You give me hope that someday I will meet a guy willing to help care for my 5 adopted children. I am not as young as you guys look. I am 55 but I also have a 2 yr. old daughter and my kids go up in age to a 15 yr old son.

I just read the story and must say my own eharmony experience has been fanatastic as well. It is true - eHarmony works! In fact, when I first explained the story of howmy wifeand I not only matched up... but the amazing way our first meeting happenedand catching us both completely offguard, hadeHarmony representatives in Pasadena, CA calling me back and asking me questions about it.Most recently, I shared the unbelievable meeting as guest "MC" duringJanuary's Post Falls Idaho Chamber of Commerce annual banquet - in front of hundreds - who clapped and cheered as I ended the story by introducing my beautiful wife - after telling the story in public for the first time. "Miracles" do happen - and it has for us.Our story is a chapter in a bookI'm completing - but even better, a life andmarriage we are sharing withour four children together every day.Keep up the great work eHarmony!!! Fans in Idaho

That's a great story! I, too, am a happily married e-Harmony woman. I was a single mom for 24 years and had decided that there are just no men out there for me. I was just certain that all "good men" had been taken.Well, I finally agreed to try e-Harmony, at that urging of some of my friends, and met such a wonderful man. Bruce and I have been married now for a little over a year and couldn't be happier! I never dreamed that I would remarry... and still be very happy!!!

I find myself reading eHarmony success stories this entire week for some inspiration and motivation to continue. I have been on eharmony for the past 2.5 years, and have yet to find the right one. I have had relationships and have dated numerous women, but it never seems to work out.


I am 40 years old, and live out here in Lombard, IL, a suburb of Chicago. I do have a decent job, I just launched my own start up security business (which does takes guts in this kind of economy), and I am very athletic. I am very passionate about working out, and I am student of the martial arts (Taekwondo). I compete, at a national level as well. It's my dream one day to have my own school and teach kids the martial arts. I really want to help underpriviliged and disadvantaged children, and I think by teaching them the martial arts, this is one of the best ways I can help. I want to give back what has been given to me. People have told me I am a very sweet guy, and have a witty sense of humor.


I just wish there was somebody out there who could see me for who and what I am. It seems like the simplest thing to ask for, but yet I find it is the hardest to get. I am so close to giving up on dating and my plans of finding the right one, getting married, and having a family.


I really could use some inspiration!!!

My husband and I met online 10 years agoin an AOL chat room; we celebrated our 8th wedding anniversary on January 1 of this year. I was in Georgia and he was in California; while I wouldn't recommend 'dating' someone who liveson the other side of the countryfor everyone, it worked for us.


Living so far from each other forced us to spend hours on the phone just talking and getting to know each other. When I finally moved to California (after 2 1/2 years of marriage!!) there were no surprises...I knew him that well.
