Thanks for your postings as they reminded me that I don't ever wish to try online dating again. I was about to try eHarmony again after Yahoo! Personals. I was a member of eHarmony for over a year and kept being sent referrals to men who were out of my age request. I didn't want to end up a widow or taking care of someone in ill health much older than I. You're correct in that, to keep you going, I was offered deeper and deeper discounts to stay. I'm convinced that, even though I do know three friends who have been successful with online dating, success stories are the rare ones. If a match is going to happen, it will have to happen the old fashioned way - personal contact. For some of us, it may never happen. Good luck to all of you who still hope and wish.
