Joined eHarmony...

Haven't posted in this area of the forum for a long, long time so I thought this might be appropriate here. :)

I joined eHarmony for a month. Any suggestions, ideas, thoughts? I'm not going to renew...too expensive but I thought I'd give it a month just to see.

Give it a couple of months. If I hadn't found Brandi (what am I talking about she found me!) I probably would never have married. You got nothing to lose but money and you would spend it on something else anyway. Might as well join the rest of us and find that special someone that will keep you company in your old age. Besides you need to find out if the surgery worked. :rofl2

I was paranoid about the surgery so after the doctor did two tests, two weeks apart, I waited about three months, then bought a home test. I did the two tests that came in the kit, three weeks apart, both definately came out negative. :banana :spin

I'll give it one month. I can think of many things to spend $50 on than a on-line dating service. $50 is a lot of money to me. I've been on eHarmony for a few days now and so far only one match. I've got a difficult personality to match up to, I guess. That one has not posted a picture, either.

A friend of mine went through eHarmony a while back and most of the women that wanted to meet him were...ummm...extremely overweight. The one's that he did meet were freaks until right before his month ran out (he got lucky he was only going to try it for a month). He met someone he's now moving in with. That being said, he had a lot of matches to his personality. That means that most likely, I'm going to have to sort through the psyco's before I find the right one. At this rate it will take a year's membership...no way, jose!

I did the trial test thing and it didn't find one single person to match me with.

Thanks a lot for nothing, eharmony.

Your best bet to meet a partner is to go out to bars / restaurants and just socialize your behind off! :heartbeat :spin :thumb

That seems to be the way it's going for me. I have a difficult personality to match up.

I did get one match but she never replied. I also did not think, after reading her profile and paying just to find out she did not have a pic posted, I was really interested. I closed that one. Once you close it, it's closed permenantly.

Now I sit on $50 and no matches. Could be worse. This week I'm helping with a training program for teachers and, in one of the two classes, there are several teachers not wearing rings.

Of course, with my inability to socialize, nothing will happen but I can dream... :spin

hahahahahaaha... when we talked about your last gf or lack of i tolded you to join it and you said "no" and u have.....

im am the leet

[sherretz]

Really, you just have to talk to them. Given the stressful job that teachers have, a great icebreaker would be to ask them about vacations they've taken or ones they would like to take. Then you can always go from there.

[Artcwolf]

The months time is almost up and I've had a whole total of four matches, one I closed immediately and none of the other three responded.

After paying my bills (believe me, no car payment, efficency apartment, minimum bills) I had a whole $50 left over (oh, I did purchase a pair of New Balance running shoes, which were a necessity). I get paid monthly (this is why I fix home computers on the side) so that $50 has to last me a month, gas and all.

So, if I had not joined eHarmony, I'd have $100 and no date which is better than $50 and no date. :banghead

Dude! You live in or near Dallas!! OMG theres more single women there than you can count! My GF HATES it when I go up there! :lmao
It is kinda expensive to date there though isnt it. Dallas is all about going out! I'm glad I'm in Austin! We're all about going to the lake and stuff here! Good luck to you :)

Truthfully, I would only use blinddate services like yahoo "looking for love ads" my friends over 18 have used these many times, one is now in a serious relationship with a girl he plans to marry in a year or two. Just try that. :thumb eHarmony doesn't work for anyone I know. :Nope

[WazLady73]

Maybe you could try Yahoo Personals????

My best friend used that and got a ton of responses. She hit a few frogs along the way till she did find Mr. Right. I think to respond to an ad someone has to be a paying member....don't quote me I haven't gone there...I did to see her posting and that was it.

Also, her sister used Match.com. Found a few guys on there also...again...she did find Mr. Right.

No marriages yet in those matches...so the saga goes on...

Most people in the personals are not looking for Mr. or Ms. Right they are looking for Mr. or Ms. Rightnow.

True or they are in desperate need of a shrink.

I think Match.com is using a personality profile similar to eHarmony now. I can't check...I'm at work but that is what I heard.

That is true...

So far no marriages from the 2 sisters. I will keep you posted.

Like I said, one had to kiss a few toads till she found someone she enjoy's being with.

But doesn't hurt to try Artcwolf....some people may only go to on or another personal website....

[WazLady73]

Also, put your picture up on the personal websites...you will get more hits and more interest if you have a picture up.....

I put a pic up at eHarmony but for them to view it, they have to have a pic posted. I think that is fair.

Its just my mentality, lack of confidence, and lack of self-esteem. Nothing several thousand dollars worth of therapy wouldn't cure. I've come to the conclusion that the only date I will get is if it's inflatable.

Well I've finally found a girl, like always it happens when you least expect it. We had just got back from a car meet and met her at a Tapioca Express of all places, just started talking and that was it.

Good luck Artcwolf - you'll find someone, just give it time, if I found a girl, you'll definetly find one.

[Tracer]

Congrats :) ...you are right....I met my GF at the grocery store LOL

[Artcwolf]

Spending $50 on eHarmony, priceless (not really, but it sounded funny). :smash
