It makes me sad to see that so many people have such strong opinions against eHarmony. Let's be honest; there is NO easy way to find love. Whether you try online, out in a bar, a blind date, chances are it's going to take time and many many experiences, some of which won't be that great.

Having met someone off of eHarmony, I of course, give it a great rating. This came after over a year of terrible, scary, matches. I cancelled my subscription many times, figuring that this wasn't working for me. But I always ended up back on there....I found the profile portion to be incredibly daunting to fill out. There were just so many questions. But with each one asked, I learned things about myself that I had never realized. And I realized things that I wanted in a partner that i hadn't even considered. Do I think that dating sites need to "screen" people, no. When you are out socially in a bar, restaurant, whatever, you take the chance when meeting a person. The same thing comes from a dating site. It's trial and error.

I would never say that eHarmony is going to work for everyone, but at the same token, I would never discourage anyone from trying it. I can work for some! And for that, I'll always be grateful.
