If I were chronically single and were thinking about joining an online dating site, I would probably try eHarmony for a while, but would delete the account at some point. I just know that the online dating thing is not for me. It's too easy for creepy people to...be creepy. Plus, how can you really know that the person you're "interested" in isn't a creeper? You can't.
Like Facebook and other social networks, online dating profiles are about creating personas. You can be as honest as you want to be...or not. You can make up a completely different person from who you really are. It's so easy to do this. So how do you know that your "matches" aren't doing the same thing? You don't. It's just too dangerous.
Anyway, eHarmony was absolutely the most in-depth with respect to my personality, values, likes/dislikes, background, and interests. It seriously took me almost 45 minutes to complete the questionnaire. In the end, though, it was pretty spot-on as to my personality.
One thing that each site has in common is, at the end, they want you to write a bit about who you are looking for. So, I wrote something like this:
I'm looking for someone who shares my values and has a similar faith tradition. I want him to share my long-term life goals, as well as be supportive of my personal goals and have personal goals for himself. I want someone who is compassionate, affectionate, romantic, fun-loving, and able to have serious conversations. I want someone who is sensitive to my needs while being able to communicate his own.
And all of these things I found in this guy:
Yay for Seth! He keeps me calm and slows me down when I'm stressing out. He helps me have fun when I'm having a bad day. He is everything I've ever wanted.
I love him.
