Joining eHarmony (free communication weekend to Day 2)

So it is 2010 and a new year right? So why not throw caution to the wind and join eHarmony so I can put myself out there. What do I have to lose? Right?

Ok, so I haven't played the field (is that even still a phrase?) in about 10 years. And it's been almost 2 years since my relationship ended so I figured it was time to at least try to put myself out there. And there is a lot to choose from - match.com, chemistry.com - hell, there is even onlinebootycall.com - which completely made me laugh but hey - at least they are honest about what their site is all about. I have had many of my friends do this online dating thing - mostly match and then some on chemistry.com too. I gravitated towards eHarmony - not once but now this is my second shot - now that I think I know what to expect, again, I think.

So it started with the free communication weekend over the holidays, of course I hedged until it was the second to last day. So I went online, reactivated my profile, extended my search criteria and poof! In came the matches so here I am going, should I or shouldn't I? Should I? or Shouldn't I? And then one of the matches reached out to me.

Maybe I am a traditional woman but there is something to be said when a guy reaches out and makes the effort so we started communicating and are now on level 3 of communication since Monday. Hmmmmm and he hasn't written back but as eHarmony states - be patient.

Ok, so how do I deal with my patience, I took the next group of matches, closed some and then sent communications to 9 other matches - Ha! That will show him, right? Oh yeah, he doesn't see that...hmmmm. Well we shall see what happens.

I am giving this eHarmony three months and then I may have to take another adventure out into the less virtual and more real field. Stay tuned and see what happens!
