When my husband and I met he was joining my show "already in progress" so to speak. I had a long career of dating the same guy in a different package with the same problems. And I was sick and tired of it. So I tried online dating, and much to my surprise it worked! TA DA! Well duh it worked you paid it to work for you...
He and I became friends and talked for months about who else we were dating and where we wanted our lives to go and where we saw ourselves in two or three years, and then in five and then in ten...
And I have to tell you while we were up late and on the phone or on a date we were the only two people in the world and it was fine for me. I wanted that, I needed that.
We met on eHarmony and were matched in late 2005 talked through most of 2006 and began dating, took a break at my hand and then were married in November of 2007. A process that now looking back was entirely too short. When they match you, you already know everything from religion to blood type and shoe size amongst favorite books personal goals and what the persons friends may or may not think about them from their perspective.
Now part of me loved that, I love getting to know people. QUALITY people and eHarmony completely delivered that. But once their part was done I let the communication go by the wayside and I was completely and utterly twitterpated with my now husband... this would come back to bite me in the ass later...
eHarmony is fantastic and I would recommend it to any one who is done with conventional dating.
But I would also recommend new couple counseling to ALL the people that get engaged coming from me I think we needed that and after talking to other couples I think they needed it too.
I just don't know what happened between I'm falling for you and I do...
