So I logged in and spent a good hour and half taking the personality test. I felt confident my answers were specific enough to really match me with a great guy. My results were as follows: Unfortunately, there are no matches for you at this time.
What? How is that even possible? It’s not like I drew a picture of a specific man that I just had to have. Maybe I am too picky? What did I do wrong? Should I take the test again and change my answers? These questions swarmed through my brain. I’m not going to like; I was depressed.
A few days later, I talked to a friend who was also an Eharmony member. She said the same thing happened to her, but wait and someone will match my profile. So I waited.
I checked my email two and three times a day hoping a match had been found, only to see a big fat goose egg in my inbox tally. It took two weeks before I finally received the golden email from Eharmony bragging they found a match for little ‘ole me.
I punched the enter button and waited for his profile to pull up. All I get is a blank photo and his name. Attached was a little link that read: to receive the full profile you must have premium membership.
Here goes my credit card again.
I put in my payment and clicked on his name again. He was a handsome sort with morals that paralleled my own. Things were looking up until I read the state he hailed from. I live in the Deep South, and he called Alaska home!
I like my sunlight year around, not six months at a time. But, beggars can’t be choosers. So I replied to his message, and we chatted a bit. Nothing ever came from the one match Eharmony gifted me with. Neither of us were willing to leave our homes for a chance meeting. He ended up finding someone closer, and I deleted my account with dating site number 2.
My friend that was also a member did happen to find the love of her life, and they are happily married with a child.
Even after two disappointments, I wasn’t willing to throw in the towel yet. But, I also was not willing to pay a membership fee either. This led me to the site Plenty of Fish. But that’s next week’s adventure.
