(Raising Hand: here! Over here!)

My bf and I met on eH. We are in our 40s and have multiple postgraduate degrees between us. We aren't in the demographic that harnomygirl describes because we're liberal atheists. Nonetheless, both of us were looking for a long-term relationship, though this has also meant something long-distance. So maybe we don't fall into the "normal" category--LDRs don't often work, and ours has been doing very well for the last nearly two years. Two (good, healthy) out of three ain't bad.

Hang in there, Barbarella, and good luck to you!

More like Barbarella's short, wickedly fun single aunt. The hair's pretty close, though.

Well, glad to know that I'm not the only soldier in the Fortress of Crazy. This will be an interesting experience. Has anyone actually had a good, healthy, normal relationship emerge out of this?
I have a friend who met her husband through eHarmony. I personally know through work contacts of another couple who met on eHarmony and I believe they are married (or the wedding may soon). So when I personally know of two marriages from eHarmony it has got to be fairly common, I don't know many people.

I have not had / met any really crazy matches. Well there was one that was a little suspect, but I told her I was not interested soon after getting to OC. Most have not been compatible for various reasons and sometimes I was not interested and sometimes they were not interested. But there have been few that have lasted for a bit of time.

We met on eH 11 months ago. We had been using eH for a few years when we met, we had both dated other eH people. We are in our 40s. We do not attend church. We are both politically progressive. We both have full-time jobs that we enjoy. We both travel internationally for work. He has a PhD (and more), I am working on my masters (by the way, there is a fascinating direct correlation between my masters' assignment load and the time I spend on eHAdvice). We live about 60 minutes apart. He was born and raised in the U.S. (Caucasian). I am an immigrant Latina. English is my second language. He is learning Spanish. We do not have children. We consider our relationship the strongest we have ever had. We feel we are normal average people.

How educated are the matches who married?

It would be nice to define a type.

Wonderful - thanks for sharing the encouraging stories. I feel younger than I did ten years ago and I'm told I look mid-thirties (thank you, active lifestyle), but I do sometimes feel the curse of being over 40 and single, especially in New York. That said, I have a lot of beautiful, outgoing, fun, highly accomplished female friends who are in their mid to late forties and have never married. Not sure why this is. Thoughts?
