Just out of curiosity, I am interested in how easy or how difficult it has been for people at eharmony to find someone compatible enough to date. I've been on chemistry.com for three months and now eharmony for about two or three weeks.

It is so complicated, ya'll, and it doesn't even have to be.

I've been told that a person needs to give it at least a year. Now, I don't know exactly what the "at least" a year is for.. to get someone to respond perhaps?

I was on eHarmony for 7 1/2 months before I had anyone respond to Guided Communication. It was about 10 months before I had anyone go all the way through the process and get to an actual date. I have been on eHarmony for almost 2 years. While I have had a number of matches that have gone out with me, most only for a first date, I have not found "the one" (well actually I did but it takes two to tango and she did not have the same feelings that I did). I did have two that I was interested enough in and dated long enough that I felt a need to turn off matching to see where the relationship would lead.

Now I sense a problem with your outlook / dating process. You should adopt the philosophy of going out with almost anyone at least once. If you view each match from the standpoint of "is this the one" you are missing out on both a possible opportunity for fun and a learning and growing experience.

I've been on EH for 5 years (on and off). I'm starting to think that EH is very saturated, which isn't a bad thing, however with so many choices its more of a challenge to make it through guided communication and to the meeting point.

Why does it say that this thread has been moved? What does that mean?

It was moved from Dating to Advice, perhaps because you're asking for 'advice' versus something pertaining to 'dating' how this is determined probably depends on the MOD.

I use to think 5 first dates would start a relationship. At least that is what I thought before e-harmony.

Now, I have no idea. At one point, I use to think between 80-100 matches and I also thought about 12 first e-harmony dates. I honestly have no clue any more.

I don't remember the actual figure, but for me it took somewhere in the range of 90-100 matches and 7 months to get to GC/OC, and then an actual, in-person date. I only had one match move that far, but he was/is a keeper.

Frog!
You and I have to have a serious talk about this matter - you simply should not be allowed to make me laugh when I least expect it!

OP,
Sorry, but to both your and the Frog's dismay, I have no use for the law of averages here - simply never considered myself to be average, or even a Jedi for that matter!
