Thank you for subscribing to eHarmony!

Dear Donna,
I want to sincerely thank you for becoming a subscriber and partner with us here at eHarmony. You have taken an exciting first step in what we believe is the best way to overcome the difficulties many of us face in finding and getting to know the right person for a lasting and happy relationship!

Yes, it is true that I have described my past forays into online matchmaking as pulverizing and disastrous. It is also true that I have been unattached for over 1 year. Throughout my life (minus a 5-year, long-distance relationship) I have been happily single. Having a boyfriend was never a goal or a need. However, as I get older, I am realizing that if I don’t act, I may find myself permanently alone. Dying a spinster isn’t my fear…. I can accept that couplehood just isn’t in my cards as long as I know that I at least tried to find companionship. And so I start my second year of trying. eHarmony seems like it is worth a go. If I get a date out of it, it will be worth the $100.00 membership fee. Plus, there is nothing that I like more than writing about my bad date experiences. (And I think you guys like reading about them.)
Let the games begin!
