Ok, apart from the obvious search for a signifiant other in your life, how happy are you with where you are in life


When I was doing my profile, I was tempted to put that I was happy where I was in my life under the thankful section, but figured that wasn't interesting enough. But really, I am pretty happy. I have no debt or loans, I have a job still that I think is pretty good. I get paid just enough. And so on ...


Really if I don't end up with anyone after my subscription is up, I won't be moaning and groaning about it. I guess I'm just curious if there are others who are just doing this for fun and generally are happy being single and with the other parts of their lives??

Personally I think to be an asset as a couple that you have to be happy with yourself. No one is going to make a person happy with every thing they do and to put this pressure on another person is a recipe for disaster.


I don't see being a member of eharmony as something for "fun" but as another means to find someone special. Some people find someone here and some don't...but the chance is there.


For me, I like being single most of the time but there are certain things that are more fun as a couple. It's important to me just to be happy with where I am...including whoever is in my life at the time. Circumstances and people change but it is nice to enjoy the blessings. Finding someone special would be an additional blessing that would indeed be another reason to be happy.

Why in the name of God would you be happy with that? That's like being happy that you got beat Rodney King style!


The only way you could be happy going your entire life without finding someone would be if you were in denial.

I'm 'happy' with my life...


ButI knowI could be much 'happier' with someone to share it with.


'Nuff said!

I'm a lot happier now. I'm fairly sure, without the presence (support, attraction, consideration, whatever) of the significant other, I would have lacked the courage to make the changes I am making now. I would still be trying to work hard enough to make everything okay again, and that obviously wasn't working. I'm not REAL happy with what that says about me.


and to echo above..sure, I can live by myself, support myself. But a glass of wine tastes better if there is someone to share it with. A sunset is just as pretty by yourself, but commenting on the colors to a companion makes it more intense.

I'll be the downer here, and say No. I'm not really happy with my life. There are a lot of improvments I need to work on with myself. These last two years have been really hard since my divorce.
