An eHarmony Success Story

An eHarmony Success Story

Peter Watson, the editorial page assistant for the Jackson Sun, talks about the importance of being both honest and patient when using online dating sites in his article, "With honesty, patience, online dating can work". At first, Mr. Watson tried a free online dating site that did not ask for much information about him. He got matches, but quickly ran into one of the problems of online dating, which is lack of honesty. He labeled this as the first lesson in online dating. If you are not willing to be honest about yourself, it won't work.

After almost giving up on online dating, however, Mr. Watson decided to give eHarmony.com a try. Instead of merely filling out a paragraph about himself, he took a detailed personality profile with hundreds of questions. In addition, he found that the first few contacts with matches were moderated. He was given lists of traits that the prospective matches possessed, so that by the time he met with someone, he knew enough about them to have a good sense of whether or not it could work.

Patience also proved to be key in this search. Even with the improved dating method of eHarmony.com he did not find an immediate match. In fact, he almost called it quits because even though he met nice people and had enjoyable dates, he did not make that special connection with any of them. Happily, however, his soul mate did come along. Because he was patient and honest, Mr. Watson found someone that that makes him truly happy.
