Well that gives me a little bit of hope. I've been getting set up with dates from my friends for the longest, never ever worked. People will always act the way they think you want them to be for a while. Then that ends and you've been dating a stranger. Then I tried the free dating sites and all I get is spam. Maybe this site will work out, too soon to tell though.

What a wonderful story Ashley! I am happy for you and your gentleman. Long distance can be overcome when both partners are willing to work it out and find the way to make it happen.

I know what you mean Howard. I have experienced that as well. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for both of us that we have as good an outcome as some of the other success stories I have been reading lately.

Right now I am in the best relationship I have ever had in my life and it is my greatest hope to one day soon be among the success stories here. I do believe that the eHarmony science works and I also think there is great value in reading and participating on the message boards.

As the OP pointed out I think a critical ingredient to success is not giving up. Although some of my advice giving friends on here might disagree, I also think beginning the relationship with the end objective (marriage) in mind is very important. Instead of nitpicking your date against a checklist, try opening yourself up to the possibility that your first date or meeting could truly lead to something wonderful. Ask yourself, “How can I let this person know I’m truly interested in learning more about them? How can I let this person know I’m intrigued at the possibility of us exploring a relationship together? What can I do to help them feel just as intrigued at that possibility as I am?” I’m willing to bet that attitude is one of the major components all of the success stores here have in common.

I hope to read your success story here soon!

Best of luck to you and wish me luck, too!

That was an absolute pleasure to read! I hope and pray that everything works out for you :-) I could really identify with a LOT of what you've said with your trials in searching for that "Dream Guy." Like you I am also young and on Eharm (23). I also recently had a very similar situation to what you have described in meeting your Richard :-) All the best! Keep us updated!
