I for one went on eharmony more as a joke than anything else to prove my mother and other people wrong. I was so sure I would not be matched up with a person that would grab my interest or be what I consider the perfect match for me, So to get them to stop bugging me to go on I went on during the free communication weekend on Memorial day.


Well after that weekend ended I kept my profile on to get the different matches and within 4 days I was matched with a person whose profile interested me. So when he requested we communicate I bit the bullet and became a paying member. Well now close to 4 months later I am the one who is having the last laugh. Because sure enough I feel like eharmony has worked their magic. I am now off eharmony and in communications with this match via email and the phone. We met this weekend in real life for the first time.


I am in hopes that this is going to be an eharmony success but we will wait and see. But for someone who was so skeptical and was so sure I would never find anyone and then to get matched up with someone who just really wows me and who I can see that I would want to have in my life makes me such a believer in eharmony. I have been telling people all about eharmony since it is so amazing whenever I think about it I am just in awe of it. Since this match and I would have never met outside of eharmony.


So for all of you who don't believe take it from me I went in as a nonbeliever and now I can't stop talking about how great eharmony is.

Well, I'm happy for you but its bittersweet too...I have had zero, zero, zero interest in me...I'm a "5" guess guys are looking for younger and prettier. I did make contact with a guy that resembled my late husband...got all excited and he closed because "there is no chemistry" so it doubly hurt. Of course, that probably wouldn't have worked out anyway.





Best of luck to you both...glad its working for someone!

Yes at least from my point of view it went fantastic. Hoping from his point it did as well. Since both of us didn't want the time together to end but it needed to end for the day since it was time for me to get home. So now seeing where the next step will take us now that we have met in person once. But we do have some distance in between us which will make getting together a lot tricky and also work as well. But we will still have phones and emails and time to plan our next meet in person. But I am just so amazed and wowed at how truly perfect he seems as a match for me. I never could have imagined finding a person who fits what I was looking for better than him.

I'm in a similar situation. I joined thinking there was no way I would be matched with someone who was right for me; 'lo and behold, someone requested communication with me, but I thought nothing of it as he had no photos. I sent a "photo nudge", asking for photos (or however that works), and he added some. We started communicating and it moved forward from there. I was such a skeptic that I still can't quite wrap my mind around it!


Have things worked out well for you? Wishing you both the very best!
