eHarmony, #1 Trusted Relationship site





Nearly Gave Up



Christie and Dustin
We're blissfully happy and have encouraged many people who were "thinking about trying eHarmony" to definitely go for it! Even if you've tried it before (as I had) you never know when the time might be right for you and the other person! Never give up and never settle!

Keith and Kimberly
Kimberly and I had almost given up on eHarmony. We were both nearing the end of our subscriptions, fed up with the results, ready to move on. But, ever hopeful, we decided we would try one last time. And we're both so glad we did.

Sarah and Eric
I never thought this would work. After two months and a number of false starts, I was in my last week on eHarmony. I was literally calling it a day. I had no time to date, was depressed about my prospects, and was ready to give up- and then I heard from Eric.

Heather and Ken
We met on eHarmony. I was at the end of my three-month subscription with no intention of renewing and Ken had just signed up. I wasn't overly happy with the service and had resigned myself to the fact that eHarmony wasn’t going to work for me... A few weeks shy of 2 years since Heather and I first viewed each other on eHarmony--we’re engaged!

Shannon and Craig
I have never been a big believer in love at first sight, and I have to admit I had just about given up on eHarmony after a couple of dates. Then I saw Craig's profile. It was the way he described his parents that peaked my interest, so I sent him my initial set of questions.

Justin and Tiffani
My fiancée, Tiffani had been a member of eHarmony for about a year. Her subscription had actually been scheduled to expire in March of 2008; and after a year of not finding the right guy, she was going to cancel it. She forgot, however to do this and one fateful day in April of last year, her email box alerted her to my match... Thanks eHarmony for bringing this wonderful woman into my life.

  • Engaged: April 12th, 2009



Jennifer and Preston
I had tried eHarmony for three months and didn’t have any luck, so cancelled my membership. Six months later, I ran into a colleague that told me she met her husband on eHarmony and I should give it another try... The first night I signed up again I was matched with Preston.

Aaron and Laura
I joined eHarmony on a whim. A buddy at work was trying it out and convinced me to join as well. I did. And lucky me, I met the girl of my dreams. Laura was about to give up, but she renewed for one final month. We did the guided communication, and went on a date, and the rest is history.

  • Engaged: March 30th, 2009



Todd and Amy
We have both waited a long time for the right person to come along and both were beginning to think it would never happen. It was absolutely incredible, when we met each other, how well we got along and how much we immediately fell deeply in love. We both thought we would feel some sense of hesitation, but through this entire time, neither of us has looked back even once.
  • From: Apex, NC
  • |
  • Engaged: December 5th, 2008



Lynn and Roger
I recommend eHarmony to all my single friends, but caution them to be completely honest about themselves and the person they are looking for. I especially tell them to hang in there. If I would have given up, I would never have met Roger, and now I can't imagine my life without him.

  • Married: February 11th, 2006



Teneise and Hassan
We had been on the site for a few months and were both about to give up. Then Hassan's profile was sent to me, and mine to his...he waited for me to respond! I loved everything he had to say, and based off of personality and interests, he was everything I was looking for, and apparently, so was I.

  • Married: October 9th, 2008



Beth and Joe
Ironically, I had decided that had I not found someone special by the year’s end- then I was going to quit trying. I was tired of looking for Mr. Right.... I was ready to cancel my subscription that next day. Then eHarmony simply delivered him to me that very day! The best belated birthday gift ever!!!

  • Married: August 29th, 2009



Rebecca and Erik
I told my co-workers the day I was meeting Erik for the first time that if this one didn't work out, I wasn't going on another date until I was 35! Well needless to say, it worked out beautifully... Thank you for bringing us together, especially in Seattle, a city known for the "Seattle Freeze", which certainly doesn't help with meeting new people!
  • From: Edmonds, WA
  • |
  • Married: March 21st, 2009



Emily and Daniel
I was matched with Dan, and I decided I would give it one more try... I think the reason we will be together forever is that Dan and I make a great team, and I’m so thankful that I found him.

  • Married: April 25th, 2009



Michelle and Eric
This was both of our second times trying eHarmony, without any success the first time around. I had all but given up and was just waiting for my second subscription to expire... If it wasn't for eHarmony though I don't think we ever would have met... I love every minute I have with him and am so thankful now for it.
  • From: Orlando, FL

  • Engaged: December 20th, 2008



Brent and Laura
It took almost 5 years, but I would have waited a lifetime to meet her. Thank your eHarmony. And for those of you out there who have tried eHarmony and not found the right one, don't give up, he or she is out there waiting.
  • From: St. Charles, IL

  • Engaged: September 25th, 2008



Paul and Stephanie
I am so excited and happy that I have found the love of my life! I had been on eHarmony for 4 years. I had just about given up and I went off eHarmony for a while. Then last January I decided to give it another shot... I just want to thank you eHarmony for matching me up with Stephanie!!! It took 41 years to find the love of my life; but it was worth it!!
  • From: New Rochelle, NY

  • Engaged: October 25th, 2008



Daniel and Cindy
Thanks again for everything, to anyone reading this - Don’t give up, I almost did and I am glad I didn’t. I found the most wonderful person in the world.

  • Married: January 15th, 2009



Kimberly and Jeff
Both of us considered not signing back up, but one of my friends reminded me that you never know what treasures lay around the next corner - and boy was she right!... We both want to thank you eHarmony, for helping us find each other and helping us find how wonderful life can be, when you get to share it with the love of your life.

  • Married: September 27th, 2008



Laura and Kent
I was in my late 40's, and had nearly given up on ever finding my true love... after the success of a friend with eHarmony, I decided to give it one more try... Thank you for giving me the opportunity to find my perfect match. I never could have done it without you.

Donna and Jason
Jason had been on eHarmony for several months with no success and he was about to give up. Something told him to give me a chance... Everyday our love grows more. Thank you eHarmony for this amazing gift!!!!

  • Married: March 8th, 2008



Laura and John
John let me know that the very same night that I was feverishly renewing my membership he too had been contemplating his love life. John told me that same night he had decided to cancel his membership. He was growing weary after two years on the site. I am so thankful for that gut feeling that told John to wait until the morning, and not make any rash decisions. We were in love and we both knew it was real.

  • Married: October 20th, 2007



Melissa and James
I had tried in 2003 and didn't have success so I convinced myself it did not work. But something told me that maybe I should try again.... We are happily married and so in love on such a deeper level that people don't understand our connection. We just have to give our thanks to eHarmony and their matching process.

  • Married: January 26th, 2006



Elizabeth and Dave
After being on eHarmony for a few weeks and having been on a couple unsuccessful dates, I was about to give up. Dave “nudged” me to continue communication with him... Before we knew it, we were inseparable.

  • Married: April 4th, 2009



Ray and Pauline
I was about ready to give up on eHarmony when I was matched up with Pauline in December of 2007... Our first date was magical. We met at an Italian restaurant and talked for more than an hour before we ordered our food. If we didn’t have tickets to a play, we’d have probably stayed there talking all night.
  • From: Sacramento, CA

  • Engaged: August 10th, 2008



Denise and Mike
I nearly gave up. I was about to cancel my subscription and stop dating all together. A friend was visiting from New York and we were discussing how ridiculous the whole thing was, when I saw Mike's profile... He may not be everyone's dream man but he sure is mine.
  • From: Los Angeles, CA
  • |
  • Married: August 1st, 2009



Mary and Scott
I was just about to cancel my subscription and he had just renewed. We started communicating in August of 07, our first date was August 24th and we were married Aug 16, 2008.

Loretta and Michael
I had been divorced 8 years and said I would never marry again, after being on eHarmony for 6 months and not meeting anyone I wanted to date I was ready to give up... Needless to say never say never! I just had to wait to be with the right person for me!
  • From: Metamora, MI
  • |
  • Married: September 20th, 2008



Cynthia and Erik
I told all my friends I was done, that I didn't want to do it anymore even though I had a date scheduled the next day. They talked me into it...We owe you for introducing us and bringing us together. We would love you to use us as a success story, especially since without you, neither of us were having any luck!
  • From: Chicago, IL

  • Married: October 10th, 2008



Suzanne and David
I’m so glad we didn’t give up…the investment of time and energy was so worth it. Even the disappointments were worthwhile, because they led us one step closer to finding each other. We complement each other in amazing ways even we can’t understand yet, and the transition to happily-married-life has been sweet.

  • Married: April 26th, 2008



Melonee and Joe
Because we have so much in common, it has been an easy fit since the very beginning. He says he has known I was the one for him almost since the first face-to-face meeting. We couldn't be happier. I'm glad I didn't give up on eHarmony. I wanted you at eHarmony to know how much I appreciate the many times a customer service representative encouraged me to keep trying.

Erica and James
This was my second time on eHarmony.com. I tried it once three years ago for seven months and didn't have any success. In retrospect, I thought that seven months was not enough time and decided to give this another chance, so I signed up again last year in February and registered a whole year. That is how I met James. He is the only man I have ever dated that really understands where I am coming from and what I really want, and he accepts me for who I am. He is not only my boyfriend but also a best friend...

Tina and Jason
I am looking forward to having Jason as my partner to love, laugh with, grow with, dream with, go on adventures with, build with, encourage -- and the list goes on and on. I was lucky I gave it a chance when I did. Jason was about to cancel his membership right before he met me because he wasn't having a lot of luck. So, thanks, eHarmony!!

John and Tami
I was matched with John on December 17th 2005. I wasn't a member at the time because I had given up on all of it...We met for lunch and the rest is history...we were engaged July the 16th 2007 were he proposed to me in Key West at the Southern Most Point. I am so happy that I took the chance and joined to find my Christmas gift!! It has been the best one ever.

Timothy and Debra
I had been using eHarmony for about eighteen months and Debbie had been using the service off and on for about five years. As you say be patient and persistent. Debbie, 37 had never been married and was not about to settle for someone who did not share her core values. Who would have thought a twice divorced man in a wheelchair could find love with a beautiful educated and never before married woman. Thanks Dr. Warren and keep up the good work!

Rachel and Paul
Rachel had been doing online dating for three and a half years and was giving it her last shot; I had been doing online dating for three and a half weeks and had only been on one date. I got Rachel as a match the day I was leaving for a long weekend in Las Vegas. Something told me to check my inbox before leaving, and at 5 am, I found an angel waiting for me.

Pragati and Tony
Tony and I met for the first time after 7 or 10 days of open communication in April 2006. He had only a few days left on his membership and I had almost given up hope, after several months. Meeting Tony was just like the eHarmony commercials - we both felt completed - like we'd met our other half!
  • From: Mount Gilead, OH

  • Married: March 10th, 2007



Susan and Tony
We were both hesitant of online dating services, but gave eHarmony a try, as neither of us were into the bar scene. I decided to remain with eHarmony a while longer, even though there was not a lot of success in my first 6 months. I'm so happy I did, as I was matched with Susan in the beginning of December 2006.

Victoria and Richard
Rick logged on to eHarmony on a Friday night in order to cancel his membership. I signed up on that same Friday night - a promotional weekend to try it out. He was the first match eHarmony sent me. He thought he'd take a look at this one last match for him. We read about each other at the exact same time. We communicated through the weekend. We are shocked and overwhelmed yet feeling completely at ease like we've known each other forever. We're a perfect match. It's amazing.

Karen and John
I had dated fairly consistently for the past 2 years or so, off and on, since the break up of my marriage...meeting one guy after another through different sites. I'd even tried eHarmony in the past, but I think I gave up on it too soon.
  • From: Dale City, VA

  • Married: April 11th, 2009



Grant and Renee
What saved me was the fact that we already knew each other so well before we met. It was the time that we spent through our guided and open communication that gave me a second chance. Soon, I will be this amazing woman's husband. Renee is definitely my soul mate, and I feel it was fate that brought us together. I can't imagine life without her. Thanks eHarmony.

Lauren and Brad
The neat part about our story is that my roommate is also planning a wedding with a man she met on eHarmony. We're both serving as each other's maids of honor. I had all but given up on the dating scene until I came here, and now I'm certainly glad I did!

  • Married: June 9th, 2007



Teresa and James
I had been on eHarmony for about a year prior to meeting James. I was having difficulty finding the right guy, so I had thought about "taking a break" from eHarmony. But, a good friend of mine had recently gotten engaged to her soul mate, who she met on eHarmony, so I decided not to give up.

Mike and Roxanne
Our dream came true because of eHarmony. Both of us were ready to discontinue our membership but decided to try the last match we were sent which was each other! We couldn't be happier and to have our families around us to celebrate this union was such a blessing.

Vincente and Joanna
Back in March of 2004, after several failed communication attempts along my eHarmony experience, I tried one last time to contact a woman I knew was "out of my league." My membership was just about up after 3 years and I was going to move on off the website.

Lisa and David
I was on eHarmony for about 1.5 yrs, nearly ready to give up. Dave was on eHarmony for about 1.5 weeks, curious if this thing really works. One morning, I was reading through "David" from Alta Loma's profile for about 1.5 minutes when I realized I needed to let him know I was interested in communicating.

  • Married: September 1st, 2007



Carolann and Michael
I'd really given up and, in fact my subscription had expired 2 weeks before I received Michael's match but I was so intrigued by his profile, I bit the bullet and re-upped. So glad I did! We fell in love in no time and were engaged in less than two months. We don't have a date....a lot of logistics to figure out....but I've never been happier....ever.
  • From: San Diego, CA

  • Engaged: April 18th, 2007



Greg and Melissa
I was actually going to quit eHarmony, but I missed the date by one day and had already been charged for a second month. I logged in the next day and read Melissa's profile... I was interested in her from her profile and figured I'd give the site another shot.

  • Married: August 13th, 2005



Gloria and John
I had just decided not to renew for another 3 months and wanted to just let the last renewal run out... Just that next day, I received John's match through email. I decided I had nothing to lose, so I replied and then he replied...the rest is history! It took me a year to find him with eHarmony, but I found him! Thanks, eHarmony!

  • Married: September 20th, 2003



Stephanie and Chris
I am even more relieved that I didn't terminate my membership with eHarmony at the beginning of the year. If I had done that, I would have missed out on one great guy!

  • Matched: March 27th, 2006



Antoinette and Chris
I was honestly one of the largest skeptics and needless to say, your website proved me wrong. I had completely given up and I had decided that I would not renew my subscription, and was getting ready to cancel it a week early. Then a wonderful thing happened last week and by that Friday I was able to have a great conversation with Antoinette.

  • Married: November 26th, 2005



Claire and Bryan
He decided to renew his membership for one more month to see if we would go anywhere, and I'm glad he did because we were just married on May 14, 2005.

  • Married: May 14th, 2005



Susan and Michael
had almost given up my search after becoming discouraged with two months of using the system. I actually let my subscription lapse for a month. But one Sunday, just for kicks, I decided to subscribe again and take a look at what matches there might be. Much to my surprise and delight, there was Susan, the first match listed.

  • Married: February 18th, 2006



Jodi and Todd
I had been internet dating here for almost two years with no success. I was about to give up, but thank goodness I didn't! I think we were both intrigued with each other through pictures and email, but when we first talked on the phone and then met, it was an instant match.
  • From: San Marcos, CA

  • Married: July 29th, 2007



Shawn and Sandi
I was about to give up on eHarmony and dating in general when I was sent Sandi as a match... I am SO glad that I gave eHarmony one more chance! You helped me find my soul mate!

  • Married: July 4th, 2006



Maya and Howard
Both of us began to date and both of us began to feel disillusioned... Finally, we both tried eHarmony as a last hope... The rest is history. We’ve been talking, laughing, and dancing for 11months now. We got married on July 22 and everyday is wonderful.
  • From: El Paso, TX

  • Married: July 22nd, 2006



Doug and Deborah
My first three months were up and I was hemming and hawing over renewing my membership, not because I was unsatisfied with the service, I was just concerned about the financial investment... So, within a day or two, I renewed and was very happy to begin communicating with Debby.

  • Married: July 22nd, 2006



Christopher and Darya
"Growing up together" has been a consistent facet of many of the stronger marriages I've seen. But at thirty-five, something I'd quite frankly given up on, was the notion of ever meeting a woman with whom I could grow up... Love has a way of changing one's mind.
