((sigh)) My Honey and I met over 2 years ago on EH, and it's still amazing! A few months ago we moved in together...let me tell you, it's easier to move into an empty house than to move into someone else's home! We're getting settled, making room for all of our stuff and enjoying each and every day together! I am so thankful for the love we have found, each day I wake up and feel like I'm the luckiest person in the world!

Both of us are divorced, we've both been hurt, both afraid of making the same mistakes. However, because of our pasts, I feel that we've learned, healed and grown.

Let me tell you about the day we met. We'd gone through the process of EH, getting to know each other, we got to open communication and emailed every day, then spent a few weeks talking on the phone. We decided to meet. He asked for a hug, and it felt sooooo right! You know when you go out with someone and they want a hug, and it just feels "off" or like you're hugging your brother? Not this time, we gave each other a hug, and we fit! We had lunch, that went well and we decided to keep going. We went to a local outdoor store (we're both nature lovers) and we spent the day roaming the store, talking, looking at the mounted displays. Yeah, I know, sounds like a sappy first date, but I loved it. In fact we recently went back there and I shared him how I felt on our first date...the electricity I felt between us...he smiled!

Both of us have been loved and hurt before. However, we both also tell each other that we never knew it could be THIS good! We both feel so fortunate to have found each other!

We get along great with each others families. I love his sons and he loves my daughter...all older (16-22). We have the best time together. To me, the sun has never been brighter, the skies never bluer, and the love has never been sweeter. Am I sappy or what?!

I guess I'm just writing this to give y'all hope. It took a long while to find the right one. It took looking at people I normally wouldn't. I kept an open mind. To be honest, when I first saw a picture of my Honey, I wasn't impressed! Nothing bad, but nothing that stood out either...however, I loved his answers to the questions I asked. Through his emails I got to know a kind, funny, intellegent man. And in meeting, I found a friend, lover, and confidant.

Please don't be discoraged, don't be negative, open up, take a chance, I wish for you to find a love like ours...it's pretty amazing!

Hi mnsnowflake,

Sorry it's taken so long to thank you for creating this thread.

I hope that members bill inspired by your experience to think-outside-the box did when it comes to who they think will be their perfect match.

Also, to remind members that photos sometimes don't do a match justice and that giving themselves a chance to get to know a match by communicating is the best way to support their own success! Nothing to lose, but they just may find themselves in a wonderful relationship like you!

We always encourage members to be positive, hopeful, and open-minded while searching for that special someone; but it is always more meaningful when it comes from an actual eHarmony members.

So thank you again for taking the time to share your story. All the best to you and your eHarmony beau.

-Renee

Congrats, Ms snowflake, and thanks for sharing your story! And thanks to Renee for responding to bring attention to it - this was the first I've seen it, and in addition to the good feelings that come from reading of others' happiness, stories like this really do bring me much-needed glimmers of hope.
