I have resorted to using EH (unsuccessfully) because it is hard to find a someone who is geniunely a nice guy in Las Vegas. A majority of the men I've met here are either way too immature, too into the club scene, or just not ready to commit. Trust me, dating in Vegas is tough. The guys you meet at bars and clubs usually just want one thing! I believe there is a lot of temptation here in Vegas that just is not good for relationships. I have a great career and I live in a fun city, just looking for someone to have that fun with & share something special with is difficult to find!

I came here because I went to a very "preppy" college, and while I fit in academically I certainly didn't fit in socially. It was tough finding people I got along with as friends, never mind as something more. I also decided to stop playing games and give finding someone a serious shot. I'm patient enough, but it's just been a while since something serious has come my way. I also tend to meet many people far older than me at work, so that isn't helping.

In reality, I have given up on EH after close to 7 months here. I find the boards to be more fun than finding 5-10 new "closed --reason: other" messages.

Lol! I laughed a hearty one after reading this. Yes, some college guys are idiots and only after one thing!

With that out of the way I'm 28 and I joined eHarmony because I got tired of friends, relatives and random people I would meet out and about asking me why I was still single. I got tired of these same people telling me that I am a great catch and there is no reason why I should be single. I like to think that this special woman has not yet entered my atmosphere yet as I hers.

I like to think I have a good social circle as many others have mentioned here. The women in my circle are mostly taken, or just plain friends with no possibility of other feelings ever developing. (I hope they don't see this one) That and as I've been told many of times by friends I can be pretty aloof to advances from the opposite sex. Yes, I know, I gotta get my head out of the clouds and keep it near the ground when I'm out with the guys! But yeah, I've had some success here an there with eHarmony. Though I've yet to find that special someone, through the dates and OC's I've gone through on here, I've gotten to know myself more through this experience than any other. So much so when the one does come along I'm more than confident that if my head is up in the clouds somewhere she, most assuredly will find a way to bring it back down to earth!

To all, good luck on your search! Patience is a virtue and it can most be applied to online dating.

I can't say that I've joined eH in a quest to find true love. I suppose I joined simply because I came across an interesting topic in which I felt it was necessary to reply. I'm pretty good at meeting people and being in long term relationships - so perhaps I am here to help others, help themselves

I'm 29 and living in an area that's mostly families. I keep pretty busy and I don't go to any bars, so I thought that I'd give this site a chance. Up until recently I've always been pretty good at meeting guys and having long term relationships but where I'm working and going to church I just know that it probably won't happen there. I'm at a good place in my life and I'd like to share it with someone.

24, and gave it a shot about a year ago when they sent me some ridiculous promotion where it didn't cost me a whole lot.

Found similar stories: plenty of matches, then 1-2 per week. I think its part of the string-you-along, dont give up, hang in there another month method that EH uses.

I have a great job that keeps me busy, but not too busy but have a lot of hobbies and get a lot of personal enjoyment out of the things that i have for myself. I've dated before but I have not really been "in the scene" for about 4 years now. Bottom line? Im happy right where I am. I dont want to commit, I dont want to get married. If a better job comes up for me, im going to move without batting an eye. I would, literally, make the worlds worst boyfriend, lol, so I choose to stay single.

The few relationships which I've had have only caused great stress and forced me to remove myself from the things that I love the most for someone else.

I am 26 years old and I joined EH in hopes of finding Mr. Right rather than Mr. Right Now. My best friend found her husband on here and it gave me hope because they are absolutely amazing together. Unfortunately, I haven't had good luck so far! The bar scene does not seem ideal and the club scene is all wrong and smells like sweaty alcoholics. So...EH it is! And even though I am getting several matches a day, at least half of them have no picture, another 1/4 are guys 3 inches or more shorter than I am, and the other 1/4 don't respond to any kind of communication. Maybe its true that when you aren't looking the one will just show up one day?

I totally agree with what you said, i had a similar experience, and i think that the commercials are kind of false advertising...

I am 23 going through a divorce at the moment. I just don't understand where I keep going so wrong. I tryed to be the best wife I could possible be...... I guess only one person really knows. I'm looking for "Mr. Right" and have been since I was 18. I want to find someone who will love me for me. Someone who will be my Best Friend. I'm new to EH and the commercials look like it maybe a good place to possibly find my "Mr.Right"...... Not luck so far but time will tell I guess. Good luck to everyone else in finding that someone special....

Late last year I moved. I hate it here. This place is quite simply the lowest common denominator of human life. The bars are all white trash, and I have really been unable to find anyone that I feel would really be a good match for me.
> >
I am hoping to move back into the Chicago suburbs within the next month or two, but I joined Eharm because I wanted to really find someone right for me. Someone I could really care about, share my life with, and truly love. I guess I am a bit of a romantic that way.


Any there any ladies here from the Chicago area, who are actually interesting people, and are looking for a decent guy?

I'll be 25 in a lil over a week.

I joined eH because I'm really wantin to meet someone that I jus click with. I want a family of my own to take care of instead of always takin care of my brothers' families. lol

I've always been able to meet guys but they usually either jus wanna fast roll in the hay or like to play games an I'm really not into emotional games.

So, Here I am on eH at first I'd get like 6 or 7 matches a week, then one or two, an now I havnt recieved a new match for the better part of a month.
I think that I enjoy these forums more than the matches anyway, here people are more themself than that, first impression, type of thing on their profiles, well at least IMHO.
Ok thats all, good luck ya'll! I'll keep my fingers crossed for ya
