unmarried people to its dating service. "There are a lot of people out there in my situation who would like to move on but under these policies can't," Claassen said.
The company, which advertises it is "dedicated to helping serious singles build lasting relationships," did not return calls for comment.
How many different ways are there to say "SELFISH"? Gee-whiz!
Is e-Harmony the only dating service in the entire world? What about match-dot-com? Huh? There's gotta be find-me-a-date.com or im-still-married-but-lets-go-out-anyway.com or almost-single.com that this guy can go to. "...would like to move on but under these policies can't." Give me a break.
And how fair would it be to the single women at e-Harmony who are looking for a marriageable man, to have still-married men trying to hook up with them? The guy is so self-absorbed it's repulsive.
I betcha, if e-Harmony let this guy get in, that after he took the personality profile, it would tell him he's not emotionally healthy enough to be a good match to anyone.
I hope the court throws out the case and orders this still-married lawyer to pay e-Harmony's legal costs.

Heaven forbid the man have to wait a little longer to find his "match". I hope he finds someone just like himself...
Christina,
You said it! There's nothing quite like poetic justice.
