…eHarmony? eh….
I’m still navigating eHarmony. Really, it’s not that bad — but I do wish that there were a few features that they had. The waiting for someone to reply back to you is horrendous. Especially since you can’t see when the last time they logged on was. So for all you know, they’ve seen your initial communication request but they’re not interested and they were too lazy to close the match.
Yes, I think there are people who are too lazy to close matches. Mainly because I’ve done the same. Since I have joined eHarmony before and then suspended my profile, I realize that there were matches that I neglected to close in 2008. Seriously, I can’t go back and close them now…because people get notification of that kind of thing. So they just sit there — just hanging out and taking up visual space on my computer.
I talk almost every day to the Guy #1 who I’m still having a date planning session with. And then today I received a communication from Guy #2. Yes that’s right 2 months on eHarmony and I’m only actively communication with two men.
I know there’s this whole dimensions of compatibility thing…but I could meet more than two men on a random weekend out.
We’ll see what happens with these two. I’m not holding my breath.
online dating chronicles
A while ago, I contemplated giving up dating. Only because the last guy was a complete asshole — and well, the guy that makes me smile from ear to ear lives in Florida. So, I signed up for eHarmony in hopes that if there was any likelihood that I find a guy that doesn’t live a plane flight away from me, it might be here. Plus it touts this whole ‘many dimensions of compatibility testing.’
I’d like to say that thus far, eHarmony is a failure! I’ve connected with three men — two of which are not my type at all, and the third which holds slight possibility. Very slight. But he lives a good 400 miles away…(not 1000) yet far away.
Conversations between me and the third guy have been promising. Reminiscent of every other tim I’ve become slightly excited about a guy — we’ll see. There’s a date planning session going on…
self-worth
*I wrote this a few days ago and then lost the post!!*
On occasion, it happens. I answer a text message I shouldn’t have. I talk to a guy that should’ve been ignored. And I seem to be groveling for the attention of my best guy friend. Oh well — shit happens.
Today, the Dr texts and asks if I want to go see a movie. I reply in the affirmative with a reminder that I’m off at 8. His response is, ‘you know it’s just as friends.’ And that’s when I become upset.
He broke up with me in a less than honorable way and there’s no way I’d ever consider being more than friends as this whole friendship thing is more of a pity thing anyway. Truly — he’s overestimating his self-worth here especially when I see him as little more than damaged.
I think I’m going to enjoy my own company tonight. Coupled with a good movie and a glass of wine.
