Meg - Congratulations. What a great story.

I am new to eHarmony and very impressed. I've lived in LA for a year now. I wasn't having trouble meeting men that were fun and nice, but not seeing a long-term potential. I joined eH because of a couple of friends that met their wives on the site. I don't know if this is a regional reaction or what, but if you are looking for quality men in the LA area there are many on eH and they are serious about finding good relationships. In my first week, I met 3 who are remarkable. I had better conversations in that first week than I had had in the previous year - deep, thought-provoking, interesting. I have met all 3 since and continue to be impressed.

Maybe it's just a question of persistence. I was receiving 10 profiles a day. Some were not matches, but many were possibilities. I tried to make the most of all contacts. For example, I rarely chose one of the given multiple choice answers, opting instead to write my own answer. I wanted to make it personal. I was very honest about my must haves and can't stands. I also wrote my own questions after reviewing their profiles and all answers I had received. I was as thorough as I could be in answering questions. I really think it paid off, and I enjoyed the experience.
