1. It requires you to think about yourself. A LOT. I don't think I've ever sat down and thought of things like "can't stands" and "must haves" or EXACTLY what I'm looking for in a relationship.
2. You kind of realize how many people are really out there. The guys online (or at least most of them I'm guessing) are ready for a relationship and are probably just as sick of bad relationships and stupid games as I am. I've come to the realization that there is absolutely no point in wasting your time with someone who isn't awesome...there are so many guys out there--just go find another one!
3. It is a good distraction from homework.
4. Creepy guys don't just hang out in bars.
5. There are a whole lot of engineers on eHarmony. Coincidence?
So far I have spent what seemed like an eternity filling out a personality profile. I'm pretty sure I still haven't answered all the questions. Fuck it. I got bored. GOOD NEWS: They accepted me. I hear some people get rejected. APPARENTLY I AM NOT A LOST CAUSE! Yesss. Best news so far this year!
So pretty much what I have gathered is they email you a bunch of crap that says "Meet your new match, _______" and you can go check out their profile. Or you get an email saying "_____ requests communication." Pretty much it all starts with them asking you 5 questions. You respond, then send back your 5 questions. You can pick from a huge list of them. It's crap like "what would you do if your date brought you to a party where you didn't know anyone?" or "what's your idea of adventure?" Apparently if we agree on this we are meant to be? Who knows. So I've been doing this mini-quizzes and then they respond to my questions. I'm always kinda like "uhh...ok? Is this supposed to help me decide if I like you?" I don't know. But then we get to the fun stuff. Must haves and can't stands. You pick from a HUGE list of each and send 10 of each (or something...can't remember) to the person. I suppose it just cuts out all of the bullshit. For example, I can't stand: lying, cheap, dependence, uninterested (yes, they're talking about sex here), judgmental, etc. Apparently I "must have" someone who is: loyal, funny, autonomous, affectionate, ambitious, etc.
Pretty much that's how far I've gotten. I have to do more creeping now. Wish me luck! :)
