My Experience with Internet Dating-The Men on EHarmony

From all the advertising I heard regarding eHarmony, I thought this is the one. Was I wrong. By the time I got to trying eHarmony I was so frustrated with internet dating services. I had already tried most of the well know dating websites. I was very open with the profiles I posted, and what I was looking for in a man, and a relationship. Although, I have a master's degree, I was very much open to all educational levels, professions, and income levels. I just wanted a nice man. By the age of 50, I had been through many trials and tribulations over the years, including 2 marriages, and 2 engagements, to "The Wrong Men". I admit it, I made bad choices. But now, after years of counseling, and studying seven years in college to be a counselor, I was ready to make a "Good" choice for myself. I knew what to look for, and I was ready to go.

I remember being so excited when I went to the eHarmony website. I took the tour, and actually read everything. How many people do that? I was ready to take the "Scientific Relationship Questionnaire", which helps you to see what type of relationships are good for you, and really make you aware of what your looking for. Then I got to move on to the "In Depth Personality Profile", a free ($40) value. It was long, but very thorough. I was really impressed. I couldn't wait to get started.

After becoming a member you start receiving "Highly Compatible Matches", which you get to accept, or reject. If you choose a match, and they choose you, you then start to communicate. There's these great 'Must Haves" and "Can't Stands" questions you can send each other, to find out more about what your match must have in a relationship, or person, and the things they can't stand in a person or relationship. I thought it was a great idea. After all, why even bother communicating if some of those must haves and can't stands are incompatible. Again I am impressed with eHarmony.
