You may or may not meet Prince Charming. I'm sure there are other people on there like you, looking for someone to get to know. Its image on TV ads isn't exactly one of raucous good times but more sedate meet and get to know?

I was part of a woman's group though 2-3 springs ago and was surprised and it was one of the reasons I left; most of the women were single and the whole group got into where to go and how to meet guys and it was the worst-sounding meat market sort of things I'd ever heard. The woman who was doing most of the "partying" was cruel, I thought, she'd arrive late to an in-person meeting and check the guy out first and if she didn't like his looks, she just wouldn't "show up"! But everyone else thought this was a wonderful tactic. The married group leader, an MSW, didn't have a lifestyle/ethics like mine either; she signed up at one of the online dating places just to see what they were like and to see what kind of guys would contact her, etc. But once the one woman started showing up (was different the first 4-5 meeting) the whole group experience changed so I didn't feel like I fit in.

The only thing about E-Harmony ads that bother me are all the references to "it was love at first sight!" stuff. I'd want a relationship and lots of talk and getting to know the other person, etc. first. Seems people try to rush getting to know others these days; speed dating, online, instant "I'm free, how about you?" etc.
