I recently started connecting on line with people through eHarmony. It cost $200 to sign up of 6 months, so it better be worth it. The question is, what would make it worth it? To find the love of my life? I don't know about that. eHarmony doesn't change the fact that one needs to make a good impression in person. I signed up because, with my busy schedule of coursework and full-time job, it seems necessary in order to interact with people frequently. Otherwise, I would interact with mainly the same people everyday.
So. . . anything good in these interactions? The eHArmony system walks you through a sort of "interaction process." Which is good. I've been going along with that process and simply responding to the men that make contact with me, and reaching out to a couple of them. While no hot dates have come out of it (not yet!), there is something valuable in the process itself. The patterns that are emerging in our interactions are interesting, and perhaps instructive. I'm asked by nearly every single guy if I have a sense of humor, and. . .I say "I crack myself up!" They want to know if I am physically affectionate, if I need to feel chemistry on the first date, how I am with money, etc (see some of my answers here). Hopefully, I will have gained more knowledge about my own preferences in dating and relationships by the time the 6 months are up, and I will also have a sense of what is important to men (good to know!).
