If you're looking to browse through lots of potential dates--or even blast through the sign up--don't bother with eHarmony. But, if you're ready to find the love of your life, grab a cup of coffee and take about an hour (no kidding) to fill out their free, in-depth profile that can help you do just that. Founded by Dr. Neil Clark Warren, a relationship expert, in 1998, they boast an astounding number of happy marriages. Be forewarned, too, that they have a strong Christian bias, so they have a straights-only orientation, and may even reject atheists or agnostics among the 20% or so of applicants to whom they say, "Sorry, can't help you." They claim their system has only been scientifically tested from this perspective, so they can't say it works as well for others. I guess that's their prerogative, but I feel that they could be more upfront about it. Beyond all that, here's how it works. Their test is based on 29 dimensions of relationship success (yup, just like you've heard in the commercials). They match singles who have the best chances of long-term success, rather than you're picking singles you think are "hot." They e-mail you matches, and then you can either initiate conversation on your own, or they can guide you. That's kind of nice, and unique. It's like having his buddy saying, "Oh, and be sure to ask him about his sister in England, and why she's so special to him." Helps get past that awkward first contact stage and right to the important matters of the heart. No wonder the people on the commercials say things like, "I felt like I'd known her all my life." Who couldn't use a good coach in something as important as finding your soul mate? So, if you're ready to go beyond dating and spend
the rest of your life with that one special person, trust eHarmony - Take a Tour.
