I tried E harmony for just over 1 month. I was getting frustrated at first and went on a date with someone I normally wouldn't have, it didn't work. I was soooo over it and wanted to get off the site except it would sign me up right away. It ended up that the second month I basically deleted every match I got except one. He pursued me and we have been attached at the hip ever since. He is more then I could have imagined, we even ended up sharing the same group of friends. We went to the same university and share the same interests, passion and beliefs. .... I think the key to the website dating is to be very specific and don't settle, and have faith. If you are fed up of meeting the wrong people else where, then go for it and make your destiny. Good luck, and all the best.
A lot of people try these sites for only a month, usually the trial period. When they don't meet anyone, they give up. But one month is not a realistic timeframe. Imagine if you had given up after one month.
eHarmony flat-out refused to match me, after I took all that time, to fill out the detailed questionnaire...plus, they wouldn't even give me a real, clear-cut reason as to why either Still to this day, wondering why they decided that way...was it because I listed "Jesus Christ", as one of my heroes, perhaps? I have been told many, many times by other people that I am a very caring, respectful person, so I was really bewildered at the time, by the eHarmony match rejection decision.
ETA: eHarmony, match.com, and many of the other paid online dating sites, didn't really work at all for me...the one dating site that I *would* actually recommend to others, if only b/c I got about 20 or so dates from this site alone, would be OkCupid.com (which is also free btw).

Maybe they figured they didn't have anybody good enough for ya!
Lol...thx so much for the sweet compliment sierraAZ!! That's very kind of you to say; again thank you!
Not that I have anything against you (I don't really know you well), but I was being sarcastic. I think all of us are soooooo picky there are hardly any people left after we check all the boxes.

Haha, not it's totally OK; I understand sierraAZ! Sorry for the confusion there, lol...

Considering eHarmony was founded by a conservative Christian and is heavily geared towards Christians, I doubt very much that listing Jesus as your hero hurt you. I'm an atheist and even I got matches on there. If you're not getting any, I would go back and look at your requirements as well as the answers you gave on your questionnaire. Maybe you gave an answer that made it impossible to find a match for you. Also, you live in DC. How many people there do you think would list Jesus as their hero?
I tried e-harmony several years ago, but wasn't impressed.
The one relationship that I did get out of match was with a physician, but it wasn't until I met him and asked what he did that I found out. I thought he was a newspaper editor or something, just guessing by his e-mail and pix.
I've known 3 or 4 girls in the USA who have scored with doctors, entrepeneurs, etc. And I wonder if people have to mention their salary in the profile or something. If so, I feel bad for the guys who make less than average who are truly looking for a relationship. They will probably have less possibilities of scoring with the girl they thought was pretty compared to the doctor, lawyer, entrepeneur, etc. Not like women will go "Oh, I will now look for profiles of guys who make less than me".
I wonder if this person who said was a physician was really a physician or just had to say that in order to catch women's attention to send him a message.
So for the people who are members of eHarmony, do you have to mention your salary or profession to register or to show in your profile?
I tried eharmony once, gave up after the trial period. I ended up meeting one person, but the lenghty back and forth questions didn't seem worth mediocre date I got out of it. Now that I've thought about it again, perhaps I should give it another try. It was almost 3 years ago when I tried, and to be honest I really wasn't ready to be dating yet.
