I had originally signed up in early December of 09 on the advice of a coworker who had had friends see success with eHarmony. I was getting tons of matches but nothing that led to open communication, I was really being picky as i was looking for the real thing and wanted to make sure I was not wasting my time and had closed many matches at the deal breakers stage of the communication. so one fateful day, Dec 25th to be exact i was matched with her. We both made it through to open communication very fast and quickly began talking online.

On Jan 12th we had our first date in person, little did i know in setting the date that I had picked her favorite restaurant. the date went very well and we ended up going to a nearby coffee shop afterward. I knew the date was going fantastically when we didn't notice that the coffee shop had closed around us and the last employee there was kicking us out.

Well about 2 months into dating a situation arose that left her needing a place to stay while she looked for a new place to live. She had asked me if she could possibly stay with me for a little while and i knew this early in a relationship this could likely doom us to a fast breakup. Knowing her other option was moving back home i agreed to let her stay at my place for a little while. This is where instead of dooming us the relationship blossomed even more. And about a month and a half later she found a place and began to move there. and i began spending my days at her house nearly every day.

Fast forward to today and my apartment lies mostly empty and we are happily living together and a week away from a trip to Florida together. I could not be happier at this point in my life i have someone who shares my values and goals in life and who I dearly love. Thank you eHarmony for helping us meet up where otherwise we would have likely never met in a million years.

Dear andrewn,

I'm also so glad that the chance you took turned out so well and that the two of you are happily sharing your lives together!

Yes, one of the great benefits of using eHarmony is that you have the chance to meet compatible people you would have probably never met otherwise.

Nothing wrong with knowing what you want! In fact, that's what the Must Haves/Can't Stands are all about. But, though you were being picky, it sounds like you were still willing to communicate with matches before deciding they weren't the one for you.

So very happy for you two, and hope that you will update us from time to time to let us know how you are doing!

All the best,

-Renee

I'd rather love someone I can't have than have someone I can't love.

I love seeing people be able to tell stories like this. Is it my turn yet, LOL.
