Tuesday
Day 26...less than a week to go in the month long subscription. Updates? I turned off the automatic renewal on eharmony and have had less and less interest in looking at new matches. But I still look.
Interestingly, the day after I wrote that it was funny the other guys I had been communicating with were strangely silent, they must have heard me - the next day *Chicago answered my 3 short answer questions and asked his own, and another guy initiated with me that I'd put in my "interested" column. I haven't responded, I'm not going to. I can't imagine either of them being remotely as endearing, charming, mature, sweet - okay, okay, I'll stop - as *Arizona.
Speaking of...I had another great date with *Arizona! I even introduced him to *Stevie! She thinks he's great too - very important. I don't think I've introduced someone so early to friends nor wanted to - nor been out with a guy willing to be introduced at this point. I can't wait for him to meet everyone, my friends, my family, my whole life. I want to share all the parts of my life that matter to me, with him. We continue to connect on all sorts of levels that seem beyond chance. We talk for hours upon hours and enjoy so many of the same things, agree on so many important world issues and - oh wait, distracted, he just called :-) Needless to say...I keep getting told by friends and coworkers that they've never seen me like this.
Anyway, the point is that I think I've found someone great - or rather, eharmony introduced me to someone great. I am closing all the matches I get and instead of telling them "I want to pursue other matches at eharmony", I've switched to "I'm pursuing another relationship". Because I think that's what I'm doing - I certainly hope so anyway!
But back to eharmony...I mentioned last time that I thought I'd exhausted the interesting matches available. I no longer believe that to be true. I think without *Arizona, that there are anywhere from 10-15 guys I'd be interested in talking to, at least initially - many new ones pop up every day. It's quite fascinating still. And many of whom have initiated communication with me (but I haven't reciprocated). Granted, my heart isn't in it, but I've been objectively looking at this as an experiment and this blog as a way to share my opinions on eharmony. Even knowing I might be extremely lucky, blessed, due, whatever, in finding *Arizona right off the bat, even without that, I'm recommending it! And if you ask around I think you'll hear a lot of similar stories. I've certainly heard my share which I wouldn't have believed without this experience but now know to be true.
So I've closed matches I knew there was absolutely no interest in and I haven't answered a few others, but I know a part of that is that I have one week left - less than now - and there's still that "what if", "where's the other shoe dropping" part of me that makes me hang on - even though I have very few doubts about *Arizona. I'm just really rational and haven't found anything like this in almost a decade so I am a touch sceptical. Not to mention my vehement arguments that online dating wouldn't work for me! I do believe I deserve to find something real like this and am so hopeful it continues. I believe it will, I've had no reason to think otherwise. since the moment I met him. How refreshing to be into someone that is into me. It shouldn't be that hard, but it has been for me. I'm so excited for what's next for us.
I am sad to see such an early end to this blog, I have really been enjoying it. And sharing my experiences for anyone curious. I will say it again - TRY IT. You have nothing to lose...and perhaps...a great relationship to gain. One month, $60...money forgotten about a week in. TRY IT. And tell me how it goes! Who knows? Maybe that's the next installment of Digital Liaisons...
When Day 30 hits, I'll send another update. From what I can tell right now, I'll be with *Arizona so give me a little leeway on the timing haha.
And as always...wish me luck!!
Tally for Day 26:
Great Guys Met: 1
Relationships Building: 1
Hopes for the future: Infinite!
Should you try it? Y.E.S.
