Girl, I had more success on the free dating sites anyway. I joined Match once on a free trial, the same people were there as on the free site.
I met my guy on OkCupid, I liked their screening tools, they seemed to work well for me.
But don't get discouraged. Every date gives you more information on what works for you and what doesn't. Tall Dark and Handsome has his quirks and drawbacks, I'm not sure I would have been able to appreciate him properly if not for the contrast with the other guys I dated. By the time he came along I was wise enough to value his strengths and to realize that I really didn't need the things that he doesn't bring to the table.
For instance - I'm a geeky intellectual and TDH is not. He's very smart, don't get me wrong, but less formal education and his intelligence is really people-oriented. I would have thought, in years past, that I needed that geeky intellectual stimulation - but actually, I have plenty of friends and family who fill that role. Meanwhile, TDH understands everything that's going on with me emotionally, even when I don't, and loves me unconditionally and without reservation, unlike the many Love Avoidant guys I dated. And he's similar to me in that he has a generally sunny disposition and lives his life with gratitude. I value these things much more now than when I was younger.
Just keep going on coffee dates. The internet is just a way to get to a brief coffee date. The coffee date is really the meet and greet where you can see if you're interested enough for a real date.
