I had used other online dating services, and met some men who were not who they said they were and some nice guys that I just didn't have enough in common with. I tried eharmony as my last shot at online dating. I was sent several matches and went through various steps of the communication processes. They sent me several matches right away. One of the first matches they sent me, whose sense of humor in his profile attracted me, turned out to be a wonderful man! We have a lot in common; interests, hobbies, life style, backgrounds, etc., and he lives just 35 minutes away! If it wouldn't have been for eharmony, we wouldn't have met, and the way things are going, I think our match will last a long time! I don't know if we just got lucky, or were in the right place at the right time - on eharmony. I managed to meet him during my 7 day free trial period and still had no problem with my refund! My personal experience with eharmony has been very, very good. Normally I'm not so lucky, if I were, I wouldn't have needed eharmony!
