My buddy Raymond has some thoughts about this recent experiences with eHarmony:
I just went through and wiped out all but two of my contacts on eHarmony. I had indicated in my profile settings that I was willing to relocate to find a “mate.” Maybe I would be some day. But right now I have too much going on to consider anything in another state. There ought to be enough women here in Austin to provide a sufficient group to “date from.” I am not saying long distance relationships or relocation is a bad thing. I just have a lot of progress I need to make in several areas of my life and I don’t need to concern myself with planning weekend trips to see anyone right now.
My best friends in Virginia, Doug and Kellie met through eHarmony and were a long distance couple for a little while. Anyone who’s been around these two can tell that 1) they were meant for each other, and 2) the fact that they grew up half a country apart was simply a geographical clerical error on the part of the universe. They are the reason I am an eHarmony member right now.
Actually I sometimes kid Kellie because there were a few times before we met when she visited Northern Virginia for work and other reasons. Probably drove right past my old apartment a few times. Its interesting how destiny works itself out.
Keep it up Raymond, I’m sure you’ll find what you’re looking for.
