You must have "free meal" written on your forehead or have not sufficiently screened your matches.

I would say that you've been a bit unlucky in your dating lately which happens to everyone from time to time.

The other thing would that would help is to invest a little less in your match until you get to know them better. Meaning meet them in person sooner rather than later and don't be affraid to ask about previous relationship history, etc. I'm not saying asking about details of their ex, but rather ask them a more neutral question like last time they were in a serious relationship, any previous divorces, etc. That will give you at least some idea whether you can plunge right on or should proceed with a little more caution and see how things pan out.

it isn't you. You are fine. You have just met two woman that shouldn't have been on this site. I have met(only on the computer) two men who shouldn't have been dating eaither. I am two months on this site and have yet to meet a live person. I keep telling myself it isn't me. So join the band wagon. We will all shout it out..

First of all I am actually pleased with eharmony and the woman I have met and enjoyed the company of! I agree if there isn't a connection between both parties after the first or second dates both people should move on! Plus I prefer this to anyone my family or friends have set me up with!

Here's my issue....at this point! I become a paid member in April 09, and within a week after emailing four woman one woman and decide to meet. She reveals she broke up with her fiance and still has feelings for him! She goes back to him after another date and a lot of time spent on the phone!

In June I connect with a woman and really think...feel we have a connection. She tells me she is three and a half months from being divorced under California's civil code and understands if I want to move on! She seemed from email and phone conversations to be emotionally positive she wanted to date! For three weeks until 5 July everything was going great, and she tells me she's feeling like she's not ready for a relationship! She tells me she'll contact me after her divorce is final! Two days later she introduces me to her 22 month old son and sister! She is talking about our future! Two days ago...she took her husband back!!!!!!!!!!!

What am I doing???? Is it me! Did I unfortuantely meet and connect with two women who probably shouldn't have been on eharmony?? Maybe something more adult and short term for them??? I waited 8 months after my divorce and made sure my daughter adjusted. I thought I was ready and wanted to find a special woman, but this is throwing me off! I was in a relationship with my ex-wife for 7 years...so to say I'm out of practice is somewhat true, but I can communicate with almost anyone!

Any advice or guidance is appreciated! Thank you.
I would steer clear of anyone who is fresh out of a relationship. Especially when a divorce isn't finalized! You are really playing Russian Roulette to get involved with someone like that. They haven't had time to heal and they are very unstable emotionally. It is a recipe for hurt and disaster. What if you made it to the altar with one of them and then she flaked on you? Save yourself the pain and avoid anyone who has recently broken up from a serious relationship.
