Hi every one,
I don't realy now what everyone means by subscriptions and getting matched because I don't havea subscription, wasn't asked to get one, and dont care to worry about it the way everone else seems to. Her's a funny story though.

I was sitting in a construction line waiting for the traffic to move. Having a verry good time with my daughter listening to music and rockn out as we do.( Dancing in our seats)There was a pretty attractive man in the vehicle behind me so I occasionaly admired the view in my side mirror while he continued his multiple phone calls. ( lol probably rescheduling all his appointmenst for the day)

He glanced in return occasionaly. The wait continued, so my daughter and I got a little more wild and decided to sit on our windows (dukes of hazard style)In our rainbow colored pick-up truck. Oh yes, dancing still to the radio. After a couple of minutes we got back into the truck, and continued dancig there. (I think the construction guys were getting scared). The handsome man behind us was apparently tickled by our antics. He looked at me through our mirrors and waved his cell phone at me with eyebrows raised. I nodded my head and my daughter proceeded to give him my phone number through the back window on a piece of paper. Then he held up fingers to give me his number.

After the traffic was moving we pulled over and introduced ourselves at a nearby gas station. we flirted by texting the next day, he asked me out, that night night, and then didn't show up. He wanted to pick me up at 10:00. I was playing safe so I told him he could pick me up at the bar in my town where I'b be playing darts.

I figured that way we could get aquaintd before I got in his car, and then we'd be staying in a public place. Anyway, I had fun even though he didn't show up. I called him and left him a nice "It was fun, and take care message".

This was yesterday,
Lisa

For me "dating" has been going great, largely because I have only been on two.... explination: IMHO dating stinks so I generally don't. First girl that it got so far as wanting to meet was over 100miles south, both of us have children so can't move. We had dinner as friends, absolutely no pressure and (I think) it was great. Nothing more happened other than a great friendship started.

My first "date" , we met at a pub (too noisy) and tried to get to know each other (complete wast of both of our time). On a date people try to impress the other with all the things they think the other wants to see resulting in learning NOTHING about the other.

This brings us to "L." Took a long time through guided communication (thought she had given up on me couple times). Talked bunch on phone, decided to meet (not date). She works (manages) place that deals with kids, so decided to meet "friend" with my kids. Went incredible! I got real good peek at her in her realm of comfort. My girls thought (still think) we are just "friends" (I have a lot through Jeep club I am in). Because she trusted me, first "date" was Jeep ride through the desert to lake for lunch.
Yes, that is her driving my Jeep. We both had screaming good fun. I could not have scripted it better. She got to see me in my realm of comfort. A week later was second "date": cooked her dinner: BBQ Alaskan Salmon I had caught, followed by walk up "mountain" (only about 400' vertical) I live on. Moving VERY slow (ok, believe it or not I am incredibly conservative) and enjoying every second.

Currently closed all my matches with "thank you" letter.

Came back to EH about a month ago and have gone on 1 date with a single mom. This is actually a first for me. I'm not turned off to single moms being that I came from a single parent household were my father was the single parent and not my mom. What can I say, we've been on two dates thus far. Both dates were really good! After the second date I'm still looking to find that spark that will tell me that I should continue on. I haven't seen it yet and I'm not ready to give up on it either.

I'm hoping within the next couple of weeks or so given her time and all to schedule a more intimate date where we can spend more of the day together and not just a couple hours here and there. I think only then will I know if I should continue on with things.

Unfortinately EH did nothing for me. The matches I received did not fit my personality. I have started dating but not through any kind of online service.
I figured their are plenty of good men out their looking for that special someone just like me.
That was my experience with EH. I hope others get better results.

I dropped my subscription because it was so poor. Too many religious people there trying to recuit for the church. After the 6th time it happened, I closed out before the subscription was over.

Not dating at the moment but who knows what tomorrow brings.

The last few eH guided communications seemed lengthy and strained and felt like I was in a best answer contest. Not renewing my 1 month sweepstakes entry -- I mean subscription!

I have a new admiration for those who make it thru the process and find their partner.

ya I didn't like the matches I got I think going to a local bar would be more worth the time honestly. I think its hard for an online site to really match poeple correctly.

Won't give any details b/c I'm afraid I'll jinx myself, but things are looking up a little. I might not be out of the sewer yet, but I think I can see the surface.
