Hi, my name is Juan. I am a real eHarmony success story. I was browsing the advice columns to see what kinds of advice eHarmony had to offer on some relational things in general, but I hadn't really done anything with eHarmony since I went into open communication with my wife and we got married. We both had no need of eHarmoney after that.

I wanted to write this to let you all know there are indeed success stories and the success I have found has been phenominal! I started looking in January of 2006 and 2 weeks later, my wife(an eHarmony match), popped up onto my list. I thought she was the most interesting one on that list (and best looking too!).

I showed interest in various women on my list depending on their profile, but I made it into open communitcation with her pretty quick because we both really like the answers we gave to the questions. I wasn't really sure if it was really real as I had been on various other online dating sites and I had met plenty of dissapointment over a year's time. I guess I was very skeptical but I thought if any website could hepl me find a truly lasting relationship, it was eHarmony.

She wanted to meet me in person after about 2 weeks of chatting online. I aqueiesced and we met near her at a Cracker Barrel. When I saw her I pretty much couldn't keep my eyes off her. I followed her in and we both had dinner and talked to great length. It was amazing! I was totally at home with her! I felt nothing I said to her would scare her away. She blatantly just stared at me long periods and she sometimes got embarassed when she noticed she did.

After that we went to the mall near there to see The Chronical of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. There was time between so we walked around in the mall and we talked. She stared lots more and I just couldn't stop myself from talking very frankly with her. It really felt like some kind of magic.

When we went in to see the movie, I found myself actually putting my arm around her and holding her close to me while we watched. She put her head on my shoulder. I am not accustomed to doing this kind of thing. I do not move fast and I'm not accustomed to doing even that on a first date.

As I described, the first time we met was sorta magical. I felt exactly like the commercials described. She has admitted she does too. Our friends mention we should be on that commercial.

We've been married a little over a year now and the marriage has been a great success! I guess I get a good perspective of this because I had been married once before. I compare the two and during the first year I was first married, we had plenty of friction and fights and we were just NOT very compatible. In the end, it was being incompatible to where she was pursuing one thing and I was pursuing another thing that led to our divorce. In my marriage now, I have had 1 wonderfully exciting and blissful year with my "eHarmony" wife and we've fought very little, because our compatibility is so good, we tend to agree a lot and don't have much to disagree about. In fact, my wife is currently away and I miss her lots! She called a day ago and mentioned the same thing.

I have heard of stories where people didn't find the "right one" after being on eHarmony for a while. My brother (after trying it) has met with mixed success. I've met others like myself who found someone they were absolutley happy with and getting married due to eHarmony in real life at various places I've worked at. The success IS there! The fact is I believe that eHarmony is indeed the BEST way to find "the right one" and that going through the dissappointment is well worth it when you can see it through the eyes of a success story.

I am happy for you both. The problem is, this was two years ago. All the scammers have invaded E now and we never know who or what we are being scammed by. It is too bad that EH can't be more careful on who they let through those magical doors. I still have hope, but it dwindles everyday with each scammer we turn in.

That is a great story and so very encouraging for someone like me who has tried singles sites before only to end up discouraged or meeting someone who scared me off. I had tried eHarmony in the past with NO success so you can imagine how skeptical I was about returning. I can't tell you at what point it happened, but I was watching tv when a eHarmony came on. I thought to myself, "why not try again what could I possibly have to lose". Now that I am more mature, and know what I am looking for in life and in a relationship (not perfection), I have decided to give it another shot. I am hoping that over the next few months that I will have some of the great success that many others have. Thank you for sharing your story and encouraging me to keep hoping!

It's possible to find success stories for pretty much any venture. The eHarmony marketing is brilliant: Take the small percentage of success stories, make them out to be the best couples in history of coupling, and give us suckers hope.

This century's Colonel Sanders absolutley knows what he's doing.

Heh, no kidding. In terms of marketing Warren makes Steve Jobs look like a retarded penguin with ADD. I wonder if it's possible to get your account banned by being visciously inappropriate on the forums? I figure if you're going to burn a "bridge" you might as well have fun in the process right?
